Shared Ads and Reporting API support

[Stephen Yeargin]

So I'm looking through the forum and see that there are currently no plans to support Shared Ads via the API (ref: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/0A94LulOXAc/zMlNpfz07zgJ - 1/2/2015).

Does this also mean that shared ad performance is not returned via the Reporting API? I can see traffic in the native interface for these ads that are part of a shared ad group, but none of the data is making it through on a AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. We have a customer that makes heavy use of them, but right now they are unable to use our reporting tools.

Hello Stephen,

That is correct. Ads that can't be manipulated via the API are also excluded from reports run via the API. So ads from your Shared Library will be excluded from reporting.
