ad - Preview and CreativeType

[tsmt...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Is it possible to see the preview field through report? When I open
the XML file, all of my ad's on "preview" field return: "Não
disponível" (the message appears in Portuguese)

Another question:

How can I know if an ad is JPG or SWF if both returns "image" on
creativeType field

Regards,
Thiago.

Hi Thiago,

The ad preview column is only available in HTML reports ( see
https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=tltp&answer=48658
).

Have you tried parsing the ImageHostingKey (Image URL) column to
determine the file extenseion?

Hi Koleda!

Thanks for reply!

I try to return the ImageHostingKey, but this field always return
https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/pagead/imgad?id=XXXXXXX where
XXXXXXXX is a lot of characters without the extension, so i can't know
if the ad is an swf or jpg.

There is any tip for me?

Regards,
Thiago.

Hi Thiago,

Perhaps you can include the file type in the image name, so it can be
returned in the ImageAdName column. If this is not possible then the
only way to get this information would be to retrieve the Image Ad and
read the type. In v13 this can be found in the Image.type field:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/Image.html. In
v2009 this is in the Image.mimeType field:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/AdGroupAdService.Image.html#mimeType.
