Hi there, 

When we are building a display campaign we have the option to search for placements to chose. The results are displayed showing 5 results in the default result window, if we want to see more we can scroll and after a while we are able to click on "show more" to load more placementes. I'm looking for a way to retrieve let's say at least a hundred placement results in a single view to speed up the process and select the one are interesting to me.
Is this possible somehow?
Thank you

Hi Luca,

Thank you for reaching out.

It appears that your concern is related to the Google Ads UI. Since this our team specializes more on AdWords API and Google Ads API related concerns, you can reach out to the product experts instead via the Google Ads Help Community forum for further guidance.

Hello, 

Thank you for answering. I'm actually trying to understand how to retrieve the full list of placements via the API because the Google Ads UI is not the best solution to do so.
Is there a way via the API? I need to solve a planning problem since the Display Planner disappeared.
Thank you

Hi Luca,

Thanks for clarifying. 

If you are looking for a placement suggestion feature via the AdWords API, then I'm afraid that this is not supported. What is available is a way to retrieve placements that you are already targeting.

You can retrieve them via the AdWords API reports by using the Placement Performance Report. You may also use the CampaginCriterionService.get() / AdGroupCriterionService.get() methods to get your campaign level placements or ad group level placements, respectively.

I hope this helps.
