(I've already posted this on StackOverflow) Context: Adwords, XML, REST
We had the weirdest thing happen recently: We sent a report request (in a large batch of related requests) for an Account Performance Report and received an Ad Performance Report. Also the report request specified a single day, but the result specified a range of days. This is the Account Performance Report XML: <reportDefinition xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201607";> <selector> <fields>AccountCurrencyCode</fields> <fields>AccountDescriptiveName</fields> <fields>AccountTimeZoneId</fields> <fields>AdNetworkType1</fields> <fields>AdNetworkType2</fields> <fields>AverageCpc</fields> <fields>AveragePosition</fields> <fields>Clicks</fields> <fields>Conversions</fields> <fields>ConversionValue</fields> <fields>Cost</fields> <fields>CostPerConversion</fields> <fields>Ctr</fields> <fields>CustomerDescriptiveName</fields> <fields>Device</fields> <fields>ExternalCustomerId</fields> <fields>Impressions</fields> <fields>PrimaryCompanyName</fields> <fields>Slot</fields> <dateRange> <min>20150706</min> <max>20150706</max> </dateRange> </selector> <reportName>101_1_133_196</reportName> <reportType>ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT</reportType> <dateRangeType>CUSTOM_DATE</dateRangeType> <downloadFormat>TSV</downloadFormat> </reportDefinition> This is what came back. "AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (Jul 25, 2016-Jul 31, 2016)" Campaign ID,Ad group ID,Ad ID,View-through conv.,Total conv. value,Day,Avg. position,Clicks,Impressions,Cost,Converted clicks,Conversions Total, --, --,0,0.0, --,0.0,0,0,0,0,0.0 ame Top vs. Other Total -- -- -- -- 0 0.0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0.00% -- -- -- 0 -- -- Yes, there are appears to be some mangling of the data. However, the status code of the REST call was 200 so the report data was assumed to be correct. Subsequent processing revealed the fault. This is the first time this has happened to us in all the years that we've been sending in this kind of report request. Is there anything I should be looking for with respect to incoming headers and the like that could be used to alert us to subsequent failures of this nature? -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.
