Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

['Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

Hello,

I have looked into this and learned a bit more. While I can't comment on the UI 
or its functionality, the API team has confirmed that this removal was 
intentional and we have no plans to bring it back in the API going forward. I 
apologize for the inconvenience.

Mike, Google Ads API Team

Hello,

To follow up here, I'm investigating the UI version of this report that you 
mentioned, and comparing it to what we have in the API. I will get back to you 
once I have more information I can share.

Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

[GregT]

Thanks for the quick response, Mike.

That's odd reasoning to me.  When someone searches on Google, Google shows 
a specific product from the advertiser in the shopping search results.  I 
don't really see how it's an antipattern to show that that product's ad was 
served for that search query, any more than it would be an antipattern to 
show that a particular keyword's ad was shown in the search results for 
that query (which Google does still support via the API)?  And, as I 
mentioned, you can get this data from the Reports UI in Google Ads still, 
so why not provide it via the API?

Thanks,
Greg

Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

['Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

Hello,

I apologize that the final solution here never made it back into the public 
thread. The removal of link from search term view to criteria is intentional. 
Here's a snippet from the resolution we had in the private portion of this 
thread:
It is an anti-pattern to associate search term directly with a shopping 
product. We are intentionally removing that link.

If you want to report on offer ID independent of the search term it's related 
to, you can use the shopping_performance_view. Specifically, the 
product_item_id field.

I have already raised this as a feature request and received this explanation. 
This one one of a few changes to reporting made in the Google Ads API to remove 
potentially misleading results.

Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

[GregT]

I meant to mention that the same thing happens with trying to ask for 
segments.keyword.ad_group_criterion. When querying for shopping campaigns, 
if you don't ask for it, you can get data back, but if you ask for it, you 
get 0 rows back (just like with the segments.keyword.info.text).

FYI,
Greg

Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

[GregT]

Hi,

We've been upgrading to the Google Ads API as well and have run into the 
same issue. In the AdWords API, running the SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 
and asking for fields like Todd mentioned would return data for shopping 
campaigns, with the KeywordTextMatchingQuery field returning info about the 
product partition - for example, if it was a product partition that was 
advertising a single product (by its id), we'd get something like 
"id==myproductid" for the value in this column.  However, when running it 
as a Google Ads query on the search_term_view and asking for 
segments.keyword.info.text like Todd demonstrated (which appears to be the 
only thing roughly equivalent, as you cannot pull fields from 
ad_group_criterion or anything like that), we instead get 0 rows back for 
shopping campaigns. If we leave out the segments.keyword.info.text segment, 
then we get search data back for shopping campaigns, but without that 
field, it's not possible to match up the search query with specific 
products or product partitions/groups, which is important for us (and which 
we've been doing in the AdWords API for many years without issue).

It's possible to get this information in the Google Ads UI if you go into 
the Reports section where you can build your own report. I can add the ad 
group, search term, keyword/placement, device, cost, clicks, etc. to the 
report, and I get back the same kind of data we get with the 
SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT in the AdWords API, with the 
keyword/placement field showing something like "id==myproductid", so this 
data is still available in your system.  Interestingly, though, if I add 
Keyword ID as an attribute to show in the report in the UI, it will come 
back with no data, like the search_term_view report does.

Is there some way to get per product or per product partition search query 
data in the new API? If so, could you please tell me how, and if not, could 
you *please* add this asap, as that's pretty important functionality to 
have disappear during this forced upgrade?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Todd,

Thank you for reaching out to our team and providing your observation.

Could you provide the complete request and response logs with request ID 
generated on your end for search_term_view with and without 
segments.keyword.info.text?

If you haven't enabled the logging of the API transactions for the specific 
client library that you are using, then please refer to the specific guide

Re: Search Term View for shopping campaigns

[Todd de Quincey]

I think I found the answer at the following link 
. 

It appears that the segments.keyword.info.text field is not available on 
the search_term_view for shopping campaigns. 

Although, the text says that a keyword will not be returned, it should 
probably read, no shopping campaign data will be returned at all if this 
field is selected. Or is this a bug?[image: Screen Shot 2021-09-02 at 
16.21.20.png]

Is there any way around this?
