Re: API for Call Metrics
Hi Reed, Regarding type #1, that information is available at all levels (Campaign, Ad Group, Ad, Keyword) and you can rely on it. Regarding type #2, the exiting phone/call columns we expose in the API (both in the Stats object and the reports) are no longer being populated. In the next version of the API we plan to expose additional columns that will contain data that matches the UI. I don't have any updates regarding #3.

Re: API for Call Metrics
I've been doing some more experimenting with pulling call stat data. It turns out that I can get the detailed level stat data, not just the campaign level data, from a Keyword Performance Report. All of the initial documentation, and the information given at the developers meetings in September, only talked about getting this data at the campaign level. Has there been a change? If I go forward with using the keyword level data (no predicates needed in the report definition, just include the click type column and only look at the data for "Phone Calls")? That would be nice, since I have to process the keyword level data anyway, and it gives me the numbers with a lot more granularity. Is there a gotcha that I'm missing? Note that this still doesn't solve the problem discussed in point #2 above on the discrepancy between API and UI data. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: API for Call Metrics
Any update on getting the campaign-level call stats (type #2 in the previous posting) to match between the UI and the API reports? thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: API for Call Metrics
Hi Mark, Ask and you shall receive! I've been following up with Reed offline regarding call-metric data in the API. There are three different types: 1) Campaign-level click-to-call stats: Segment by Click type in the UI or create a predicate for ClickType EQUALS CALLS in the API. This is working properly. 2) Campaign-level stats on calls that did not originate from clicks: Add the field Phone calls in the UI or the field NumCalls in the API. There is currently an issue where the API and UI stats are not matching. 3) Per-call stats: Dimensions -> Call details in the UI. This report doesn't exist in the API..

Thanks Reed. Maybe Eric Koleda from the AdWords API Team can comment?

Re: API for Call Metrics
Call Metrics data was part of the advertised featureset for v201109 campaign performance report. If you look in the report definition, the columns are there, although not exactly the same as in the existing UI reports. Numcalls, etc, are tehre, and duration, but in the UI reports you can get one line per call that gives you the areacode of the call. That doesn't appear to be in the API version. Right now the bigger problem is that it doesn't seem to work, and there are some Google API people looking into it. To get tthe call data you are supposed to filter on the click type so that only call clicks are included, but doing so causes an report definition error - more details in a previous posting I made a few days ago. Once they get it fixed I'm sure that the details on how we are supposed to use it will be posted here. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
