Hi!

Now I'm using Adwords API and I want to detect which campaign can create Call Ads and which is not but I can't find what's the difference between these campaigns.

Can u let me know how to distinguish them?

Please check the attachments and screenshot below for more detail.

We cannot migrate to Ads API yet.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you please try following the instructions under the 'Create a new call campaign' section of this general support article? It seems likely that under, “Select the ways you'd like to reach your goal”, “Phone Calls” was not selected for one of your campaigns. If you continue to not see this option in the UI, please reach out to product support.

Hi!

I mean I want to detect which campaign is a "Call Campaign" when I get its data from Adwords API.
The data of  "normal campaign" seems similar to "call campaign".

Or in the other hand, how do I know that is a "Call campaign" when using API?

Check the attachment(2 txt files) above for the data I got from the API.

Hello,

It doesn't appear possible to retrieve this in the AdWords API. As the AdWords API will sunset in April 2022, there will be no more feature additions to the API. However, the Ads API campaign resource does have the field, OptimizationGoalType, which indicates a campaign is optimized for call clicks.
