How should we work with Smart Campaign via API (at screenshot)?
We get AdvertisingChannelType of them as "Unknown". Is it correct?
Any other campaigns can have "Unknown" type?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can get Smart campaigns by using the "UNKNOWN" advertisingChannelType. The "UNKNOWN" type could also refer to other types of campaigns as it is used for campaigns that are not yet fully support by the API. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,
Danica, Google Ads API Team

Hello,

You can refer to this guide on Smart Display Campaigns. To get statistics on these campaigns, you may refer to thee Reporting section of the guide. For code samples on basic operations that can be done on campaigns, you can refer here

I see in this docs that "Set the advertisingChannelType to DISPLAY". So, Smart Campaign should have advertisingChannelType "DISPLAY"? But why we get "UNKNOWN" in advertisingChannelType when get info about thus campaign?

Hello,

Apologies for the confusion, let me clarify a couple things. Smart Campaigns are different from Smart Display Campaigns. Smart Campaigns will return with a advertisingChannelType "UNKNOWN" and Smart Display Campaigns will return with a advertisingChannelType "DISPLAY". It appears that support for reporting on Smart Campaigns specifically is not yet available via API. I will raise a feature request for this on your behalf.

How can I find out when you will start support Smart Campaign through API?
