Adwords API Work on Video Campaigns?

[innored developer]

Can we load the Video Campaigns by using Adwords API?

If it's still in beta, when can we possibly use the final version?

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

The AdWords API does not currently support AdWords for Video campaigns. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA at this point for when or if support will be added.

Thanks,

Josh, AdWords API Team

No updates on this, right?

In searching for this functionality (ability to pull video campaign data through the api), people have been asking if this is ready since 2012.
I see a reference saying it is not available as of 2008.

Since it has been 7 years, maybe this can get moved up in priority?

If I am back here in 2022 with this functionality still "coming soon", i am going back to "placing small ads in newspapers around the country"!

Hello Eric,

Unfortunately no, this is still not supported. Please note we never announced this functionality to be "coming soon".

that must be wishful thinking on my part. Thanks for the update.

So whats the status one year later? I assume nothings changed? 

So just to clarify, it is not possible to pause/resume an video campaign thru the API at the moment?

Hi Filip,

As far as I know it's not possible to pause/resume a video campaign through the API currently, but the video campaign statistics have in fact (finally) been added to the reporting API (after several years of users asking).

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/video-performance-report

They've also added Video views, view rate, Cost per view (avgCPV) and Video played to 100/75/50/25% metrics to most of the other Reports, such as the Campaign performance report. 
Video campaigns are now also returned in those reports and two network types have been added: 

YOUTUBE_SEARCH	YouTube Search
YOUTUBE_WATCH	YouTube Videos

Best,
Tiana
