Hi Peter, As I have already explained earlier in this thread; No, this is not helpful at all:
"The problem with looking up fields in the api documentation is that adwords type names are sometimes legacy, and Google ads type names are not the same as the ones visible in Google ads UI at all." To give an example: until recently we thought "Express" Campaigns were exclusive to the Adwords API, while "SMART" was exclusive to Google Ads, until we learned that some campaigns come through as "Express" when using Adwords and "SMART" when using Google Ads. At no point does the documentation mention these kinds of behaviours. Moreover, we would need this info in terms that a Google Ads UI user can understand since we need it to advice our customers which one of our API solutions to choose. best regards Theodor Sandström Developer @ Funnel On Wednesday, March 17, 2021 at 6:49:31 AM UTC+1 adsapiforumadvisor wrote: > Hi Theo, > > Thank you for the additional details.
