apple search ads API showing wrong… | Apple Developer Forums

Hi there

I'm trying to access the apple search ads API. However, the responses I'm getting are quite different to what I see on the web gui.

For example when I run the following in python:

params = {"startTime": '2019-10-01',
          "endTime": '2019-10-01',
          "selector": {
              "orderBy": [{"field": "impressions", "sortOrder": "ASCENDING"}],
              "pagination": {"offset": 0, "limit": 1000}},
          "granularity": 'DAILY',
          "timeZone": "UTC",
          "returnRecordsWithNoMetrics": 'false',
          "returnRowTotals": 'true',
          "returnGrandTotals": 'true'
         }


response = requests.post('https://api.searchads.apple.com/api/v2/reports/campaigns', data=json.dumps(params),
                         headers=headers, cert=(cert, key))


res = response.json()
campaigns = res['data']['reportingDataResponse']['row']


UK_Brand = [campaign for campaign in campaigns if campaign['metadata']['campaignName']=='GB_UK Brand_New']
UK_Brand[0]['total']

I get the following response:

{'impressions': 115,
 'taps': 22,
 'installs': 17,
 'newDownloads': 14,
 'redownloads': 3,
 'latOnInstalls': 0,
 'latOffInstalls': 17,
 'ttr': 0.1913,
 'avgCPA': {'amount': '1.4917', 'currency': 'GBP'},
 'avgCPT': {'amount': '1.1527', 'currency': 'GBP'},
 'localSpend': {'amount': '25.3595', 'currency': 'GBP'},
 'conversionRate': 0.7727}

when I look on the GUI I get:

It's not even that different, but its still just wrong and I have no idea why.

Please help. 🙂
