Hi there,

Is it possible to use the API to determine of a campaign has checked "conservative targeting?" 

I know that we can use the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting field to find if a campaign has "aggressive targeting" set, but what about conservative?


Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Unfortunately, the AdWords API doesn't expose the "conservative" setting, so this information will have to be retrieved using the UI.

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Hello,

is there still no way to distinguish Disabled Targeting optimization and Conservative mode via API? 

Thank you.

Hi,

There have not been any changes since my previous post, but if this functionality is added to the AdWords API, we'll announce it on our blog or in the release notes.

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

I hate to be that guy but, is this still not available through the AdWords or Ads APIs?
I couldn't see anything in the change history but i'm kinda hoping you'd expose it in the new ads API at least.

Hi Joe,

Don't worry about being that guy -- it's a perfectly reasonable question! :)

I'm following up with the targeting team and will post back when I have more details on the plans for this setting in the new Google Ads API.

Thanks,
Josh, Google Ads API Team
