Empty Ad Group Asset

[Lonny Kapelushnik]

I am trying to get a list of assets in an ad group. When I run the Ad Group Asset report it _always_ returns empty.

Here is the query I run:

SELECT ad_group_asset.resource_name, ad_group_asset.ad_group, asset.id, asset.resource_name FROM ad_group_asset WHERE ad_group_asset.ad_group = '*snip*'

Am I doing something wrong / misunderstanding something?

Morning - have you received my private message? I'm not sure how Google Groups works, but I'm not seeing it in the thread.

Hi Lonny,

Thank you for your reply.

I can see that my colleague (Mark) already reached out to you on your email address for your private replies. However, I’m pasting the response already sent below:

“Hello Lonny,

Thanks for getting back to us.

I've tried recreating your query (removed those filters) and I wasn't able to retrieve any result. I've also checked on the account (7073000478); however, couldn't find any asset associated to an adgroup. Please note that the ad_group_asset view returns a link between an ad group and an asset. This is the reason why no result was returned on your query. In addition to that and according to this guide (AdGroupAsset ), extension will serve in this ad group.

Regards,”

Ah ok I see it in my SPAM. Thank you.

I am a bit unclear on what to do though. I ultimately want to run a report to get all the ad assets that have been rejected. This ad_group_asset report was the only one I saw that could return assets, but none of the assets are associated with ad groups? So they are associated with ads? Where is the report for those?

Hello Lonny,

Thanks for getting back to us.

When working with assets, you can check on this guide for your reference. If those assets have been associated to either a campaign, adgroup or customer, you can fetch its attributes through their respective views as mentioned here. For ad-level assets, you can refer to ad_group_ad_asset_view; however, this only returns information for assets that are related to App ads.

As far as I'm aware I can only attach assets to ads, not ad groups or campaigns. Correct me if I'm wrong...I'm just not seeing how to do that in the API.

Ultimately I think my question is: How can I query assets approval status and performance that are attached to ads? This is for responsive display ads so the ad_group_ad_asset_view won't work.

[Lonny Kapelushnik]

It seems like ad_group_ad_asset_view is exactly what I want, but for whatever reason it only works for app ads...

Hello Lonny,

Thanks for getting back to us.

You can refer to the available services below when creating assets for Campaigns and AdGroups.

• CampaignAssetService
• AdGroupAssetService

With regard to retrieving assets approval status and performance, you can make use of these available fields (performance_label and approval_status). As mentioned on the release notes (v9), App engagement ads and Responsive search ads have been added as additional ad types to support for reporting the performance of ad_group_ad_asset_view.

Since responsive display ads is still not included on this, allow me to raise a feature request for this; however, there is no guarantee that it will be supported in the API soon. With that, we recommend that you keep an eye to our blog for updates and new releases.

Regards,

[Lonny Kapelushnik]

Mark - thanks for the update. I'll look into those services and look forward to having responsive display ads added to the supported ad types for ad_group_ad_asset_view.
