Hi,

I have found that Display Ads -- the ads in campaigns with subtype "Ads in mobile apps" -- do not appear correctly in this report.

I am using the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report via v201409, php, CSV format.
  • Text Display Ads -- the headline is:
    Display Ad created 9/15/14 - Play With Millions
    Instead of just:
    Play With Millions
  • Image Display Ads -- the Ad type is blank (not "Image ad" or "Display ad")
Is this expected? How should I get the actual headline for text Display ads, and figure out which ads are image Display ads?

Thanks,

Hi,

Have you tried using ImageCreativeName and/or ImageAdUrl? The Headline field corresponds to the headline attribute of TextAd, so it won't be populated if the ad is not of type TextAd.

Regarding the blank AdType field, could you send over a sample ad group ID and ad ID I could investigate?

Thanks,

Hi,

A sample ad ID is 66109351408, and it's in adgroup 20079638368.

I'll try your suggestions.

Thanks,
