Expanded Dynamic Search Ads not returning through Google Ads API ad_group_ad query

[Bob Drzewucki]

When I review my Customer's ad performance through the Ads Manager Dashboard I see an expanded dynamic search ad with stats. When I query the ad_group_ad resources through Google Ads API v9 I do not receive any results back for my the expanded dynamic search ads.  

I successfully get responsive search ads and expanded text ads back for my customer when not including ad_group_ad.ad.type in my wheres clause; although no expanded search ads.

When I include  ad_group_ad.ad.type = 'EXPANDED_DYNAMIC_SEARCH_AD' in the wheres clause no results are returned, although they are visible through the Google Ads Manager Dashboard.

What may be causing the expanded search ads from not returning from the ad_group_ad resource?  Is there a bug?
