Change in Google API Response

[Matan Wilchek]

Hi,

I see a big change in google ads API response, in fields that used to be Enums, and suddenly are a simple int.

For example, campaign.advertising_channel_type.name used to be Enum, and now is an int,

while campaign.advertising_channel_sub_type is still an Enum.

Is this some kind of temporary bug, or is this a permanent change in behaviour?

Thanks, Matan

We're running into a similar issue when calling the getName() for the following object from a campaign resource.

        campaign.getAdvertisingChannelType().getValueDescriptor().getName()

The error we're receiving is "Can't get the descriptor of an unrecognized enum value."

Hi,

why didn't you just say that you're releasing a new API version (v10.1) and the problems are due to integration?

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I work with Nirmita and allow me to assist you here.

Is this some kind of temporary bug, or is this a permanent change in behaviour?

- In order to know the visibility to this question, we will need the complete logs as mentioned by my colleague.

why didn't you just say that you're releasing a new API version (v10.1) and the problems are due to integration?

-  I would suggest referring to our Release Notes as we are posting there the new API updates such as the API versions. As for this part of the reply "and the problems are due to integration", would you be able to provide more context as to why the new version causes issues with your integration?

Best regards,
