    Hello,
     
    I have a daily job using the Google Python Adsense API client calling report_service:
     
    result = report_service.reports().generate(
    startDate=eventStart, endDate=eventEnd,
    filter=['AD_CLIENT_ID==' + ad_client_id],
    metric=['EARNINGS', 'CLICKS', 'AD_REQUESTS', 'MATCHED_AD_REQUESTS', 'PAGE_VIEWS', 'INDIVIDUAL_AD_IMPRESSIONS'],
    dimension=['DATE', 'AD_CLIENT_ID','DOMAIN_NAME'], #removing DOMAIN_NAME for supplemental report
    sort=['+DATE']).execute()
     
    In the past week, we have been experiencing corrupt data. Some rows are returning garbled data, some are merely chopping the last column 'INDIVIDUAL_AD_IMPRESSIONS'.
     
    We run the job everday at 8AM PST. When we rerun the job at 9AM PST, it appears fine.
     
    Is there any reason for the API to be acting strangely at this time of day?
    Should we be upgrading to the latest release?
     
    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
     
    We don't actually have that information, as the channels are not associated
    with the ad unit itself, but rather with the generated ad code, which is a
    stateless process. This means we don't really store the knowledge of this
    ad-hoc association on our end; rather we just record impression-time stats
    that can be retrieved through reporting.
     
    If you don't want to store this locally, you can always look into and parse
    the generated ad code, which I assume you're storing already?
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio

    Your last sentence was the hint I needed; thank you very much.

    Hi there,
     
    Yes, mostly because the FAQ needs some updating, but there are still some
    valid sections which we're linking to, elsewhere in the docs, hence why we
    didn't just remove it altogether.
     
    I'll be taking a look through it, cleaning it up, and making it available
    in the main docs again.
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio

    Hi there,
     
    This concept does indeed no longer exist in the new signup flow, since
    hosts no longer need to collect information about the user and just get it
    atomically upon completion of the signup process.
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio
