Expanded Text Ad fields omitted from API response as of yesterday

[Phil Tysoe]

Hi,

In the past 24 hours there appears to have been a change in the API response for ExpandedTextAds.  Details:

API version: v201607

service: AdGroupAdService

predicate: EXPANDED_TEXT_AD

Example returned entry:

(AdGroupAd){

  adGroupId = 12345

  ad = 

    (ExpandedTextAd){

       id = 123

       finalUrls[] = 

          "http://www.example.com/",

       type = "EXPANDED_TEXT_AD"

       Ad.Type = "ExpandedTextAd"

    }

  status = "ENABLED"

  approvalStatus = "FAMILY_SAFE"

  trademarkDisapproved = False

Previously this response contained the following fields regardless of whether they were defined or not:

headlinePart1

headlinePart2

description

As of yesterday these fields are now missing.  Was this deprecation planned?  If so could you please advise me where to look out for these kinds of changes?  I can't see a mention of this in https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/sunset-dates - but maybe I'm just missing it?

Hi Phil,

When working with Expanded Text Ads, I would recommend including the required fields in your selector explicitly. If that doesn't help, please feel free to write back.
