Getting date associated with metrics for Promoted Tweets

[HarrisonVanOort]

Using the twitter-python-ads-sdk, could somebody please explain to me how I can retrieve the dates associated with the metrics returned by the following?

from twitter_ads.creative import PromotedTweet
from twitter_ads.enum import METRIC_GROUP
from twitter_ads.client import Client

client = Client(...)

account = client.accounts('18ce54o6agw')
ids = ['29we9b']
metric_groups = [METRIC_GROUP.ENGAGEMENT]

PromotedTweet.all_stats(account, ids, metric_groups)

This returns a list of metrics, but how can I tell which day/timeframe they’re associated with?

[{'id': '29we9b',
  'id_data': [{'segment': None,
    'metrics': {'impressions': [7,
      14,
      10,
      8,
      6,
      7,
      5],
      ...
     'card_engagements': None,
     'poll_card_vote': None,
     'replies': None,
     'url_clicks': None,
     'carousel_swipes': None}}]}]

What I’m looking to do is get promoted tweet engagement and billing data by day.

Hi,

It’s a little bit tricky the first time.

If your granularity is DAY

You now the START_DATE, and you know END_DATE

First element of array impressions is for START_DATE, second element is START_DATE+1DAY,…

Same for granularity HOUR.

Thanks @hector_borras. How do I set the granularity to ‘DAY’ given my example above?

PromotedTweet.all_stats(account, ids, metric_groups)

Hi

I’m not a python expert, and i don’t use python lib (I’m the maintainer of the PHP SDK)

But i think you can do something like this:

from twitter_ads.enum import METRIC_GROUP , GRANULARITY

PromotedTweet.all_stats(account, ids, metric_groups, granularity=GRANULARITY.DAY)

Thanks, @hector_borras!

Also, by default, the Python SDK looks at now - 604800 seconds and now as the date range (link).
