campaign.advertising_channel_type returns number

[Harshad GoogleAds]

Hi ,

When I pull  campaign.advertising_channel_type  using google ads api it returns the numeric values ( eg. 2,6, etc). 

How do get corresponding values for these numbers ( i.e. "Display", "Video")

Hi Harshad,

The steps to logging are listed here. Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi Harshad,

the client libraries offer modules/methods to fetch the enum names out of these numbers. You'll find some examples here:

BTW: I' m under the impression that the quality of the answers from the members of the Google Ads API team has been decreasing significantly lately.

Thanks for the help Mat. Appreciate it. 

I totally agree about Google Ads API team, sometimes refrain posting queries just because I feel team won't go through the details and just reply with a generic answer.
