Can I extract the individual YouTube video IDs my ad plays on?

[Jeremy Horne]

Hello,

I'm trying to do some work to optimise some YouTube video campaigns and I was wondering if it is possible to extract the YouTube video ids for the videos that my ad is shown on. I can get the channel ID through the placement report, but would love to know which individual videos the ad has played on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for reaching out.

Using the ad_group_ad report, you should be able to extract the following fields :

ad.app_ad.youtube_videos
ad.app_ad.youtube_videos.asset

You can also use the asset report next, to extract the asset.youtube_video_asset.youtube_video_id. Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I am actually still using the AdWords API as opposed to the newer Ads API referenced below. Do you know if this information is also available in the AdWords API and if so, which tables it is in?

 

Many thanks,

 

Jeremy
