Adsense new option to set timezone affecting this plugin

Well, there is no documentation on that, but i remember a recent statement (i don’t know if it is from a googler or not) on a forum, saying that time zones settings don’t affect the API. The idea is that my plugin makes requests for an entire day, so the results will not be affected by time zones, because the total amount on an entire day is calculated according to account’s time zone settings.

Your Google account also uses cache for the data displayed, that’s why there are some small differences between what the plugin reports and what a google account reports, If I’m wrong please correct me!

Update: you should also read this: https://adsense.blogspot.ro/2013/07/get-most-up-to-date-data-on-your.html

This change recently took place with Adsense. I think your plugin is still grabbing 24 hours of data but it is no longer the same 24 hour period, there is now overlap. I am going to try to simply change my new time setting back to the default setting on Adsense (pacific time) and wait a few days to see if the daily totals match up again. Thanks for looking at it.

Hi,

You can use the useTimeZoneReporting parameter to control whether the reports are generated in the account’s local timezone or PST/PDT.

Docs and API explorer here:
https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/v1.3/reference/reports/generate

deconf I’d recommend you to activate it or implement something to let users choose. Remember to update your plugin to v1.3 of the API.

There’s also an API forum if you have any questions:

Cheers!
