Video Campaign Audiences, Placements, etc. in API

[Meg Ford]

Hi,

I have two questions about the API:

1. Are there any API endpoints we can use to pull the criterion IDs and system codes and formats data that are downloadable on this page? https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats There seem to be some reports such as https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v8/life_event that might allow us to get some of these lists?
2. When creating a new campaign in the Google Ads UI, there are options that do not appear to be available via the API. For example, we would like to be able to use the API to get and set statuses from the list of Parental Statuses under Campaign/Audiences/Browse/Who they are (Detailed Demographics)/ . We would like to be able to use the API for all of the options under the Browse tab in Audiences, as well as the Video Lineups that are shown under the Browse tab in Campaign/Placements. If any of these are available in the API I'd very much appreciate it if you could point me to the documentation.

Thanks very much for your time and attention,

Hello Meg,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Please see our responses to your questions below:

1. Are there any API endpoints we can use to pull the criterion IDs and system codes and formats data that are downloadable on this page? https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats There seem to be some reports such as https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v8/life_event that might allow us to get some of these lists? -> Criterion IDs from this guide can be retrieved depending on what report you're trying to get. For example, you can get the Age ranges via the campaign_criterion.age_range.type.
2. When creating a new campaign in the Google Ads UI, there are options that do not appear to be available via the API. For example, we would like to be able to use the API to get and set statuses from the list of Parental Statuses under Campaign/Audiences/Browse/Who they are (Detailed Demographics). We would like to be able to use the API for all of the options under the Browse tab in Audiences, as well as the Video Lineups that are shown under the Browse tab in Campaign/Placements. -> As for this concern related to Detailed Demographics, I'm afraid that this is still not supported in the API. We have raised a feature request for this; however, there is no guarantee if this will be supported in the API soon. Having said that, we suggest that you follow our blog for updates and new releases.
