The code from the example doesn't work

[Igor Sayutin]

I took the code from the example on this page and decided to run it
Campaigns  |  Google Ads Scripts  |  Google for Developers

function getAllCampaigns() {
  // AdsApp.campaigns() will return all campaigns that are not removed by
  // default.
  const campaignIterator = AdsApp.campaigns().get();
  console.log(`Total campaigns found : ${campaignIterator.totalNumEntities()}`);
  return campaignIterator;
}
Response: Total campaigns found : 0
But despite the fact that I have many campaigns and have admin rights, this code shows that I have no campaigns.
What's wrong with that?

could it be you only have non-search and non-dispay campaigns in your account?

you are using a standard campaign selector, only search and display campaigns are supported in the standard campaign selector.

For other campaign types you should use the specific selectors (such as ShoppingCampaignSelector for shopping ,  VideoCampaignSelector for video campaigns, and PerformanceMaxCampaignSelector for Performance Max campaigns).
