Reporting if the campaign/ad_group is using audience expansion

[Matan Shavit]

Hey, I want to use the google ads API reporting to find out if a campaign/ad_group is using audience expansion, 

Audience expansion - https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9496929

Today I cant find it in the docs. 

Thanks.

Hey, I don't see anything related to getting if an audience is configured to use the audience expansion feature. Can you give me an example?
Let's say I have the user_list ID; how would my query look?

Hi Matan,

The audience expansion setting does not appear to be supported in the API's resources and reports. Checking the Campaign resource and its audience_setting, no attribute is available for this type of audience targeting option. 

Since this is available in the UI, our team can create a feature request, subject for review. To do so, could you share your complete use case so we can pass these details along in the request?

Best regards,

Thank you for the replay, I'm a developer from AppsFlyer, and if one of our clients has campaigns running with Audiences from our platform we want to inform them that the A B testing they are performing also in our platform might be off since the audience is being enriched on google's side. 
Since the enrichment process might cause the control group to be targeted as well.

If possible we would like to have this information available in the API, 
Please let me know if a feature request can be opened.
Thanks.

Hi Matan,

Thanks for providing more information on this. The Ads API supports the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting at the ad group level, although this appears to be a different setting from the audience setting you referenced on the campaign level. I've gone ahead and submitted a feature request on your behalf. Relevant updates can be found in the release notes.

Regards,

Matt Google Ads API Team
