TARGET_SPEND Bidding Strategies not appearing on Campaign view - Google Ads API

[Will Schymik]

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve all campaigns in my account and their associated bidding strategy using Google Ads API however I am running into issues with specifically the TARGET_SPEND (Maximize Click) bidding strategy. I am selecting the bidding_strategy attributed resource as well as the "bidding_strategy" resource field. For all campaigns these both return the associated bidding strategy, however for campaigns associated with a TARGET_SPEND strategy they are empty. The resource field "bidding_strategy_type" does however show that there is an associated strategy of type TARGET_SPEND, however I cannot see which strategy it is. Example output:

campaign {

  resource_name: "customers/xxx/campaigns/xxx"

  status: REMOVED

  ad_serving_optimization_status: OPTIMIZE

  advertising_channel_type: SEARCH

  serving_status: SERVING

  bidding_strategy_type: TARGET_SPEND

  dynamic_search_ads_setting {

    domain_name: xxx

    language_code: xxx

  }

  name: xxx

  id: xxx

  start_date: xxx

  end_date: xxx

}

campaign_budget {

  resource_name: "customers/xxx/campaignBudgets/xxx"

  id: xxx

}

I am able to retrieve these strategies from the bidding_strategy view however I cannot get the campaign relationships from that direction.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Will,

So that our team may take a closer look, could you also share the generated and complete request and response logs, with the request-id? 

If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,
