Metrics

This article identifies the campaign performance metrics available through the DSP Reporting API, describes how they are measured or calculated, and explains how you can use the metric type ID attribute to select and filter report data.

Overview

A metric is quantitative measurement of data: a number (a sum, average, or ratio) that measures the performance of a line or campaign during the reporting period. For example, the Impressions metric tracks the total number of impressions served.

Campaign performance metrics include both standard metrics and calculated (or derived) metrics.

  • Standard metrics represent measurements of ad impression event data and campaign values that are stored in the fact table.

  • Calculated metrics are derived from the combination of two or more metrics.

Metric Types

Every campaign performance metric is identified by a unique metric type ID. You can specify metric type IDs in request payloads to select report data or filter grouped data based on metric values:

  • Metric type IDs specified in the metricTypeIds array determine the metrics returned in a report. To learn more, check out Report Option Object.

  • Metric type IDs, metrics values, and comparison operators specified in the having object define metric-value filters to select ad impression event data. To learn more, check out Having Object.

The table lists DSP Reporting API metrics by metric type ID, provides the formula for calculated metrics, and indicates whether the metric type is available to clients with seat or GAN access.
