Learn how Singular pulls advertising cost data from Apple Search Ads (ASA) and displays it in your reports.
Impt: ASA has two solutions advertisers can use: Advanced or Basic (see differences here). Campaigns run on ASA's Basic solution are not supported in their reporting API so Singular will not be able to report advertising costs for those campaigns.
Updated Feb 11, 2022: Added Keyword Match Type dimension.
