Async job - URL comes as null

[ajay_api]

Sometime the async job status returns the URL as null. Could you please help with the same.

JobStatus{“request”:{“params”:{“job_ids”:[906196929771593729]}},“next_cursor”:null,“data”:[{“start_time”:“2016-12-01T08:00:00Z”,“segmentation_type”:“GENDER”,“url”:null,“id_str”:“906196929771593729”,“entity_ids”:null,“end_time”:“2016-12-31T08:00:00Z”,“country”:null,“placement”:“ALL_ON_TWITTER”,“id”:906196929771593729,“expires_at”:null,“account_id”:“assmb”,“status”:“PROCESSING”,“granularity”:“DAY”,“entity”:“ACCOUNT”,“created_at”:“2017-09-08T16:45:59Z”,“platform”:null,“updated_at”:“2017-09-08T16:45:59Z”,“metric_groups”:[“BILLING”]}]}

Thanks Hector.
I missed that mapping earlier.

I tried for LINE_ITEMS as well
params.add(new HttpParameter(“granularity”, “DAY”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“start_time”, “2014-03-11”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“end_time”, “2014-03-18”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“entity”,“LINE_ITEM”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“entity_ids”, “14q4a”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“metric_groups”,“BILLING”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“placement”,“ALL_ON_TWITTER”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“segmentation_type”,“GENDER”));

Got below status

JobStatus{“request”:{“params”:{“job_ids”:[906252524805472256]}},“next_cursor”:null,“data”:[]}

Could you please help with the same.

Same output noticed for the entity PROMOTED_TWEET as well.
params.add(new HttpParameter(“granularity”, “DAY”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“start_time”, “2017-06-15”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“end_time”, “2017-06-30”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“entity”,“PROMOTED_TWEET”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“entity_ids”, “1ebn1e”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“metric_groups”,“BILLING”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“placement”,“ALL_ON_TWITTER”));
params.add(new HttpParameter(“segmentation_type”,“GENDER”));
String baseurl=“https://ads-api.twitter.com/2/stats/jobs/accounts/abcd”;

Hi @ajay_api,

Could you please provide the post request in twurl format?

If not, please provide it in cURL.

Which library are you using?

Thanks

I think API access is not a problem here.
I just tried Segmented Stats for Campaign - Video metrics and I got that , But similar observation again , Its not available for LINTE_ITEM

JobStatus{“request”:{“params”:{“job_ids”:[906307825873305600]}},“next_cursor”:null,“data”:[]}

When I tried with Segmented stats for Engagement Metrics I got it for almost everything , But only for Billing and Video , I am not getting metrics for LINE_ITEM/PROMOTED_TWEET. If you think syntax could be wrong , Please provide twurl example and I can cross check the same.

[ajay_api]

Similar observation noticed for MEDIA related metrics for LINE_ITEMS . Campaign works but LINE_ITEM , I just get blank job status.

JobStatus{“request”:{“params”:{“job_ids”:[906616650652295168]}},“next_cursor”:null,“data”:[]}

[ajay_api]

Not sure if this means if source doesn’t have data for specific IDs / Date Range.

@ajay_api: As @hector_borras suggested, you should provide the POST request using twurl.

In any case, here is an example:

$ twurl -X POST -H ads-api.twitter.com "/2/stats/jobs/accounts/awj1s?granularity=DAY&start_time=2014-03-11&end_time=2014-03-18&entity=LINE_ITEM&entity_ids=14q4a&metric_groups=BILLING&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&segmentation_type=GENDER"

url is not null.
