campaign groups - how to get them and relate to campaigns in google ads api

[Tom Nahum]

hello,

how can i get via google ads api the campaign group id (campaignGroupId) of my campaigns?

or the other way around - get the campaigns who are included in campaign groups?

i can get it in adwords api -  but i need to migrate to google ads api.

thanks

Hello Tom,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

As per this Migrating Report Fields guide, please note that the campaignGroupId is already deprecated in the Google Ads API.

As an aside, I can raise a feature request for this; however, could you share with us your use case as to why you would need this campaignGroupId in the Google Ads API?

thank you mark for the quick reply.

as per your question to why i need this campaignGroupId in Google Ads API:

well, first of all, the campaign group feature is available in google ads UI - so why not provide in api? :)

second - in my case i am pulling information about my campaigns to run some logic on.

those campaigns might belong to a certain campaign group.

each campaign group has some benchmark parameters for running my business logic.

so instead of storing benchmarks per campaign - i store them by campaign group.

I than intersect the campaign with the correct campaign group id,  collect the correct benchmarks for my campaign, and i can run my logic.

later on i would like to aggregate those logic results back to campaign group level and recalculate.

I would really like to have it in google ads, it will make this mission a lot easier 

and also - adwords api will not be available in about a year or so, and i will lose all ability to continue working with campaign groups.

Thank you,

Tom

thank you Peter.

i really wish if this feature could get some priority as all i request is just somehow to attach a campaign group to the campaign it includes.

Hi Tom,

I work with Peter and let me provide support to your concern.

thanks

is there any substitution for campaign groups?

will this feature actually sunset in about a year unless you will revive it in google ads?

Hi Tom,

If you want to get this information, then the only workaround that we can suggest is via UI. If you want to know more information on how to get this information via UI, then I would suggest reaching out to the product via this link.

As for this question, I am afraid our team doesn't have access to the plan and timeline for specific feature. With this, I highly recommend to keep an eye on our blog as we will post there any relevant updates about this.
