Hello,

Thank you for raising your concern. Yes, based on our API document and product level document, there is no step or process that is discussed about creating ads for Performance Max Campaign. With this, it appears ad is not supported for this type of campaign and this is also the reason why you can't get any data using ad_group_ad. You may confirm this in your UI.
The Google Ads API supports performance max report data only at campaign level, not ads level. Also, please make sure to not select an AdGroup when querying Performance Max campaigns, as no campaigns will be returned, please find more details here. Let me know if you have further questions.

Best regards,

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for bumping up on this Forum thread. I hope that you are doing well today.

As per checking on the ad_group_ad the campaign is included as a attributed resource. This means that you can use the fields from the campaign report in the ad_group_ad report. You may try the sample query I made below:
 

SELECT 
campaign.advertising_channel_type, campaign.name, 
ad_group.name, ad_group_ad.ad.name, metrics.clicks, 
metrics.impressions FROM ad_group_ad WHERE 
campaign.advertising_channel_type = 'PERFORMANCE_MAX'

Let us know if this is what you are looking for.
