We make heavy use of labels and currently we import all ad groups using the ad_group report and would like to be able to import the labels at the same time.

However at the moment we have to do a query to the label report for each e.g. ad group to get the actual label names, which takes a very long time, as I believe only a RepeatedField of resource_names is returned.

It would be useful to make the label names a part of the initial report for convenience, maybe return a RepeatedField of label.name (labels_names)?

Only workaround I can think of at the moment to speed things up is to bulk download all labels and then join that in our database locally to the adgroups, but this feels a bit clunky.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For our team to further check this and provide appropriate recommendations to you, could you kindly provide us with the entire UI screenshot where you can see the label names in the ad group table? Note that the Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. Whatever data shows on the Ads UI report, the API should pull it the same way. However, if this is not supported with the UI, then I’m afraid that it will also not be supported with the API.

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.

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2mVdjU:ref"


Thanks,
