How to Import Data from the Bing Ads Source
To begin importing data from Bing Ads, start by making a copy of one of the following templates:
Fill in the required information:
- Start Date
- Account ID
- Customer ID
- Fields
- Aggregation
- Report Timezone
- Destination Dataset ID (for Google BigQuery template)
- Destination Location (for Google BigQuery template)
The import will begin from the selected Start Date.
⚠️ Note: Using a long date range may cause the import to fail due to the high volume of data.
Log in to your Bing Ads account at https://ads.microsoft.com/.
Your Account ID and Customer ID can be found in the account URL.
Copy and paste both values into the template.
Go to the Fields tab and check the boxes next to the fields you want to include.
Select the Report Aggregation value.
Refer to the Microsoft Ads documentation to learn more.
Choose the Report Time Zone to define the timezone for the reporting date range.
