Cannot retrieve Adwords Express Campaign from the API

[Simon]

Hello, 

As explained in the title, I am currently trying to retrieve informations about an Adwords Express campaign from the API but it does not seem to work at all. This campaign comes from another Managed Account and I can see on the Adwords homepage that I am getting this message: 

"Your AdWords Express ads can be managed only in your AdWords Express account."

What does it mean? Does it mean that I cannot retrieve informations (such as CPM, CPC, Cost...) from the API with the Manager Account Client Customer ID being provided to the Adwords API?

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

If you wish to retrieve AdWords Express Campaigns via the AdWords API, then, I recommend that you refer to our blog post on how to setup the proper filters in order to successfully retrieve the said campaigns. As for the "Your AdWords Express ads can be managed only in your AdWords Express account." message, modifying or managing the said campaigns is currently not supported by the AdWords API and only the retrieval of the said entities is supported.

I hope this helps and feel free to write back if you have any further concerns.

Best regards,

Peter
