CampaignService returning an empty budget object for my test account

[mike.s...@zapier.com]

Heyo all --

I'm currently experimenting with making some API requests to the Google AdWords API (looking at the docs here). In particular, I am looking at the getCampaigns part of CampaignService. I'm not using any of the provided clients due to the fact that the company I work for does everything in Node JS - so I was trying to see how the APIs could work if I just made typical SOAP requests over HTTP.

So far it's worked pretty well - but the get call to CampaignService is returning an empty budget object and I'm a bit perplexed as to why. Here's some more technical details of my call:

The request:

POST /api/adwords/cm/v201809/CampaignService?wsdl HTTP/1.1
Host: adwords.google.com
Content-Type: application/soap+xml
Authorization: Bearer <redacted>

In the Google Ads UI, in my test account, I created a campaign and I set up a budget and so on and so forth. You can see this here (sorry tried to post a photo rather than linking to the photo but the Google Groups UI seemed to be displeased with that). You can see that there is a budget allocated there - yet nothing shows up in the response. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

If I can provide any further details please let me know :) - thanks for your time!

Hi Mike,

You can use the Amount field when retrieving the budget amount allocated to your campaign. You can include the said field in your SELECTOR when you retry your request. For more information on which fields you can retrieve for your campaign, you can refer to this guide.

Thanks and regards,

Peter
