Google Ads API for Performance Max

[Clara Yeohyun Yoon]

Hi Google Ads API team, 

Is Google Ads supported for Performance Max campaign types? Can client retrieve pMax campaign performance data (as displayed in Google Ads UI such as cost, conversions, conversion value, etc.) with Google Ads API? 

pMax Comm Doc states that it might not be supported yet but kindly confirm whether this is true since this is stopping client from starting this new campaign (it also has revenue impact for Google).

 Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Many thanks, 

Clara Yoon

Clarification on my first question: I meant to say - Does "Google Ads API" support Performance Max campaign type?

Hi Clara,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. In looking over this, we at the moment do not believe that Google Ads API is able to support this based on the knowledge that we have at the moment. If possible, can you link to us the documentation that you pulled the screenshot from. Also we would suggest checking out this documentation regarding available campaign types.

Also at the same time, I will need to delete the initial post as it shows a screenshot of private information.

Regards,

William Pescherine Google Ads API Team

Hello Clara,

Thanks for getting back to us.

I'm afraid that our team doesn't have any access to the link you've shared. As mentioned by William and according to this guide, not all campaign types in the Google Ads UI are supported in the API. In addition to that, you can also check on these fields (advertising_channel_type, advertising_channel_sub_type) to know if that campaign type is supported in Reports.

Going back to the Performance Max campaign, 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 soon. That said, we suggest that you follow this blog for updates and new releases.

As an aside, I will be removing your last post as it contains internal link. Please refrain from sharing internal documents in the forum channel. Please share the doc to our support channel (googleadsa...@google.com) instead.

Below is a copy of your post with the removed link:

Hi William, 

Thank you for your reply. I am attaching internal comm doc here, where i obtained the screenshot from. (Performance Max Comm Doc)

If Google Ads is unable to cover this product, pMax, are you suggesting that it is not possible for Google Ads API to retrieve campaign data, even though it is displayed within Google Ads UI?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Many thanks, 
Clara Yoon
