I've been tasked to extract the period comparison data from Google Ads. At the moment a user can select a comparison date period in the ads.google.com UI, to see percentage growth of their ads, from one period to another.

I'd like to extract these comparison percentages from their API.

Does anyone know if this is even possible, or do I have to calculate them myself?

I've read through the API docs, but I'm afraid I missed something.

    Nope. Unfortunately it's not possible. I had to do it myself. Which of course starts you off on your time series storage journey. Let me know if you need any pointers.

      Thanks for your comment. I ended up make 2 seperate api calls, 1 for each time period. I then did a simple percentage calculation from one number to another. What do you mean with time series storage?
