How to; Filter out dynamic campaigns when fetching all display campaigns

[Noud Adrichem]

I'm trying to filter out all 'dynamic' campaigns while fetching all display campaigns. 

I can't seem to find any 'dynamic' related attributes/properties on the Campaign entity (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.Campaign)

I then tried to match feeds campaign IDs from CampaignFeedService to the actual campaign IDs but this has 2 big down sides. 

    1. For some reason when a campaign has a data feed it doesn't always show up in the CampaignFeedService. Which makes this method very unreliable.

    2. It needs 2 separate requests to the API and is therefore very slow. (about 5 times slower than only using CampaignService) 

I was hoping there is some sort of predicate filter to filter out dynamic feeds but until now I did not find any...

This is my selector:

{

fields: [

'Id',

'Name',

'Status',

// 'Settings',

// 'AdvertisingChannelType',

// 'AdvertisingChannelSubType',

// 'Labels',

],

predicates: [

{

field: 'AdvertisingChannelType',

operator: 'EQUALS',

values: 'DISPLAY'

},

]

}

Hello,

You can run the Placeholder Report which will break data down on the placeholder type level. You can include campaign related fields to see if the campaigns include those placeholder types.

So in a sense you have to check if the campaign contains a feed "dynamic advertising in campaign settings." and if the campaign contains a feed it's a dynamic campaign? 

P.S.
If this is true wouldn't this be a bit redundant. I'm using the Google Ads API now instead of the Adwords. And can't seem to find any other way than what you're suggesting.
The bad thing imo is that you have to chain fetches which makes the service very slow..
