Ad Schedule description or Platform description lookup?

[Mike Sullivan]

Is it possible to lookup the text descriptions for the Ad Schedule ID (from CAMPAIGN_AD_SCHEDULE_TARGET_REPORT report) or Platform ID (from CAMPAIGN_PLATFORM_TARGET_REPORT report) numbers using the reportdownload service? The documentation really doesn't provide any clues about where to look.

Hi MIke,

Yes, you can get the respective IDs from the reports you want by using the field 'ID'. The ID represents the Ad Schedule ID in the Campaign Ad Schedule Target Report and it represents the Platform ID in the Campaign Platform Target Report.

As a general rule, the ID field is the ID of the kind of report it is (e.g. the ID is campaign ID in the Campaign Performance Report).

Cheers,

What I am looking for the descriptive text, not the ID. Getting the ID is easy...but where do I find out what platform ID 30000 represents?

Hi Mike,

I must have misread the question. Our Platforms Criteria Code page shows what each platform ID represents. As far as Ad Schedule Id, you could check out this recent AdWords Scripts forum post in which the ID is broken down to find out what it represents.
