I can get discovery ads through the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT service, however the ad type comes out empty. Is there any way to tell what type of ad I'm getting when it's a discovery ad? The AdWords console displays the ad type ("Discovery Ad") correctly, so I'm guessing there must be a way. Thank you

Hi Deny,

Thank you for reaching out. The Discovery Ad type is not supported in the Adwords API and this results in the empty results for type when fetching the data via Adwords API. We are not able to submit a feature request to support the Discovery Ad type in the Adwords API as our top priority right now is to get the new Google Ads API ready for general availability. As such, we aren't planning on adding enhancements to the AdWords API, but we will continue to fully support it, and address any bugs as they are found.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
