Multiple video_ids for a single ad_group_ad_id in the video report

[Satish Pinnuri]

Hey there,

We are pulling the video resource from google ads. We are seeing two video_ids that share a single ad_group_ad_id in our report. But, we do not have two video_ids for the given ad_group_ad_id. Can we know why is this happening?

When you edit a video in the ads UI, the UI says that the old ad will be disabled and a new ad gets created, so it should not be possible to have 2 videos sharing the same ad_group_ad_id. I've attached a screenshot of that message.

Here is the GAQL query for your reference:

SELECT
 video.id,
 video.channel_id,
 video.duration_millis,
 video.title,
 ad_group_ad.ad.id,
ad_group.id,
campaign.id,
campaign.serving_status
from video
where  metrics.impressions > 0 and campaign.serving_status in ('SERVING', 'SUSPENDED', 'PENDING')

Hi Satish,

Thank you for your patience on this issue. I’ve received an update from my team.

In Google Ads API perspective, this behavior is supported and is not unexpected. A VideoResponsiveAd can have multiple videos, and it supports mutability. You may let us know if something is breaking due to this behavior of VideoResponsiveAd, so that I can share it with my rest of the team.
