How to get videos data for given campaign(s)

[mkow...@strikesocial.com]

Hi all,

We're trying to pull information about Videos assigned to campaigns. Is it possible to pull that data without using VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. 

The reason we don't want to pull it via reporting is that we can't get information about videos which don't have any metrics yet. It caused that just after starting campaigns there is some period in which we don't get actual data about videos assigned to given campaign.

regards,

Marek

Hi,

I'm afraid Video Performance Report is the one to be used to get data for your Video Ads since Video campaigns are not supported in other API services. Have you tried setting the includeZeroImpressions header to true in the report request? This way videos which don't have impressions are also included in the response. 

Let me know if this works.
