Hi there,
The value of money fields may differ from the API and the UI. The API
returns money values in micros as explained in this guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting#money_fields_in_reports>.
However, the values you mentioned were significantly different. Can you
provide the complete report definition and your clientCustomerId used when
you downloaded the report so I could further investigate this? Kindly use
the *reply privately to author* option. Do take note that the Criteria
Performance Report does not have an equivalent report in the Google Ads UI.
The *Cost* field only determines the spend of the entity specified in the
row. It does not determine the spend of the whole account. You may refer to
this guide <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1704424?hl=en> for
more details.
Also, we would highly appreciate opening your concern on a new thread next
time instead of responding in an old thread. This is for other users to be
able to see new issues easily and for better tracking. Thank you.
Regards,
Dannison

Hey,
I know this is an old question, but I have the same problem now.
"Cost" gives me a number that I can't understand and is not related to real
cost I see in the api.
For example: in the api it says the Cost on 21.4.19 is 94.59$ but in the
report I downloaded using java it says "60320000".
Is it just an error of formatting?
Also, in https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/
reports/criteria-performance-report#cost
they say "Cost" is "The sum of your cost-per-click (CPC) and
cost-per-thousand impressions (CPM) costs during this period."
which sounds a bit different than just "amount spent on that period"
Thank you!

Hi,
You need to use AdWords API reports
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports> to get
the performance statistics associated with your AdWords account. You need
to download a Campaign Performance Report
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report>
to
get statistics aggregated at the campaign level. You need to include "Cost"
in the report query to get the cost
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/campaign-performance-report#cost>
associated with your campaigns in the response. The
DownloadCriteriaReportWithAwql
<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201705/reporting/DownloadCriteriaReportWithAwql.java>
Java
example shows how to download a Criteria Performance Report
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/criteria-performance-report>.
You can use this example as a reference to download different report types.
Example code in other languages is provided here
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/clientlibraries>. The
reporting
guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting>
provides
more details on using AdWords API to download reports.
