Feed Item Mapping Validation Information via API ?

[peter.r...@smarter-ecommerce.com]

I am wondering how I can get validation information for feed items via the API. 

I am currently using the FeedItemService. Here is what I experience at the moment when using the selector "ValidationDetails":

If an item awaits approval, then the validationDetails property is not set at all.

If an item is either approved or disapproved, then the validationDetails property is set, but no validationErrors are delivered.

In the Adwords UI I can see, disapproval reasons, e.g. "Guns & parts". I hoped, that I can access this information via the validationErrors property. 

Is there any other way to get the information or am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks! 

Peter

// --- here is  Groovy code snippet that should conceptually show what I am doing ---

adwordsDataService.getFeedItems(account, feedId).eachWithIndex { item, i ->

    println "$item.feedItemId ($i)"

    if(item.validationDetails) {

        item.validationDetails.each {

            println "  $it.approvalStatus / $it.validationStatus"

            if(it.validationErrors) {

                it.validationErrors.each {

                    println "    $it.feedAttributeIds / $it.validationErrorCode / $it.errorInformation"

                }

            } else {

                println "    no validation errors"

            }

        }

    } else {

        println "  no validation details"

    }

    println "====================="

}

Hello Peter,

Could you please give us an example of a feed items that are disapproved but errors are not returned? We need account and object IDs.
