Filter metrics

The filter parameter narrows rows by metric range on the server, before the row limit — so a narrow filter returns the narrow set instead of a truncated one. Write metric:min-max tokens separated by spaces; both ends are required and * means an open end (for example roas:1-3 spend:25-*). Only these metrics can be filtered:

Notes

  • A search term is what a customer typed, not a keyword you bid on — different from DRAGON_PPC_TARGETS.
  • ad_type is SP or SB only; Sponsored Display has no search terms. Stats only.
