Hi the Google Ads API team,

When we download the ad group ad report, Smart campaigns are left out, is this an expected behaviour?

 Hi Marie,

Thanks for reaching out. With regards to your concern,  you can query all of that info from the  ad group ad report and you can pull fields from the campaign reports in the "attributed resources”, Please see the below query to get the data  what you are looking for.

Hi Nirmitabahen,

It seems that your example query was left out in your reply unfortunately. 

However these are the queries we use:
SELECT campaign.name, campaign.advertising_channel_type, campaign.advertising_channel_sub_type, metrics.impressions, segments.date FROM campaign WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2020-09-15' AND '2020-09-20'
In the response Smart Campaigns are included.

But when we use this query:
SELECT campaign.name, campaign.advertising_channel_type, campaign.advertising_channel_sub_type, metrics.impressions, segments.date FROM ad_group_ad WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2020-09-15' AND '2020-09-20'
all the Smart Campaigns are missing in the response?

Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Hi Maria,

Thanks for reaching out. With regards to your concern, can you please provide screenshot of the UI smart campaign along with customer id so that i can further investigate the issue. Can you please confirm which version you are using in the Google Ads API?

Hi there,

I'm seeing the same issue for one of our accounts. Smart campaigns aren't coming through the API when pulling ad group performance reports and I would like to know if this is expected behavior.

We are still using the Adwords API version v201809.

Thanks,
Emily

Hi Emily,

You should be able to see these ad groups in AdWords API. However, their AdGroupType values will come back as null. Can you share your report queries through reply privately to author so I can take a closer look?

Thanks,

Hi Anthony,

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately it looks like I don't have permission to reply to the author. Is there another way I can contact you and share our query information?

Thanks,
