How do I filter by campaign type?

[Dawson Reid]

Hi all,

I was wondering how I would go about retrieving only campaigns that are either search xor display. Alternatively, how would I check if a campaign is a search or a display campaign?

All the best,
Dawson.

Hi,

Will this help?

 

function main() {  

  var report = AdWordsApp.report("SELECT CampaignName, AdNetworkType1 " +

        "FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT " +

        "DURING TODAY");

  

  

  var rows = report.rows()

    while (rows.hasNext()) {

    var row = rows.next();

      Logger.log(row['CampaignName'] + ": - " + row['AdNetworkType1']) }

  

  

  }

I believe that will. It is a hacky solution, but nice to know I can do that. Thank you :)

Hi Dawson

Whilst not mentioned in the docs that it can be done this way, I use this code which seems to work

  var campaignIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
        .withCondition('Status = "ENABLED"')
        .withCondition("AdvertisingChannelType = SEARCH")  //Only check Search campaigns
        .get();

Hi

And how about retrieving campaign subtypes, such as dynamic search?

Hi David,

It is not possible to retrieve dynamic search campaigns.  These are the available campaign subtypes.

Any suggestions for how to filter those campaigns (and/or search queries and/or ads in them)?

Hi David,

You should be able to accomplish this by using the following snippet.  However, as established, you won't be able to filter by Dynamic Search campaigns using this technique.

function main() {

  var campaignIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
        .withCondition('Status = "ENABLED"')
        .withCondition("AdvertisingChannelType = SEARCH")  //Only check Search campaigns

        .withCondition("AdvertisingChannelSubType = SEARCH_MOBILE_APP")
        .get();
 
  while (campaignIterator.hasNext()){
    var camp = campaignIterator.next();
    Logger.log(camp.getName());
}
}

Alternatively, you could use labels if you want to filter by these campaigns.  You would apply a label on each of the Dynamic Search campaigns and then run the following:

function main() {

  var campaignIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns()
        .withCondition('Status = "ENABLED"')

 
        .withCondition("LabelNames CONTAINS_ANY ['Xmas', 'New Year']")
        .get();
 
  while (campaignIterator.hasNext()){
    var camp = campaignIterator.next();
    Logger.log(camp.getName());
}
}

Thanks all for the input! This is great, and exactly what I was looking for. In my case I was hoping to pull only display campaigns.

Looking into this further lead me to finding the AdWords Query Language (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/awql) which is great! As well, query-able fields can be found here - https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selectorfields#v201601-LabelService

This discussion has greatly improved my ability to interact with Ad Words entities so thank you all :)

Here's a function that returns the campaign type by campaign name:

```

function getCampaignType(campaign_name){

  

  Logger.log('getting campaign type for ' + campaign_name);

  var report = AdWordsApp.report(

        "SELECT CampaignName, AdvertisingChannelType " +

        "FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT " + 

        "WHERE CampaignName = '" + campaign_name + "'");

  

  

  var row = report.rows().next();

  Logger.log('campaign type ' +  row['AdvertisingChannelType']);

  

  return row['AdvertisingChannelType'];

  

}

```

I want to get campaigns of SEARCH type that have "Display network" turned on.
How can I recognize this type of  campaigns? 
I see that for both types I get  type=Search  and subtype =--  in the performance report.

Hi Damian,

 

Thank you for the information you have shared privately. I will reach out to the rest of the team regarding your concern. I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.

Hi Damian,

 

Upon consulting, there is no corresponding attribute available in the API's Campaign object with regard to the Network Campaign Settings in the UI. For example, a Search-only campaign created via the API will always be an All features campaign from the UI perspective. See Campaign subtypes section in this link for reference.
