Seemingly duplicate campaign budget and unknonw campaign Id

[Daniel da Silva]

When querying Campaign Budgets for our account, we're encountering an odd response. The query is as follows:

SELECT
campaign_budget.id,
campaign_budget.resource_name,
campaign.id,
campaign_budget.status,
campaign_budget.delivery_method,
campaign_budget.period,
campaign_budget.type,
campaign_budget.name,
campaign_budget.amount_micros,
campaign_budget.total_amount_micros,
campaign_budget.explicitly_shared,
campaign_budget.reference_count,
campaign_budget.has_recommended_budget,
campaign_budget.recommended_budget_amount_micros,
campaign_budget.recommended_budget_estimated_change_weekly_clicks,
campaign_budget.recommended_budget_estimated_change_weekly_cost_micros,
campaign_budget.recommended_budget_estimated_change_weekly_interactions,
campaign_budget.recommended_budget_estimated_change_weekly_views

FROM campaign_budget

This returns all Campaign Budgets in our account. However, a particular campaign budget with ID CB1234 is included twice in the response. All of the properties for these objects are identical, with the only difference that one references Campaign ID C1313, and the other Campaign ID C1212. Campaign ID C1313 actually exists in our account, while C1212 doesn't.

If we try to simply query that campaign, with a query like this:
SELECT
    campaign.id
    campaign.base_campaign,
    campaign.name
FROM campaign
WHERE campaign.id = C1212

We get no data back.

So I'm confused as why we're getting two instances of Campaign Budget CB1234, but with references to 2 different campaigns, while only one of these campaigns actually exists.

My thought was that we had a 1-to-1 relationship between Campaigns and Campaign Budgets. Is this not the case? Also how can it reference a campaign that doesn't exist in the account?

I appreciate any help.

Note: the IDs are not the real ones for privacy.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for reaching out and for describing the issue. Could you send us  'DEBUG' log level request and response logs of raw API communications showing the issue? Could you also check with 

The request and response appears similar to the JSON Mappings in our REST documentation with additional headers and information such as request Id. Here are logging instructions for our Java, .NET, PHP, Python, Ruby and Perl Ads API Client Libraries.

If you are using our REST interface then the full multi line curl command line is a request log and adding curl command line option '-i' will also generate a response log. 

You may also check out Reporting on experiments, you may have some experiment campaigns that are also valid campaigns.
