Difference in output of campaign_shared_set resource and UI

[Rik Mathijssen]

The campaign_shared_set resource returns data to see which campaigns are connected to a shared negative keyword list (among other lists). 

When I pull the following report from Google Ads API, I receive data that is different than the data I see when I manually look in the Google Ads UI.

SELECT
customer.id,
campaign.id,
shared_set.id
FROM campaign_shared_set
WHERE customer.id = {customer_id}
AND shared_set.status = 'ENABLED'

The data from the API returns a row where a campaign id seems to be connected to a shared negative keyword list (mcc level), but in the interface, this campaign is not in the list of connected campaigns.

Also, if that campaign really was connected to that shared negative list, it would not be generating data, since the negative list has negative keywords that would block the keywords in that campaign. And the campaign is still generating impressions (so apparently, the campaign is not connected.)

I also double-checked the campaign id to make sure I am really looking at the enabled campaign the campaign_shared_set resource is referring to.

I also verified I'm not looking at old data, this is not the case.

Could someone explain to me how this is possible? Could it be that I'm fetching data from an earlier moment instead of the current situation? 

Kind regards,

Hi Rik,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you please privately reply with your complete request and response logs along with the campaign ID that is being returned in the API, but not the web interface? If you could also show us a screenshot of the UI showing this campaign, that will help too.

Thanks,
Matt
