We are making two changes related to how various conversion-related stats are retrieved in AdWords Scripts.
New methods for Conversion stats
We are reintroducing two methods in the AdWordsApp.Statsand MccApp.ManagedAccountStatsclasses to work with Conversions.
- getConversions() returns the number of conversions in your account.
- getConversionRate() returns the rate of conversions in your account.
Note: Since Conversions is a stat of type Double, the equality operators (= and !=) won’t work with these new methods when using the withCondition filters or comparing values in code. Instead, you need to use comparison operators like < and >or round Conversions off to an Integer.
Sunsetting ConvertedClicks
As part of sunsetting Converted clicks in AdWords, we are deprecating the getConvertedClicks()and getClickConversionRate()methods in the AdWordsApp.Statsand MccApp.ManagedAccountStatsclasses. These methods will be sunset on February 21, 2017.
If your scripts use these methods, update them to use the new Conversion stats methods if applicable before February 21, 2017 to ensure they continue to work.
If you have any questions about these changes please reply to this email or post them on our developer forum and we'll be glad to help you.
