Fetch campaign mobile app using API

How to fetch via Adwords API from an existing app install campaign what is the mobile app that is defined?

Hello,

You may use the CampaignService.get with specified advertisingChannelType and advertisingChannelSubType for mobile app campaigns.

More details about this in the AdWords API can be found here.

The question is how to get the name and the OS of the actual mobile app that is being advertised. It is not returned from campaign service API.

Hello,

You may try to use the CampaignCriterionService instead, with criterion as OperatingSystemVersion to get the name and the version of the device targeted. Please let me know if this helps.

This service provides targeting operating system info. But we want to get info about mobile app that is advertised - i.e. when the end user clicks on the banner he is redirected to Play Store or App Store page of the advertised app and we need to find OS (Android or IOS) of this advertised app.

Hello,

Apologies for the delayed response and thanks for the additional information. You may use the URL Performance Report using Url and DisplayName fields to get the information you described. 

The return should be something like: mobileapp::2-com.google.android.launcher, as documented here (under "MobileApplication" section). Additionally, you can distinguish if it is from iOS or Android by the prefix 1 or 2. To get mode details about this, please refer here. Please let me know if this helps.
