Report segmentation by week - changing definition of "week"
I've recently started needing weekly segmentation of some reports that I fetch through the API. All pretty straightforward to do ... except I'm not totally clear what defines a week, or whether it's possible to change that definition. In some other (much) earlier topics here, it seems that the definition is (was?) Sun-Sat - but currently when I request the report, the date in the "Week" column is a Monday - and the data seems to line up with that indicating the first day of the week (so a Mon-Sun week). So ... - What is the default definition for a week as segmented in a report? - Is it possible to change that (I guess I'm only really interested in Sun-Sat or Mon-Sun)?

Oh ... and I'm using the .NET API with the v201406 version in case that matters ...

Re: Report segmentation by week - changing definition of "week"
Hello Josh Thanks for the update. That's what I'd figured ... although it would be nice to be able to specify that. When I'm aggregating data across multiple services - some of which use a Sun-Sat week - it's helpful if at least one service is flexible :-) Since I'd really still like to get data in a single request, I think I'll try aggregating on a daily basis - then I can make up whatever definition of week I like!

Problems setting up test account
I'm trying to set up a test account to start working with the API prior to API approval ... but I'm having trouble getting the final step done. I've done everything I think I need to do: create a new client in the MCC, authorize a new account to have access to that client - including all of the steps through to final verification by both authorizer and new account. However ... When I try to sign in to Adwords with the new account ... I get right back to the "Create Google Account" page ... but there's a red warning message at the bottom - "The Google Account xxx@x already has access to an AdWords account linked to an MCC (Customer ID: aaa-bbb-). And then there's a sign-in box ... which, if I enter my password, loops right back :-) The curious thing is that is the correct customer ID, and the correct email, and looking in the MCC at the account access for this client - it shows my account as fully approved with administrative access. Help! Why am I getting blocked trying to sign in ... quite confusing!

ConvertedClicks not returned when segmenting by conversion name
For some reports (campaign and ad group at least), we segment by conversion name. In the past, we have been able to request both Conversions and ConvertedClicks in these segment reports - but recently we have noticed that we're only getting Conversions back in the report - ConvertedClicks comes back as "---". We recently upgraded from v201502 to v201509 - including the change in definition of Conversions. I'm pretty sure that in the previous version, we were getting ConvertedClicks (by its previous name) returned successfully. I understand that non-conversion stats can't be returned with a ConversionName segment - but ConvertedClicks sounds like a conversion stat (and the docs don't show it as excluded) - and we don't get an error, just an absence of data ... Any idea what happened here?

Re: ConvertedClicks not returned when segmenting by conversion name
Very strange - must have been some transient problem as I'm unable to reproduce that this morning. The UI still doesn't show Converted Clicks when segmenting by Conversion Name, but the API returns it ok today.

Custom report timing out
I have a strange case where one report that we request through the API never returns a response. That is, no matter how long we leave it, there is never a response to the HTTP POST containing the report spec. Looking at some earlier discussion, there was talk about timeouts - which indicated that these should not be necessary since we should either get the requested data, or an Adwords error to which we can respond in some appropriate way (reduce scope, segments, etc.) I get neither. The report in question is a Geo Performance Report, segmented by Campaign, Month, City ... which is probably quite large, but I would still expect a response. We have some other pretty large reports with similar specs (although for different accounts) which succeed. Any ideas what might be going on? I'm quite happy to split the report up further ... but I don't want to do that unless necessary, since every other similar report succeeds. BTW - setting a Timeout in the .NET API (the default is indefinite) causes a different problem which I've logged an issue for in Github. Thanks Adrian BTW - I'm using the latest 18.22.0 version of the .NET API although still with the v201509 version of the protocol. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
