ad type name

[Yonatan]

Hi,

Previously, it was possible to retrieve the name of an ad type using the following code:

ga_service = client.get_service("GoogleAdsService")
perf_dict = defaultdict(dict)
query = f"""
  SELECT
    ad_group_ad.ad.system_managed_resource_source,
    ad_group_ad.ad.type,
.....
response = ga_service.search_stream(search_request)
for batch in response:
    for row in batch.results:
         ad_type_name = row.ad_group_ad.ad.type_.name.upper()

However, this code is no longer functioning and produces the following error:
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'name'

Is there an alternative method to retrieve the value?

I understand that you are having trouble with the upper() function. Please note that this is a Python client library function.
