I upload an HTML5 display ad in Google Ads UI, and then use the AdGroupAdService of Google Ads API to get the ad info. The response is as follow:
{
   
"ad": {
       
"added_by_google_ads": false,
       
"display_url": "uicreate.com",
       
"final_urls": [
           
"https://www.UICreate.com"
       
],
       
"id": "374853796736",
       
"name": "ad_test731.zip",
       
"resource_name": "customers/3664026384/ads/374853796736",
       
"type": "HTML5_UPLOAD_AD"
   
},
   
"ad_account_id": "3664026384",
   
"ad_group": "customers/3664026384/adGroups/77118874019",
   
"policy_summary": {
       
"review_status": "REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS"
   
},
   
"resource_name": "customers/3664026384/adGroupAds/77118874019~374853796736",
   
"status": "PAUSED"
}
The display_upload_ad field of ad is missing, however the doc says this field is selectable.

Hello Jiangang,

Could you please confirm whether you are selecting any of the display_upload_ad fields like ad_group_ad.ad.display_upload_ad.display_upload_product_type in your request? If yes please share the query you are using and the client customer id using reply privately to the author option.

Hello Jiangang,

I got the query, there is no problem with the query.

Could you please confirm whether you have created that particulate Ad using DisplayUploadAdInfo? If not, that could be the reason for not showing in the result.

Hello,

I have tried creating the ad of HTML5_UPLOAD_AD type both through Google Ads API and Google Ads UI.
It turns out that the display_upload_ad field only appears in the ads that created through Google Ads API,
and it will disappear in the ads that created or modified through Google Ads UI.
As a result, there is an inconsistence between Google Ads API and Google Ads UI.

Hello,

Could you please share one ad id for each of such Ads so that I can compare and see what differences they have. Also please share the code snippet or request log that is used to upload HTML5_UPLOAD_AD via API to investigate further.
