Adgroup status within inactive campaign

[Kitana Bor]

Hi!

I need to filter ad groups by status - display active only. Is it enough to check ad group status or I need to check both - adgroup and campaign statuses? Is there possibility that inactive campaign contains adgroup with status "Active"?

Api version - v201802

Thanks

You need to check CampaignStatus as well.

Pro-tip: also check CampaignServingState, if you want to check for ended campaigns, and campaigns that have not started yet.

Hello Kitana,

Adding to the response. An AdGroup can have and active status even though the campaign is not eligible to serve. The serving of Ads will depend on the campaign status as well. So as mentioned in the above response it is better to check CampaignStaus as well. Let me know if you have any further questions.
