How do I filter out keywords where FinalURL is blank/empty?

[Temla]

Hi, how should my predicate look like if I want to select keywords where FinalUrls is empty/blank? 

For the old Destination URL I used this

{:field => 'DestinationUrl', :operator => 'STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE', :values => ['http']}

but for the new I change to this

{:field => 'FinalUrls', :operator => 'NOT_EQUALS', :values => ['']}

Is that the right way to do it?

Hello,

In your first line of code use 'FinalUrls' instead of  'DestinationUrl'  (e.g.   {:field => 'FinalUrls', :operator => 'STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE', :values => ['http']})

But FinalUrls is a Set and the STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE operator is used with Strings?

Hello,

Your initial approach is correct. I just tested this, and you can use EQUALS and NOT EQUALS with :values set to [''] to find ads with no final URLs or that have final URLs, respectively.

Hello,

I actually did a little more research, and STARTS_WITH type filters should also work for this, as long as you only have a single URL. I believe if there are multiple URLs in the list, then it will concatenate them before applying the filter, which would also work if you're just looking for the string 'http'.
