Differentiating between MCC vs Campaign level Shared Lists

[AdWordsApiUser]

Hello Friends (and Saviors :),

When I pull the list of Campaign Shared Lists, I also get the MCC level shared lists. All good till now. When I try to add a new negative keyword to a shared list, in case the shared list is at the MCC level, the operation fails. Is there a way to distinguish between MCC vs Single Account shared lists? I understand that there is no field for this right now, but even if I could look at the ID and determine, it would be okay as a workaround.

Thanks!

Hi MG,

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to differentiate between a shared set available at the client account level vs the one shared from the manager account. As a workaround, you can try retrieving the SharedSetIds for all shared sets available at the manager account and then eliminate the same IDs from the result retrieved from the API call made at the client account level. Please revert if you have additional questions or concerns.
