THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD Image Preview - how to get from API?

[Oksana Sulyma]

Hi guys!





I'm looking for an opportunity to pull Image Previews for Ads of type THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD from Ads API or in Reports.




I see ImageAdUrl == '--' in Adwords Performance Report for such ads.


And I was wondering if there exists/planned some way to pull the previews from https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/AdGroupAdService, like logoImage for ResponsiveDisplayAd?





Thanks in advance for any info on this!

Hello Oksana,

Could you please share the report definition you are trying and the account CID for which you are trying to fetch the report? Unfortunately AdsPreview is not available via AdWords API. You could use reply privately to the author option while sharing the details requested.

Hello Sai Teja,

I'm looking for kind of theoretic answer. Our service works with the multiple Ads accounts.

Could you advice, if there is any field I can use to get Image preview for THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD in Ads Performance Report?


I'll send you an example of Account CID and report definition in private reply. Thanks!


[Oksana Sulyma]

Copy-pasting here an answer from private messaging in case it could be helpful for someone:

"Hello

In general AdsPreview is not available via AdWords API. If you are seeing the '--'s in the ImageAdURL field then that particular Ad might not be a ImageAd, I took a look at the report shared and the Ads are not ImageAds. Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team"

Sai Teja (or another API Team member), it is still not clear to me.

I'm speaking of THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD ads. Are you saying that for this Ad Type there is no opportunity to pull Ad Image Preview ? No way to get it from API reports ? Same as no way to pull from API endpoint (for Responsive ads I can pull Image preview). Are there any plans on support for THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD previews via API?




Looking forward for public answer here.


Thanks so much!

Oksana

Hi there,

I'm still waiting for an answer to my questions above:

I'm speaking of THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD ads. Are you saying that for this Ad Type there is no opportunity to pull Ad Image Preview ? No way to get it from API reports, is this correct ? Same as no way to pull from API endpoint (for Responsive ads I can pull Image preview). Are there any plans on support for THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD previews via API?




It would be so great to have confirmation on this from official source! Please let me know if I need to rephrase my questions for best understanding.


Thanks!

Hello Oksana,

Apologies for the delayed response, we are checking with the team internally. Via API reports it is not possible to fetch the ImageAdUrl for THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD. You may try using the sourceUrl field from the API endpoint. Please give it a try and let me know if there are any issues.

Hello Oksana,

Below is the sample request including the SourceUrl and filtering the THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD's so that the results will contains only those Ads and you still need to point the URL: https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809/AdGroupAdService.

Thanks Sai Teja! I've sent you my call details privately because I still get empty result while I expected to see some data..

[googleadsapi...@google.com]

Hi Oksana,

Thanks for this information, and apologies for the back-and-forth over this issue! Can I ask if you're using one of the client libraries to make your requests? If so, which one?

I just attempted this same request and am also seeing that for Third party ads data is simply not returned. I'm coordinating with my team to see if this is intended behavior or a bug in our system. If intended I'll try to figure out if there's another way to access data for Third party ads through the API, if it's a bug I expect we'll publish a change that fixes it.

I'll keep you posted on the information I'm able to retrieve. 

Thank you,

Ben Karl, AdWords API Team

Hello Ben Karl, thanks so much for your answer!

We are not using client libraries. We just use php 'curl' functions for API calls.

Looking forward for any updates on this issue.

Thanks!

Hi Oksana,

Just following up to let you know that I'm continuing to dig into the issue. I've filed a bug with our engineering team that will hopefully lead us to some conclusion. I'll follow up with you as soon as I have more information.

Thanks in advance for your patience, and again I apologize for the time it's taken thus far to get this resolved.

Best,

Ben Karl, AdWords API Team

Hello Folks!

Just wanted to check in on this item on behalf of our mutual clients - any thoughts as to when we might be able to access that third party preview?

Also to context, we're currently using the Google Adwords API and have not yet migrated to the Google Ads API, in the event that this has an impact on the solution path.

Thanks so much in advance for your assistance!

Hi Oksana,

As per the latest updates from our team, it looks like the THIRD_PARTY_AD and THIRD_PARTY_REDIRECT_AD that were referenced are for AdX accounts which have been deprecated for some time. Also, the THIRD_PARTY_AD is currently not supported in Web API. Let us know if you have any additional concerns and we will be happy to assist you.
