Difference between AdNetworkType1 and AdNetworkType2

[Tiana S.]

What is the difference between the two?
They seem the same, except for the fact that AdNetworkType2 includes search partners... I tried filtering on multiple networks with AdNetworkType1 (AdNetworkType1 IN [CONTENT, SEARCH]) but an error was returned that this was an invalid WHERE clause. The same predicate does however work when using AdNetworkType2.

Hello,

Yes, you are correct. The difference between AdNetworkType1 and AdNetworkType2 is AdNetworkType2 includes search partners. I am able to run below report queries.

"SELECT CampaignId,  Impressions, Clicks, Cost FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT WHERE AdNetworkType1 IN [CONTENT,SEARCH]  DURING YESTERDAY";

"SELECT CampaignId,  Impressions, Clicks, Cost FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT WHERE AdNetworkType2 IN [CONTENT,SEARCH]  DURING YESTERDAY";

If you want to get the data for specific campaign type (e.g. Seach, Display, Video etc.) you could use the AdvertisingChannelType field.

Please provide the report request where you were getting the error (invalid where clause).

Thanks,

Umesh, AdWords API Team.

About seven years ago (or much longer) Google introduced a new network type Search Partners in AdWords.
For backward compatibility the old definition of network types was not removed.

Hi Umesh, 

Thank you for your answer! As for the error, I can't reproduce it anymore so I guess it was just a hiccup. :)

Best regards,
