To give an account the Reporting manager role, use
accounts.update to
set the reportingManager field to true. The Reporting manager role is
equivalent to the Performance and insights role in Merchant Center.
accounts.update replaces the entire Account resource. Use accounts.get to
get the full Account resource, then provide all fields in your
accounts.update request so you don't lose information.
Sample query
The following query retrieves the impressions, clicks, and ctr for all
products in your account during a specific 30-day period. To make the request,
pass the following Merchant Center Query Language statement to the
reports.search method:
Click Run to try the sample in the API Explorer. After you click
Run, update the merchant ID placeholder to your own merchant ID in the
request URL. You can modify the query. The full query must remain on one line to
work with the API explorer.
You can also segment the
metrics in the query for more granular performance reports.
See the Products guide to learn how
to retrieve and filter products with the Reports service.
