 Hi,

 We're upgrading from v201506 of the API, and because of the RMF, we 
 need to be able to display all the newly available metrics columns for the 
 reports that our end users see. Some of the metrics added to the reports 
 since v201506 appear to be documented incorrectly, with the types in the 
 documentation not matching reality. We just want to verify that the 
 documentation is wrong, as opposed to the documentation being correct and 
 eventually the reports changing the types of these fields (i.e. so we 
 don't 
 find our code breaking down the road).  The fields:


1. ActiveViewMeasurability: the documentation claims it's a double, 
but we are getting back percentages ("0.0%"), and the AdWords UI 
 displays a 
percentage for this metric.
2. ActiveViewViewability: same thing as #1.
3. ActiveViewCtr: same thing as #1.
4. AverageCpe: the documentation claims it's a double, but we 
appear to be getting back Money (i.e. micros), and the AdWords UI 
 displays 
this as money.
5. AverageCpv: same thing as #4.


 Thanks in advance,
 Greg

Hello,

I am advocating internally for fixing these fields to just render as 
numbers, because the current formatting doesn't really make sense for data 
that's meant to be parsed by applications.

However, for now, it is safe to assume that these fields are rendering as 
intended. If we do decide to make any changes, we will announce them on our 
blog .

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Mike, AdWords API Team

Re: documentation for types on some reporting fields appears incorrect

2016-03-03 Thread GregT

Hi, Mike.

Have you received any info about these fields?  

Additionally, we have found a couple more:


   1. AverageCost. The documentation says it's of type Money (so should be 
   in micros), but we're getting back text like "3255123 per click". The 
   number part looks fine (i.e. that it could be micros), but obviously "per 
   click" is not.
   2. Interactions.  The documentation says it's a long, but we're getting 
   back text like "35123 clicks".

Thanks again,
Greg

Hello,

I definitely agree that these inconsistencies in the way things actually 
work versus the way they're documented are really frustrating. 
Unfortunately, I don't know which way is truly intended, so I am going to 
get in contact with the engineering team to clarify and hopefully update 
either the report rendering or the documentation so the two match.

Mike, AdWords API Team

documentation for types on some reporting fields appears incorrect

Hi,

We're upgrading from v201506 of the API, and because of the RMF, we need to 
be able to display all the newly available metrics columns for the reports 
that our end users see. Some of the metrics added to the reports since

documentation not matching reality. We just want to verify that the 
documentation is wrong, as opposed to the documentation being correct and

   1. ActiveViewMeasurability: the documentation claims it's a double, but

   2. ActiveViewViewability: same thing as #1.
