Criteria Performance Report - no data for Videos

[AdWordsApiUser]

The documentation for Criteria Performance Report mentions that the enum for CriteriaType may take on values YOUTUBE_VIDEO as well as YOUTUBE_CHANNEL. However, for a youtube campaign with over 10K impressions every day,YOUTUBE_VIDEO and YOUTUBE_CHANNEL seem to be missing alltogether. In fact, all the rows in the report for the youtube campaign report 0 impressions. The rows for the youtube campaign mention criteria type AGE, GENDER and a few others, but not YOUTUBE_VIDEO or YOUTUBE_CHANNEL.

Query:

SELECT Id,AdGroupId,AdGroupName,CampaignId,CampaignName,Criteria,CriteriaType,Impressions FROM CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT WHERE Status IN ['ENABLED','PAUSED'] DURING 20170208,20170214

Hi,

Have you added YOUTUBE_VIDEO or YOUTUBE_CHANNEL type placements to target your video Campaigns? Could you provide your clientCustomerId or the CampaignId so I can take a look?

Hi, 

This campaign does not have any YOUTUBE_VIDEO or YOUTUBE_CHANNEL criteria. To get the performance for your video ads, you need to use Video Performance Report. You can also you Campaign Performance Report and filter for results where AdvertisingChannelType is VIDEO. To target YouTube videos or channels you need to use AdGroupCriterionService to add YouTubeVideo or YouTubeChannel criterion respectively.
