Hey API team,

Based on the release notes for V201509, AdvertisingChannelType added a new enum value 'Video' for campaign report, however, the core report our system is based on the criteria report. We would like to filter out the Video type campaigns from the criteria report, but there is no 'AdvertisingChannelType' field available for the criteria report.

I tried to use 'AdNetworkType1' and 'AdNetworkType2' and figured out that both search and video type campaigns can have the Display Network, which means i can not really use those 2 fields to filter out the video type campaigns. I would appreciate if anyone can help me on this.

Thanks,

Alex

Hey Alex,

Unfortunately, there does seem to be a way to filter out video campaigns using the Criteria Performance Report. I will talk to the team about adding this feature.

Please check the blog regarding any updates for this feature.

Hi Anthony,

Just a quick note: this would be useful in all reports. Sometimes you for example only want to show data from a specific type of campaigns such as Video when you're requesting Gender performance, Geo performance or any other report type for that matter.. ;)

Hi,

One way to work around this would be to first issue a CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and include AdvertisingChannelType and CampaignId in the request. You could then use a CampaignId NOT IN [videoCampaignId1, videoCampaignId2, ...] clause in other reports to exclude video campaigns.
