how to get audience names associated with ad groups

[E.G.]

Hello

I am trying to get all audience names associated with my ad groups through the ads api.

It looks like I need to query ad_group_audience_view or ad_group_criterion for ad_group_id, ad_group_criterion.type, and depending on the type make a second query to other resource such as custom_audience to fetch the name, is this correct? Is there any advantage to query ad_group_audience_view vs ad_group_criterion? Is there any way to do this with one query only?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. You can use the ad group criterion resource for this purpose. For example you might use the query:

  "SELECT ad_group_criterion.user_list.user_list, user_list.name, ad_group.name FROM ad_group_criterion"

The query builder can be a useful tool for creating queries.

Right, we can get user_list names directly from ad_group_criterion. But what about other audience types, like custom_audience? I don't see an option for custom_audience name.

Also, if my audience was applied at the campaign level, can it still show up in ad_group_criterion for ad groups associated with the campaign? Or will I need to make another query for campaign_criterion?

Hi,

I work with Matt and let me provide support to your concern.

The ad_group_criterion report could return the details of the audiences that are listed here. However, the name field of the custom audience is not present on this report type. However, you may use the custom_audience instead and include the custom_audience.name to get the name of the custom audience.

As for retrieving the audiences that were applied at the campaign level, you are correct that you need to make another query using campaign_criterion.
