Campaign ProductScope: ProductTypeInfo is Empty

[Kevin]

The data I'm getting back from the  CampaignCriterion  |  Google Ads API  |  Google Developers service for  ProductTypeInfo  |  Google Ads API  |  Google Developers is empty.

In AdWords API, I am able to get some values (e.g. PRODUCT_TYPE_L1 -> "foo") but in GoogleAds API, I am getting empty entries in the dimensions list.

The response I'm getting has other ListingScope information in it:

"listingScope": { "dimensions": [ { "productBrand": { "value": "[listing scope value]" } }, { }, { }, { }, { } ] }, "negative": false } } ]

But the other four entries (where I think the product type information would go) are empty.

Is anyone else getting this issue? I can provide request details privately if it helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

So I can further investigate, could you provide your customer ID, and the complete request and response logs of your API transaction that returned empty results?

You may send the requested information using the Reply privately to author option.

Hi,

I wanted to try to restart this thread.

I had a pretty lengthy conversation after providing the private details last year - it roughly ended with the following message:

Hi Kevin,

This seems like a feature that didn't get ported from the old AdWords API to the new Google Ads API. Our team is still discussing how to handle this case. We don't have an API release until approximately mid Q1 next year, so I don't expect a fix for this issue until then. 

I've checked with the team to see if they have an update. I'll keep you posted.

"""

It's a bit past Q1 2021 and I recently encountered it again.

Usually, I think it'd be better form to leave the discussion in the private email thread, but it has been quite a while and I was hoping to get more traction.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

As mentioned on the private thread, we currently don't have plans to make this feature available in Google Ads API. This may become available in a future version, and will be covered on our release notes on https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/ when this happens. Unfortunately I don't have more details to share on this topic yet.

Regards
Anash
