Is it possible to differentiate InStream vs. InDisplay results at reporting?

[tamas.h...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'd like to separate videoview results for Video campaigns in reporting.

Afaik they could be differentiated in adgroup level, since that's where I set it up to be either InStream or InDisplay.

There is a property called Ad Group Type ("adGroupRestrictionType") on the UI, what I'm after, but doesn't seem like that's available in the API.

Question is:

- Is there a method for differentiating this?

- Do you know any other tricks to find this out?

Thanks,

Tamas

Hello Tamas, Unfortunately, there is still no direct way to differentiate the in-stream and in-display ads through reporting. As a workaround, you could refer to this discussion. I hope this helps, and please let us know if you find any other issues. Thanks, Peter AdWords API Team

Hello Peter,

thank you! Had a look on the linked discussion. This was also something I was thinking about, but though it would lead to a lot digging down to Ad level.

(Best would be btw. to have this on the campaign report level. I mean, for my case, I'd need this information on that level somehow. I'll need to write a getInStreamViews and getInDisplayViews to recurse down anyway.)

Hope this will be implemented soon! :)

Thanks,

Tamas

Hi Tamas,

You are welcome. Based on the discussion the issue may have already been forwarded to the AdWords API engineering team. Although we still do not have information when or whether it will be available soon.

You could follow our blog for future updates and announcements.
