How to filter out removed Ads when querying AdGroup?

[Juan Pablo Gardella]

Hello all,

I'm facing an issue when using Adwords API. I have an AdGroup with removed Ads that are easily to detect using web UI as shown below:

But if I want to retrieve all Ads from the AdGroup using java api ignoring the removed Ads, the API does not offer (AFAIK) a way to discard them. For example by querying using the API it returns 24 results instead of expected Ads enabled.

        <getResponse xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">
            <rval>
                <totalNumEntries>24</totalNumEntries>
                <Page.Type>AdGroupAdPage</Page.Type>
                <entries>
                    <adGroupId>34810610889</adGroupId>
                    <ad xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="TextAd">
                        <id>11684113....</id>
                        <displayUrl>.....</displayUrl>
                        <finalUrls>.....</finalUrls>
                        <type>TEXT_AD</type>
                        <Ad.Type>TextAd</Ad.Type>
                        <headline>xxxxx</headline>
                        <description1>xxxxxxxxxxxx</description1>
                        <description2>xxxxxxxx</description2>
                    </ad>
                    <status>ENABLED</status>
                    <baseCampaignId>64646...</baseCampaignId>
                </entries>

Do you know how I can filter out removed Ads using the latest API?

Thanks in advance,

Juan
