Hi Peter, Thanks for getting back !
Sorry, I am still not fully clear on the same. 1. You mention "*As for the reporting <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/reporting/overview> section,it discusses more in detail how you can retrieve performance data.*" I didn't quite get that. What are the extra details that we can achieve through reporting and not through querying ? Can you please provide an example to clarify that ? 2. Can you please explain in simple terms "*What is exactly keyword_view?*"* , *a simple example perhaps that can explain what can be achieved only through keyword_view and not by running simply query ? 'SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name, ad_group.id, ad_group.name, ' 'ad_group_criterion.criterion_id, ' 'ad_group_criterion.keyword.text, ' 'ad_group_criterion.keyword.match_type, ' 'metrics.impressions, metrics.clicks, metrics.cost_micros ' 'FROM keyword_view WHERE segments.date DURING LAST_7_DAYS ' 'AND campaign.advertising_channel_type = \'SEARCH\' ' 'AND ad_group.status = \'ENABLED\' ' 'AND ad_group_criterion.status IN (\'ENABLED\', \'PAUSED\') ' 'ORDER BY metrics.impressions DESC ' 'LIMIT 50' For example in the above documentation, can we write two queries : 1. selecting campaign.name and id and metrics from campaign 2. ad_group related things from ad_group Is keyword_view used when we have to extract all the information in one go ? Sorry but I need to understand when specifically keyword_view is used. As I said, if I add campaign_criterion or ad_group_ad.ad.id to the "Select" clause it fails with exception given. Hence if I need to extract specific details provided for a campaign_criterion like .. for an Ad what was the radius it covered, ( which needs to be extracted from campaign_criterion) is it possible at all ?
