Generate reports

This guide is for developers who have completed the prerequisite steps and want to use the AdMob API to programmatically get information about their AdMob account, as well as generate network and mediation reports.

Prerequisites

Make a request

The AdMob API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses. However, the [Google API client libraries][client_libraries] provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making authorized requests. The client libraries are available in a number of programming languages; by using them you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.

With OAuth 2.0 credentials created, you're ready to start using the AdMob API. To request access using OAuth 2.0, your application will also need the scope information.

Here's the OAuth 2.0 scope information:

Scope Meaning
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly See all AdMob data. This may include account information, inventory and mediation settings, reports, and other data. This doesn't include sensitive data, such as payments or campaign details.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.report See ad performance and earnings reports. See publisher ID, timezone, and default currency code.

We now present a couple of ways to make your first request:

Java client library

Requests using Java client library

  1. Load the client secrets file and generate authorization credentials.

    The first time you perform this step you'll be asked to accept an authorization prompt in your browser. Before accepting, make sure you're signed in with a Google Account that has access to the AdMob API. Your application will be authorized to access data on behalf of whichever account is currently logged in.

    /**
     * Attempts to load user credentials from the provided client secrets file and persists data to
     * the provided data store.
     *
     * @param clientSecretsFile The path to the file containing client secrets.
     * @param dataStoreFactory he data store to use for caching credential information.
     * @return A {@link Credential} object initialized with user account credentials.
     */
    private static Credential loadUserCredentials(
        String clientSecretsFile, @Nonnull DataStoreFactory dataStoreFactory)
        throws CredentialException, IOException, RuntimeException {
    
      // Load client secrets JSON file.
      GoogleClientSecrets clientSecrets = null;
      try (Reader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get(clientSecretsFile), UTF_8)) {
        clientSecrets = GoogleClientSecrets.load(JSON_FACTORY, reader);
      }
    
      // Set up the authorization code flow.
      GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow =
          new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
                  HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, clientSecrets, ADMOB_READONLY)
              .setDataStoreFactory(dataStoreFactory)
              .build();
    
      // Authorize and persist credential information to the data store.
      return new AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp(flow, new LocalServerReceiver()).authorize("user");
    }
    
    /**
     * Performs all necessary setup steps for running requests against the API.
     *
     * @return An initialized {@link AdMob} service object.
     */
    public static AdMob getInstance() throws Exception {
      Credential credential = authorize();
    
      // Create AdMob client.
      return new AdMob.Builder(HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, credential)
          .setApplicationName("admobapi-java-samples")
          .build();
    }
    
  2. Create an authorized AdMob client.

    // Create an AdMob client instance.
    AdMob admob =
        new AdMob.Builder(HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, credential)
            .setApplicationName("admobapi-java-samples")
            .build();
    
  3. Get account info.

    /* ACCOUNT_NAME should follow the format "accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
     * where "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" is your publisher ID
     * See https://support.google.com/admob/answer/2784578
     * for instructions on how to find your publisher ID.
     */
    private static final String ACCOUNT_NAME = "accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
    
    public static void runExample(AdMob adMob, String accountName) throws Exception {
    
      // Get publisher account.
      PublisherAccount account = adMob.accounts().get(accountName).execute();
    
      // Display publisher account information.
      System.out.printf(
          "Publisher Name: %s, Publisher Id: %s, Currency Code: %s, Reporting Time Zone: %s%n",
          account.getName(),
          account.getPublisherId(),
          account.getCurrencyCode(),
          account.getReportingTimeZone());
    }
    
  4. Generate a network report.

    public static void runExample(
        AdMob adMob, String accountName, GenerateNetworkReportRequest request)
        throws Exception {
    
      // Get network report.
      InputStream response =

              .executeAsInputStream();
    
      List<GenerateNetworkReportResponse> result =
          Arrays.asList(
              new JsonObjectParser(Utils.getDefaultJsonFactory())
                  .parseAndClose(
                      response, StandardCharsets.UTF_8, GenerateNetworkReportResponse[].class));
    
      // Print each record in the response stream.
      for (GenerateNetworkReportResponse record : result) {
        System.out.printf("%s%n", record);
      }
    }
    
    public static GenerateNetworkReportRequest getNetworkReportRequest() {
      /* AdMob API only supports the account default timezone and "America/Los_Angeles", see
       * https://developers.google.com/admob/api/v1/reference/rest/v1/accounts.networkReport/generate
       * for more information.
       */

      return new GenerateNetworkReportRequest().setReportSpec(reportSpec);
    }
    
  5. Generate a mediation report.

PHP client library

Requests using PHP client library

  1. Load the client secrets file and create an authorized AdMob client.

    The first time you perform this step you'll be asked to accept an authorization prompt in your browser. Before accepting, make sure you're signed in with a Google Account that has access to the AdMob API. Your application will be authorized to access data on behalf of whichever account is currently logged in.

    // Create an AdMob Client.
    $client = new Google_Client();
    $client->addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly');
    $client->setApplicationName('AdMob API PHP Quickstart');
    $client->setAccessType('offline');
    
    // Be sure to replace the content of client_secrets.json with your developer
    // credentials.
    $client->setAuthConfig('client_secrets.json');
    
    // Create the URL for the authorization prompt.
    $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
    
    // Once the authorization prompt has been accepted, exchange the
    // authorization code for an access and refresh token.
    $client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
    $client->getAccessToken();
    
  2. Create an AdMob service object.

    // Create an AdMob service object on which to run the requests.
    $service = new Google_Service_AdMob($client);
    
  3. Get account info.

    // Get account.
    $result = $service->accounts->get($accountName);
    
    // Print account information.
    if (!empty($result)) {
        printf(
            "
      Account Name: '%s' \n
      Publisher Id: '%s' \n
      Currency Code: '%s' \n
      Reporting Time Zone: '%s' \n",
            $result->getName(),

Python client library

Requests using Python client library

  1. Load the client secrets file and generate authorization credentials.

    The first time you perform this step you'll be asked to accept an authorization prompt in your browser. Before accepting, make sure you're signed in with a Google Account that has access to the AdMob API. Your application will be authorized to access data on behalf of whichever account is currently logged in.

    PORT = 8080
    REDIRECT_URI = f"http://127.0.0.1:{PORT}"

    # information for this application, including its client_id and client_secret.

curl (command line)

Requests using curl

  1. Load the client secrets file and generate authorization credentials.

    The first time you perform this step you'll be asked to accept an authorization prompt in your browser. Before accepting, make sure you're signed in with a Google Account that has access to the AdMob API. Your application will be authorized to access data on behalf of whichever account is currently logged in.

    For authentication and authorization, we recommend using oauth2l, a simple command-line tool for working with Google OAuth 2.0. Install oauth2l and run the command below, replacing path_to_credentials_json with a path to a credentials.json file that you download when registering your cloud application. For the first run, the command walks you through the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. Subsequent runs refresh the token automatically.

    oauth2l header --json path_to_credentials_json \
            https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly
    
  2. Get account info.

    Get AdMob account information by replacing pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your publisher ID. See the instructions on how to find your publisher ID.

    curl -X GET https://admob.googleapis.com/v1/accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
           -H "$(oauth2l header --json path_to_credentials_json \
              https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly)"
    

    Sample response:

    {
     "account": [
       {
         "publisherId": "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
         "name:": "accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
         "reportingTimeZone": "Europe/Paris",
         "currencyCode": "EUR"
       }
     ]
    }
    
  3. Generate a network report.

    You can generate a network report by calling the networkReport:generate method. Use the publisherId received in the Get account info step as part of the request URI (for example, v1/accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/networkReport:generate).

    Then, use the following command to generate the network report:

    curl -X POST \
          https://admob.googleapis.com/v1/accounts/pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/networkReport:generate \
          -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
          -H "$(oauth2l header --json path_to_credentials_json \
              https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly)" \
          --data @- << EOF
