How to get 'campaign type' (Search Network only”, “Display Network only”, “Search Network with Display Select”) from google adwords api?

[larisa bolgova]

Hi. Could you help me with next question.

We alredy loaded 'networkSettings', but it contains another parametres - targetGoogleSearch, targetSearchNetwork, targetContentNetwork, targetPartnerSearchNetwork. All parametres are null, but only 'targetContentNetwork' contains value(true or false).

 How to compare this loaded data with 'campaign type'?

Thank you.

Hi Larisa,

Campaign type parameter is not available through AdWords API yet, this might become available in a future version of AdWords API.

Hi,

There is not a 1-1 mapping between the campaign types you see in the UI and an attribute in the API. Instead, you'll want to look at the combination of the following attributes on the Campaign object:

• advertisingChannelType - for search vs. display
  
• advertisingChannelSubType (for mobile app campaigns)
  
• networkSetting - see this blog post
  

The UI has more fine-grained campaign types because those types control specific features of the UI. When you create a campaign through the API, it will be an All features campaign.

Cheers,
