Output of Audience type for Audience reporting is not returning the actual Audience naming (e.g Travel, Shoppers etc)

[Arnab Gogoi]

Hey Adwords API Team! 

We've been making calls successfully to retrieve the Audiences behind each campaign; however what we're finding, as seen in the screenshot attached, is that the value returning is more of an ID than the actual Audience naming convention associated to that ID that is returned. Is there a way we could adjust our call, or map the ID to the names on our side, to return the actual name of the audience in our reports the way it displays in the AdWords Native Reporting Tool?

Let me know if I can provide any further information to help you come to an answer!

Best,
Arnab

Hi Arnab,

Currently, the Audience Performance Report does not support the exact value that you can see in the Audience column in UI based on your screenshot as its equivalent field which is the Criteria attribute contains criteria prefixes or a string representations in the form of prefix::identifier. However, to match those Audience values in UI to your Audience Performance report, you may check the identifier's value based on its type in this guide.

Feel free to write back for any clarifications.

Thanks and regards,

Luis
