Support for v201601 reports in AdWords Scripts

We have added support for AdWords API v201601 reports in AdWords scripts. The major changes in this release are:

• The new PARENTAL_STATUS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is now available. This report lets you view stats and targeting information by the new Parent criterion type.
• CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT now includes stats for Parental status and Custom affinity criteria. These were filtered out in older report versions.
• Some obsolete columns (AvgCostForOfflineInteraction, OfflineInteractionCost, TotalCost) related to phone calls have been removed from various reports.
• Several new fields have been added to existing reports.

The release also introduces some improvements to several reports in existing versions (v201506, v201509).

• The CALL_METRICS_CALL_DETAILS_REPORT now allows you to specify a date range via the DURING clause of your AWQL statement.
• The CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT now returns REMOVED ProductPartition criteria if those criteria have statistics. Previously, REMOVED ProductPartition criteria did not appear in this report.
• The StartTime and EndTime columns on the PLACEHOLDER_FEED_ITEM_REPORT can now be used for filtering in report requests for all versions.

See our release notes for more details.

If you use API versioning in your reports, you need to modify your code to use v201601 as shown below. If you don’t use API versioning, no code changes are required.

var report = AdWordsApp.report(query, {
   apiVersion: 'v201601'
});

If you have any questions about these changes or AdWords scripts in general, you can post them on our developer forum.
