Hi,

I’ve been wanting to use the Google Ads API to gather reporting metrics on my smart campaigns, like impressions, clicks, map actions, etc.

I see that there is no public interface or documentation for this feature, but that the Google Ads website currently uses endpoints built for this purpose to report the data on the platform.

Is there any plan to officially release the endpoints as part of the API?

Thanks

Hi Ali,

Thanks for reaching out. The Smart Display Campaigns are supported in the Google Ads API. You may refer to this documentation on how to query data on this type of campaign in the Google Ads API. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team

Hi Xiaoming,

I appreciate the prompt response. I have looked into the existing reporting features, including the one on the page you have linked me to, but I was not able to query reports including metrics unique to smart campaigns, such as map actions and verified calls. Is there a way to query data for these specific fields using the API?

I've attached an image below showing the fields I am referring to, for clarification.

Thanks.

Hi Ali,

The Smart Display Campaigns are supported in the Google Ads API. However, the Smart Campaign is different from the Smart Display Campaign. Unfortunately, the Smart Campaigns are currently not supported in the Google Ads API so there is no way to query reports including metrics unique to smart campaigns, such as map actions and verified calls via Google Ads API. Please keep an eye on our blog for announcements and updates on new releases. 



Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team

Hello Xiaoming, what about support of Smart Display Campaigns in the Adwords API
however api request returns no data
I can provide exact call, while I can get Smart Display Campaigns data from CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
I cant do the same from AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
is this expected ? I can provide exact API call

Enter code here...curl --location --request POST 'https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload/v201809?__rdquery=SELECT%20%20CampaignId,%20CampaignName,%20Cost,%20Clicks,%20Impressions%20%20FROM%20AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT%20%20DURING%2020191201,20191229&__fmt=CSV' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ...' \
--header 'developerToken: ...' \
--header 'clientCustomerId: 3845581031' \
--header 'skipReportHeader: false' \
--header 'skipColumnHeader: false' \
--header 'skipReportSummary: false' \
--header 'useRawEnumValues: false'


such request returns no data while there is active performing Smart Display Campaign for this period

please advise , highly appreciated!

Hi Dmitry,

Yes, smart display campaigns are available in AdWords API. You should be able to use the Ad Performance Report to get ad data from these types of campaigns. Please provide your report definition and results through reply privately to author if you are unable to see this data.

Regards,
Anthony
