Can't retrieve the final urls from ads

[antonio.esca...@gmail.com]

Hello, I'm having problems while trying to retrieve the final urls from the api. My intention is to gather all the final urls from all my ads in order to check them all at once. 

The problem is that while i can see them when creating the ads in the field finalUrls, this field disappears when I use a method for getting my ads. I'm attaching screenshots from both situations.

I'm currently using python but with java I had the same problem

Hello Antonio,

Did you select CreativeFinalUrls in your selector in the AdGroupAdService? If not, please try that and see if it works. 

Alternatively, you can run the Ad Performance Report and get the final URLs there.

Thanks!

I selected CreativeFinalUrls in my selector and it worked. But I still don't know why I need to add that field in the selector.

Hi Antonio,

Glad to hear it works. You need to include it your selector, otherwise you may get null returned or an error. Here is a list of the selector fields in each our services. 

Here is more information on using selectors. Please let us know if you have any other issues or questions regarding AdWords API,
