accessing Doubleclick Campaign Manager data through Google Analytics API

Question

I am attempting to bring Doubleclick Campaign Manager dimensions through the GA API and am getting the following error message - "Restricted dimension(s): (DCM dimensions I entered in the query string) can only be queried under certain conditions. For details see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets.

There is no guidance on that referencing site. Has anyone run into and solved this - or is it an auth restriction (shouldn't be: I have admin rights to the property). thanks

Answer 1

If your property is not Google Analytics 360 you cannot query any of the metrics of the DCM. Take a look again here beside each metrics explanation there is the (Analytics 360 only). That is the only thing I can think if you also have admin rights on the property. Also check if you are authenticated with the correct account in any API or Query Explorer you are using
