Why the MediaFile resource of image_ad is not selectable in GAds API?

[javoeria]

I can't get the MediaFile resource name of an image_ad but i can get the MediaFile resource name of a video_ad.

I don't understand the reason of this, why is it different?

Thanks

Hello,

You could use the ad_group_ad.resource_name and ad_group_ad.ad.type fields to find the resource name and type of the Ads from your account. You could use the below query to get the information required. 

.setQuery("SELECT ad_group_ad.resource_name, ad_group_ad.ad.type FROM ad_group_ad ORDER BY ad_group_ad.ad.type")

In-case you are looking to get the resource name of the images then you can use the media_file.resource_name and media_file.type fields of the media_file resource. Below is the query for your reference. 

.setQuery("SELECT media_file.resource_name, media_file.type FROM media_file ORDER BY media_file.type")

If you are still not seeing any resource names for Image Ads/Images? could you please share the query you are running and the account CID you are pointing to? You could share the requested information via the reply privately to the author option.
