Removal of AdGroupAd.approvalStatus from 2017.05

[suvodhoy sinha]

Hi,

I was going through the latest api migration guide and it seems "approvalStatus" was removed. We now have to fetch "policySummary" to get the combinedApprovalStatus. This isnt a problem as long as we are able to filter based on the status like before. But it seems with the new changes we might have to fetch all the ads and filter at our end. Is this expected or am I missing something? Kindly assist.

Hi Suvodhoy,

Looks like you might be able to filter on CombinedApprovalStatus in [APPROVED, DISAPPROVED] etc. I'm checking with the team to confirm if this is as designed, or is it a case of missing documentation. I'll update this thread once I hear from them.

Cheers

Hi Anash,

Thanks for the quick revert. I took the liberty of trying out the filter on CombinedApprovalStatus and as you correctly pointed out it did work. I think its missing in the documentation.
