I would like to be able to download a report using the Adwords API, I would like to view the audiences at campaign level,At present I download an Audience Performance Report with the following fields:
CampaignName
AdGroupName
UserListName
Criteria
BidModifier
Cost
Clicks
Conversions

These fields show me the audience User Lists at Ad Group level. However the majority of my Audience Lists are applied at campaign level, and therefore don't show up in the report?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi Rachel,

Starting with AdWords API version v201609 the Audience Performance Report includes audiences targeted at the campaign level. Previously, this report only included audiences targeted at the ad group level. You need to use the CriterionAttachmentLevel attribute to differentiate between audiences targeted at the campaign level and ad group level.

Great, Thankyou!

So do I add the CriterionAttachmentLevel as a field or a filter?

I've tried adding it as a field but it stops the adwords download from working.

Hi Rachel,

You can add it as a field to get both campaign level and ad group level audience targets. If you would like to retrieve audience targets only at the campaign level, you can use this field in a predicate. This field was added to the Audience Performance Report in AdWords API version v201609. If you are using this field in a report query in older API versions, you'll encounter an error. Could you retry this report request with newer API versions (v201609 and v201702) and let me know if it works?
