Audience type = 41

[Oksana Sulyma]

Hi Google Ads API team!

I'm using the lates version of API and official google-ads-php library. 

I pull data from https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v16/ad_group_audience_view 

[2024-05-28T09:18:45.222525+00:00] google-ads.INFO: Request made: Host: "googleads.googleapis.com", Method: "/google.ads.googleads.v16.services.GoogleAdsService/SearchStream", CustomerId: <hidden>, RequestId: "Nd0yeo4wqK54WlUmL4YndA", IsFault: 0, FaultMessage: "None"  
[2024-05-28T09:18:45.238379+00:00] google-ads.DEBUG: Request

Method Name: /google.ads.googleads.v16.services.GoogleAdsService/SearchStream

Request:
{"customerId":"<hidden>","query":"SELECT campaign.id, ad_group.id, segments.ad_network_type, ad_group_criterion.display_name, ad_group_criterion.criterion_id, ad_group_criterion.type, segments.date, metrics.clicks, metrics.cost_micros, metrics.impressions FROM ad_group_audience_view WHERE segments.date>='2024-04-01' AND segments.date<='2024-04-30'  ORDER BY segments.date DESC "}

And in response I get values like :

"adGroupCriterion":{"resourceName":<hidden>,"criterionId":"358609499706","displayName":"95004","type":41}

My question is about ,"type":41 value. Per documentation https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v16/ad_group_criterion#ad_group_criterion.type is enum 

and there is no value = 41 listed. 

I can confirm that I get other values like CUSTOM_INTENT or UNKNOWN in the same API response. 

Upon checking in UI I see that "type":41 is correspondent to 'Life Event' Audience type. 

Is it expected behaviour to get "type":41 instead of type:LIFE_EVENT as ad_group_criterion.type? 

If so, could you please provide a documentation link on ID=> Type references, like 41 => LIFE_EVENT?

Thanks team!

Hi Oksana,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

In order to debug the issue, share the complete response. The reason I'm asking is because I tried on my end. I didn't get the "type":41 in the response, so for further investigation, we need a complete response.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

 

This message is in relation to case "{{{Case.Thread_Id}}}" (ADR-{{{Case.CaseNumber}}})

Thanks,



{{{Case.RecordType}}} Team

Hi team, this is very interesting! Potentially related to google-ads-php library usage. 

Attaching my complete request / response log + response in better readable format.

Thanks so much for looking at this question!

Hi,

The 'type':41 corresponds to LIFE_EVENT. There was an issue for the same scenario which has been raised. You can refer to this link for more information.
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02tJ9Us:ref" (ADR-00237356)

Hi team, thanks for the link.

I can confirm that with update to latest google-ads-php lib version the issue is resolved.
