How to retrieve audience (userList) shared by another MCC account

[Lauren Fu]

Hi API team,

May I know how to retrieve audience (userList) shared by another MCC account?

Let's say I have MCC A and shared its audience (userList) with MCC B, which operation is done in Google Ads UI (HC). Then how can I get all available userLists that can be shared with MCC B?

My thought is :

1.Get the audience manager account for MCC B, get MCC A 

2.Get userList for MCC A, get audience list

Questions:

1.Is above process correct? Or after sharing operation completed I get just get userList for MCC B and I will get the full available shared lists?
2.Not sure how to retrieve audience manager account info for particular MCC. Can you help with details?

3.To get userList for certain MCC, the only is to get userList view in report, then use name of userList to call getUserList and get details for each userList?

Thanks

Lauren

Hi Lauren,

Thanks for posting your concern.

To answer the 3 questions, generally, userlist information can only be retrieved at the client account level using the UserListService and the reports such as the user_list, ad group audience view, and campaign audience view reports. Retrieving shared audiences from a MCC perspective is currently not possible.

With this, let me raise a feature request for retrieving shared audiences from a MCC. Also, please note that the feature request that I will raise is subject for review. For the meantime, you can follow our blog to receive updates and new releases.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for quick answer. So you mean now we can only retrieve userList at account-level, regardless the userList is generated directly at account or shared by other account ?

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for your follow up. I work with Ernie and allow me to assist you for now.

The UserListService and the user list report should return the audiences that have been created specifically within the client account.

On the other hand, the campaign audience view and the ad group audience view reports should return the audiences that have been targeted at the campaign or ad group level, respectively. If the shared audiences were used and targeted at either level, then the statistics they generated should reflect in the said reports, however, they would be represented as either a campaign or ad group user list criterion.

That said, there is currently no way via the APIs to directly retrieve shared audiences. For updates regarding this feature, you may keep an eye on our blog.

Best regards,
