Hi guys!
Is there any way to pull Preview for Ads with type 'Responsive ad'?
Like ImageAdUrl for 'Image ad' Ad Type?
Any in way to get 'Responsive ad' preview in Ad Performance Report?
Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, ad preview is not available via the API. Also, there is no such field in Ad Performance Report specifically for responsive ads. Please follow our blog for any future updates regarding this feature.

Thanks for information, Vishal!

Another question:
Is there any way to pull Preview for Ads with type 'Display ad' from API? Any correspondent field to get Display Ad preview in Ad Performance Report?

Thanks much in advance!

Hi,

All fields available in Ad Performance Report are listed here. Unfortunately, there's no such field available for Display Ads.

Hi there! I hope this old thread is still monitored cause I have a question.
With the new version of API 201806 we can get next fields in Ads report:
      'EnhancedDisplayCreativeLogoImageMediaId',
      'EnhancedDisplayCreativeMarketingImageMediaId',
      'EnhancedDisplayCreativeLandscapeLogoImageMediaId',
      'EnhancedDisplayCreativeMarketingImageSquareMediaId',
My understanding is that I can use these fields to get a preview of my ResponsiveDisplayAd.
Mentioned fields return the values of type Long like '4165810229'.
Is there an algorithm for this Ids to be 'translated' in URLs for preview?
Thanks!
Oksana

Hello Oksana,

I'm afraid, through the API, it is currently not possible to use these fields to create a logic for preview tool. Please keep an eye on our blog for more updates. 

Thanks,

Hello Oksana, 

The Ad previews is currently not supported through the API. As an alternative to reports, you may use the AdGroupAdService.get() to get the Asset Link for asset data you're looking to get. Please check this guide for more information. 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Bharani, AdWords API Team

Hi google Ads support team. 

We use AdGroupAdService service to get some Responsive Ads previews. But it doesn't return any data with 
<v20:predicates>
<v20:field>AdType</v20:field>
<v20:operator>EQUALS</v20:operator>
<v20:values>RESPONSIVE_DISPLAY_AD</v20:values>
</v20:predicates>
in my case - while the account has responsive Display Ads.

Example request:
   <soapenv:Header>
      <v20:RequestHeader>
         <v20:clientCustomerId><my_secret-id></v20:clientCustomerId>
         <v20:developerToken><my_secret-token></v20:developerToken>
      </v20:RequestHeader>
   </soapenv:Header>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <v20:get>
         <v20:serviceSelector>
            <v20:fields>Id</v20:fields>
            <v20:fields>AdType</v20:fields>
            <v20:fields>ImageAdUrl</v20:fields>
      <v20:predicates>
<v20:field>AdType</v20:field>
<v20:operator>EQUALS</v20:operator>
        <v20:values>RESPONSIVE_DISPLAY_AD</v20:values>
 </v20:predicates>
                       <v20:paging>
<v20:startIndex>0</v20:startIndex>
<v20:numberResults>10000</v20:numberResults>
</v20:paging>
       </v20:serviceSelector>
      </v20:get>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Response:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><ResponseHeader xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809"><requestId><my_secret_id></requestId><serviceName>AdGroupAdService</serviceName><methodName>get</methodName><operations>1</operations><responseTime>217</responseTime></ResponseHeader></soap:Header><soap:Body><getResponse xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809"><rval><totalNumEntries>0</totalNumEntries><Page.Type>AdGroupAdPage</Page.Type></rval></getResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

Removing predicate I see 1226 ads including ones with MULTI_ASSET_RESPONSIVE_DISPLAY_AD type.

I can provide account details in private message. 

Basically my question is if there probably is a better way to get Responsive Ads previews from API. Or if not I need assistance on my request not returning responsive display ads data.
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no ad preview feature in the API like you see in the Google Ads UI. However, I can take a look at your account and see why you are not getting your ads returned. Please reply privately to author your CID and some ad group / ad IDs that are missing from the API call.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, I had messaged you back privately:
RESPONSIVE_DISPLAY_AD maps to the responsive ads in the UI. I took a look at your account and see no ads that match this type. The type MULTI_ASSET_RESPONSIVE_DISPLAY_AD maps to responsive display ads in the UI which I see you have 279 paused and enabled in your account.
