What is "ad content" field refer/means? or what type of data it contains?

Also, which report helps me to download "ad content" field reports/data/stats?

I have no idea or context of ad content

Hi Pramod,

The AdWords API currently does not have an "Ad Content" field that it supports. You may find in this documentation all available fields that are currently supported. This said, could you provide more information such as the a screenshot or documentation where you saw the "Ad Content" field so I can verify if it is indeed available or unavailable via the AdWords API?

You may reply via Reply privately to author if the information you will send contains any sensitive data.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Pramod,

Could you send to me the screenshot or documentation of the fields you mentioned so I can verify their availability in the AdWords API?

Hi Pramod,

I'm afraid I cannot comment further as this feature is not available in the AdWords API and is already out of scope for our support. For further information regarding the field, kindly reach out to the appropriate team via the AdWords Community Forum.

Hi,

the "Ad Content" column in Google Analytics contains the "first line of the ad" as per the documentation. In practice, for an ETA it would be the Headline 1 field, whereas a Display Ad would show its Name field.

Hope this helps,
Dorian

Sorry for delayed response
Hi dorian, Thank you so much for your response. Just one question that, sometime I see Headline 1 field empty.  Can you please suggest to select which field? in case of headline 1 is empty

Thanks in advance

If you're talking about the Ad Perfomance Report, then you'd be looking for the ImageCreativeName attribute.

Best regards,
Dorian
