Doubt about campaign status

[Fede Serbin]

Hi everybody!

I have an app where I want to store Googla campaigns and their status. I see that the campaigns status of the API are these: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.CampaignStatus

So the status are ENABLED, UNKNOWN, PAUSED and REMOVED.

But here, I see there are different states: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1722131?hl=en

Why are they different? Can I know using the API if a campaign has an ENDED status for example?

Thank you!

Hi Fede,

Thank you for reaching support. The campaign status from the shared link indicates the status of the campaign when serving. You can get the campaign serving status using campaign.servingStatus. Let us know if you need any other information.

Hi, thank you for your answer!

So, the Campaigns have a Status and a Serving Status and both states are independent right?

A Campaign can have an ACTIVE status and an ENDED service status?

What I need to do is use the Final URL Report (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/final-url-report#campaignstatus) and filter de URLs if their serving status is ENDED. Is there a way to do that directly in the report? Or the only way is using the URLs campaign id and get the serving status manually? That's the only way I've found so far.

Thank you.

Hi Fede,

Yes, the campaigns have Status and a Serving Status attributes and both are independent as campaign Serving Status indicates if the campaign is serving Ads which is different from the status of  the campaign. It is possible to have campaign with ACTIVE status and ENDED service status(if the campaign has ended serving ads). To pull the service status of campaign directly from Final URL Report is not possible, it can be performed manually using the same steps you followed.
