campaign.status retuning integer instead of 'ENABLED' or 'PAUSED'

[Michael]

Hello!

I am struggling to use the campaign.status resource in my python reports because the values returned are numbers which are not constant...

Today Status = 6 means it's Enabled, but yesterday, Status = 4 meant Enabled. 

After reading the same question in this Group (link here), I understand the enum values of the campaign.status resource are supposed to/can be mapped to 'campaign_status.proto', however that link is broken & I have no idea what is going on.

Is there a simple way to get this value consistently with the campaign.status resource?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

The values you are retrieving being different could be due to how it is processed based on the client library you are using. For context, performing curl requests should follow the values as listed in the campaign report documentation wherein you should get values such as ENABLED or PAUSED.

That said, for handling the response in Python and ensuring you get values consistent with the documentation, I would recommend that you raise this to their client library owners via this link. I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks. This was 100% my fault. Was accidentally summing value of my status codes w/ Pandas Groupby...embarassing.
