How to distinguish which type is app user and which type is website visitor ?

[qa cddpqa]

As shown in the segmented audience list in Figure 1, we know from the API documentation that the user list query is used. However, the fields returned by the query are shown in Figure 2. How can developers distinguish which type is app user and which type is website visitor ?

Hi,

Welcome to the Google Ads API forum channel.

In the Google Ads API perspective, visitors to your website (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/remarketing/audience-types/website-visitors) type of userlists are usually created with a RuleBasedUserListInfo (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v14/RuleBasedUserListInfo) object. To retrieve them via the GAQL, you can include a condition in your query wherein the user_list's (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v14/user_list) user_list.type = RULE_BASED.

Regarding app users, I'm afraid that this is currently not supported yet in the API. There's already an existing feature request on this, however, we're unable to provide a timeline on when it will be available. You may follow our blog (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/search/label/google_ads_api) and release notes (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/release-notes) for the latest updates in the API.

I hope this helps.
