Hello, 

I would like to create an AdWords script that will generate a report that will show me which ad groups use the keyword setting for audience and which use the keyword setting for content. 

I'm speaking about this setting:

Is this possible through AdWords scripts?

Thanks
Aaron

Hello Aaron,

Unfortunately, the Keyword setting field is currently unavailable in AdWords Scripts, so there is no way of telling what setting the keyword has.

Please check our blog regarding any announcements.

Is this the same case for the AdWords API?

Thanks

Hi Aaron,

Yes, unfortunately, this is unavailable in AdWords API as well.

Is this data that a Google rep could report on?

I manage a number of accounts and this setting is so deep in the configuration that it makes it impossible to figure out which ad group is using it. 

I would love to have this in the web interface but I suspect that's asking too much at this time. 

Would you be able to ask or suggest this be exposed at the scripting level? Wouldn't that be easier?

Thanks

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

What I can do is pass a feature request to the team and update this thread if the feature is added.

Why? If this can be done through the API, I would also be interested.

Hi Aaron,

You may reach out to the AdWords API team with regards to your concern. Kindly create a new thread in their forum since this forum is exclusively for AdWords Scripts only.

But would this be possible to do this through AdWords scripts by way of the AdWords API?

Hi Aaron,

Currently, this is not yet possible in AdWords Scripts. If you have further clarifications on this, please create a new forum thread so we can track it better.

Thanks,
