Retrieve an Interest & Remarketing criterion through AdGroupCriterionService

[SC]

Hi,

One of the rows returned from my AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT has a KeywordId/CriterionId (123353796049), which is linked to an Interest & Remarketing criterion. I found this from Adwords UI, under the Display Network/Interests & Remarketing tab.

I need to get the details/type of the criterion for the criterionId through an Adwords API, so I am calling the AdGroupCriterionService with the predicates of AdGroupId and Id (values are from AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT). To my surprise it returns nothing. I have no problem of retrieving other criterion type (Keyword) with the same code.

Is it possible to get the AdGroupCriterion for an Interest & Remarketing criterion, or i did something wrong?

Thanks.

Hello,

It may be that the criterion identified by that ID is from a CampaignCriterion instead of an AdGroupCriterion. In this case, you can retrieve the criterion using CampaignCriterionService.

Umesh,

Thanks for reply. 

I tried using CampaignCriterionService. It does not return the criterion for the criterion id 123353796049 either.

The CampaignId returned from the Ad Performance report is 282343249, and the AdGroupIdId is 16945431769.

Hello,

The CriterionID 123353796049 is of type Custom Affinity Audience. The Custom Affinity criteria is not supported by the API and you won't be able to retrieve it via the AdGroupCriterionService. It will only show up in the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.
