Metric_group: VIDEO video_mrc_views missing in the metrics data

[ling_amobee]

Is video_mrc_views still supported in VIDEO metrics group?
According to https://dev.twitter.com/ads/analytics/metrics-by-objective
video_mrc_views is required to calculate Video Rate and Cost Per View for VIDEO_VIEWS_PREROLL objective.

Here is my request query:
https://ads-api.twitter.com/1/stats/jobs/accounts/?start_time=2016-09-23&end_time=2016-09-29&granularity=DAY&entity=LINE_ITEM&entity_ids=,,,****&placement=ALL_ON_TWITTER&metric_groups=ENGAGEMENT,BILLING,VIDEO

The LINE_ITEM entity has objective of VIDEO_VIEWS_PREROLL.

Here is the partial result without ids.

Hi,

The video metrics definitions changed a bit as announced in https://dev.twitter.com/ads/overview/recent-changes for May 13th, 2016 update. Thanks for pointing out this issue to us.

Basically you can think that it split into two where now video_total_views could be considered to align with MRC whereas our original reporting style is maintained in a new metric.

Thanks,

John
