How do I get Device through API for Automatic Placement Report?

[Shane S]

Automatic placements seem to have recently disappeared from the Placement Performance report pulled through the API.

 

I found the new Automatic Placement report but the documentation doesn't include Device, like the Placement Performance report.

The strange thing is I can see Device segmentation through the Adwords UI, so I know it's there. 

How can I access the Device in the Automatic Placement Report by using the API?

Hi Shane,

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to segment the Automatic Placement Report by Device through AdWords API.

Please check our blog for any announcements regarding this feature.

That's what I figured.

And were the automatic placements removed from the Placement Performance Report?

Hi Shane,

You can get information on Automatic Placements using the Placement Performance Report and Automatic Placements Performance Report.

When using the Placement Performance Report, the Id field for Automatic Placements will come out as "--".
