Run reports

You can create an Interactive report, run an existing report, and read report results using the Ad Manager API.

If you are unfamiliar with Interactive reporting in Ad Manager, see Create an Interactive report for an overview of how to use Interactive reports in the Ad Manager UI.

For complex reports, you can use the Ad Manager UI to check dimension and metric compatibility. All UI reports can be run with the API.

This guide covers how to initiate an asynchronous run of a Report, poll the returned Operation status, obtain the Result resource name from the completed Operation and fetch a paginated set of result Rows.

Note: For more information on how Ad Manager reporting data is collected, see Counting impressions and clicks and IAB compliance.

Prerequisite

Before continuing, ensure you have access to a Google Ad Manager network. To get access, see Get started with Google Ad Manager.

Run a report

To run a report, you need the report ID. You can obtain a report ID in the Ad Manager UI through the report URL. For example, in the URL https://www.google.com/admanager/234093456#reports/interactive/detail/report_id=4555265029 the report ID is 4555265029.

You can also read reports your user has access to using the networks.reports.list method and get the ID from the resource name:

networks/234093456/reports/4555265029

After you have your report ID, you can initiate an asynchronous run of the report using the networks.reports.run method. This method returns the resource name of a long running Operation. Note that in the following example code, [REPORT] is a placeholder for the report ID and [NETWORK] is a placeholder for your network code. To find your network code, see Find Ad Manager account information.

Poll the report status

If you are using a client library, the previous section's example code polls the status of the report run Operation at the recommended intervals and provides the result when it is complete. For more information on the recommended polling intervals, see networks.reports.run.

If you want more control over polling, make an individual request to retrieve the current status of a running report using the networks.operations.reports.runs.get method:

Java

import com.google.ads.admanager.v1.ReportServiceSettings;
import com.google.api.gax.longrunning.OperationalTimedPollAlgorithm;
import com.google.api.gax.retrying.RetrySettings;
import com.google.api.gax.retrying.TimedRetryAlgorithm;

public class SyncRunReport {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    syncRunReport();
  }

  public static void syncRunReport() throws Exception {

        OperationalTimedPollAlgorithm.create(
            RetrySettings.newBuilder()
                .setInitialRetryDelayDuration(Duration.ofMillis(500))
                .setRetryDelayMultiplier(1.5)
                .setMaxRetryDelayDuration(Duration.ofMillis(5000))
                .setTotalTimeoutDuration(Duration.ofHours(24))
                .build());

  },
  "done": false,
}

Get the result resource name

After the report run Operation is complete, it contains the resource name of the Result.

Java

RunReportResponse response = reportServiceClient.runReportAsync(name).get();
// Result name in the format networks/[NETWORK_CODE]/reports/[REPORT_ID]/results/[RESULT_ID]
String resultName = response.getReportResult();

Python

operation = client.run_report(request=request)
response = operation.result()
# Result name in the format networks/[NETWORK_CODE]/reports/[REPORT_ID]/results/[RESULT_ID]
result_name = response.report_result

.NET

Operation<RunReportResponse, RunReportMetadata> response = reportServiceClient.RunReport(request);
// Poll until the returned long-running operation is complete
Operation<RunReportResponse, RunReportMetadata> completedResponse = response.PollUntilCompleted();
RunReportResponse result = completedResponse.Result;
// Result name in the format networks/[NETWORK_CODE]/reports/[REPORT_ID]/results/[RESULT_ID]
string resultName = result.ReportResult;

    "reportResult": "networks/234093456/reports/4555265029/results/7031632628"
  }
}

Read result rows

The Result resource has a single method, networks.reports.results.fetchRows, to read a paginated list of rows. Each row has a list of dimension values and a list of grouped metric values. Each group contains the metric value and any comparison values or flags. For more information on flags, see Use flags in your interactive report.

For reports with no date range comparisons or splits, there is a single MetricValueGroup with metric values (for example, impressions or clicks) for the entire date range of the report.

The order of dimension and metric values are the same as the order in the ReportDefinition of the Report.

The following is a JSON example of a ReportDefinition and a corresponding fetchRows response:

If you are using a client library, the response has an iterator that lazily requests additional pages. You can also use the pageToken and pageSize parameters. For details on these parameters, see Query parameters. If another page exists, the response contains a nextPageToken field with the token to use in the next request.

Troubleshoot issues with a report

Why isn't my report returned in the API?

Make sure that the Ad Manager user you are authenticating as has access to the Interactive report. You can only read Interactive reports from the Ad Manager API.

Why are report results on my test network empty?

Test networks don't serve ads, so delivery reports don't have data.

Why are the report results on my production network empty?

The user you're authenticating as might not have access to the data you are attempting to report on. Verify that their role permissions and teams are set correctly.

Why don't the lifetime clicks or impressions match my report in the UI?

Lifetime impressions are for the entire life of the line item, regardless of the date range of the report. If a line item is still delivering, the value might change between two runs of the same report.
