Headline Part 3 and Description 2 for Expanded Text Ads - Partial data in API

[AdWordsApiUser]

Hi Team,

HeadlinePart3 and Description2 are now available in the Google Ads Interface for Expanded Text Ads, however, in the API we are still only getting HeadlinePart1 and HeadlinePart2 for such ads - this is a huge problem because there is no way in the API to differentiate ads that have 2 headlines from the ads that have 3. There is simply no indication. 

Our users are already complaining, and monthly reporting cycle is upon us - please advise - this is more of a bug than a pending feature due to partial data being returned.

Hello Manas, 

Currently, these fields are not supported through the API. I have shared your feedback with the team. We do not have an ETA on when this feature is made available through the API. Please keep an eye on our blog for more updates regarding this. 

Thanks,

Bharani, AdWords API Team

Hello Team,

Me too, i noticed that in Adwords APi  version v201809 still does not return description 2 field though it is downloaded by report(csv excel) in adwords online.

Any updates?, in the blog i can`t find anything related to description 2 field.

Hi,

You can use the ExpandedTextAdHeadlinePart3 and expandedtextaddescription2 fields to pull the data for Headline 3 and description 2 fields from the Ad Performance Report. Let me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks,
Milind, AdWords API Team

Hi Milind,

These fields aren't working in Google Ads Scripts, despite the references in the Scripts API to these fields. Do you have an ETA for these functions within Scripts?

Hi Gemma,

Since your questions are specific to Google Ads Scripts. I would recommend to post your question on the Google Ads Scripts forum.
