Hi there,

We traditionally got headline, description_1, and description_2 fields for video discovery ads via the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT in the AdWords API. We are now trying to get the same data in the Google Ads API and cannot get any results for video discovery ads.

Should these fields be returning values for video discovery ads, or is there another type we should be using? I can only find TrueViewInstream references in the docs (e.g. ad_group_ad.ad.video_ad.in_stream.companion_banner), nothing for video discovery.

ad.text_ad.description_1

ad.text_ad.description_2

ad.text_ad.headline

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, those fields don't exist for that ad type in Google Ads API. You can keep an eye on our Developer Blog for information on future releases.
