Hi Arieh,

Could you confirm if you are using the test client ID as the clientCustomerId in your configuration file? If not, please use the test client ID instead since campaign information are available only at the client account level. I hope this helps.

Hi Arieh,

I checked your test client account and saw that you have 2 campaigns under that account. There should be no issues if you are using the test client account ID when running the GetCampaigns example. Could you provide any SOAP request and response so I can further investigate? You may send it through Reply privately to author.

Hi Arieh,

My apologies if I did not notice this earlier. The reason you were not able to get the campaigns in your account is due to it being Video Campaigns. Video Campaigns are currently not supported in the AdWords API and are only available through the AdWords UI. To learn more about campaigns and the campaign types supported in the AdWords API, please refer to this guide.

how can I pull data for my trueview ads? do other APIs exist for that ?

Thanks

Hi Arieh,

Forgive me again for not mentioning this earlier, but TrueView information is available through the reports. You can get campaign performance of different campaign types (video, display, search, etc.) through Campaign Performance Report by filtering the field AdvertisingChannelType. In your case, to get the data for video campaigns, you can filter AdvertisingChannelType = VIDEO. For video ads, you may use the Video Performance Report.

Cheers,

Peter
