Google Ads API ConversionTrackerService - return only single conversion

Question

I am trying to fetch the conversions data from the Google Ads API using the ConversionTrackerService. I have 5 conversions in my Google Ads account (refer to the screenshot) but I am getting only 1 in the response.

Also in the selector object, I have added just 2 fields, Category, and Name, but in the response, I am getting all the fields.

Can someone please guide me on what I am doing wrong?

adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient({...})

adwords_client.SetClientCustomerId('xxx-xxx-xxxx')

def conversion_tracker_service():
    campaign_service = adwords_client.GetService('ConversionTrackerService', version='v201809')

    selector = {
        'fields': ['Category', 'Name'],
        'paging': {
            'startIndex': str(0),
            'numberResults': str(10)
        }
    }

    page = campaign_service.get(selector)

    print(page)

conversion_tracker_service()

Response:

            'appConversionType': 'DOWNLOAD',
            'appPostbackUrl': None
        }
    ]
}

Any updates on this? – Stefanos Christodoulides Jul 20 '20 at 07:05 — Stefanos Christodoulides, Jul 20 '20 at 07:05

I can reproduce ConversionTrackerService always returning all default fields of the ConversionTracker object. Fields that depend on the specific type of the conversion such as WebsitePhoneCallDuration have to be explicitly included in the selector, though. Seems to be undocumented behavior.

As for the missing conversions — anything imported from Google Analytics is currently not being returned by the ConversionTrackerService — confirmed on the Adwords API Forum.

I'm somewhat certain that "Chats from ads" aren't supported (yet) over the API.

That explains 3 out of the missing 4 conversions. The "Calls from ads" conversion should be returned as an Conversion object of type AdCallMetricsConversion, which works for those accounts that I have tested, so I am not sure what the problem with your code is.
