Call to AdWords API and Google Ads API do not return same amount of campaigns

[Hector V]

Hello,

For the migration of AdWords API to Google Ads API, I am trying to verify that I get all the same information from one API to the other. Currently, while using the same account, when I use the following query, I get 84 campaigns, but for AdWords, when I put the equivalent for listing the campaigns on an account, I get 88 instead.

Here is the query I'm using:

SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name, campaign.status, campaign.advertising_channel_type FROM campaign WHERE campaign.status IN ('ENABLED','PAUSED','REMOVED') AND campaign.advertising_channel_type IN ('DISPLAY','SEARCH','SHOPPING') ORDER BY campaign.name

For testing purposes, I removed the WHERE part of the SQL to see if I would get the missing campaigns, but unfortunately, I did not get what I'm missing with that query:

SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name, campaign.status, campaign.advertising_channel_type FROM campaign ORDER BY campaign.name

Is there some campaigns that can't be seen on Google Ads API but still available on AdWords API?

Thanks and have a good day!

In order for me to proceed with my investigation, can you please provide the following details below?

1. Complete request and response logs with request ID of the Google Ads API report
2. Complete query in XML or AWQL format of the AdWords API report
3. Sample comparison which clearly shows the discrepancies
