Cannot target similar audience segments for Display campaigns

[Mihály Balás]

Hello,

We are having trouble deploying our GDN campaigns with custom similar audiences. The API does not appear to return these user lists as it did before even though we can see them in the UI and they can be assigned to ad groups manually.

We understand that these audiences are being phased out, but the deadline is more than half a year away and they still work in the UI, but not through the API.

I can provide specific user list ids and request-response logs in private if necessary.

Regards,

Mihaly

Hi Mihály,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For our team to further check and validate this issue, I would be needing your help in providing the complete API logs(request and response with request-id) generated on your end and the whole UI screenshot where you can see the expected data you want to retrieve in the API.

Note that logs can be requested or provided to the developer handling the Google Ads API transactions when logging of the API requests has been enabled. You may check here and click your client library for the specific guideline to enable it.

For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. This will cause the tool to include the HTTP response headers in the output.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,

Heidi Google Ads API Team
