Thanks Matt. I do have follow-up questions that need your clarification: We know that Google has deprecated old DSA and moved to Expanded DSA. This happened in 2019 and there was a post about this migration: Google Ads Developer Blog: Upgrade Dynamic Search Ads in AdWords API and Google Ads API by March 6, 2019 (googleblog.com) <https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2019/02/upgrade-dynamic-search-ads-in-adwords.html>
Based on our understanding all the newly created DSA Ads are with Expanded DSA type, but the old DSA are still in Google's ads system and they might be still serving as of now. AdWords API doc also indicated that we can use different types to fetch DSA data: Ad Performance Report | AdWords API | Google Developers <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report#adtype> >From our side, we fetch both old DSA Ads as well as Expanded DSA type from AdWords API, so that we can get the full data set. However, after we move to Google Ads, we are not able to fetch old DSA anymore since this old DSA data is not supported in Google Ads. This is also confirmed by the previous reply from this forum, copy/paste here for reference " *Thank you for reaching out. The Dynamic Search Ads has been deprecated in the Google Ads API. You could refer to this blog post <https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2019/02/upgrade-dynamic-search-ads-in-adwords.html> for more information about migration of this type of ad to the Expanded Dynamic Search Ads. As it’s already deprecated, it’s not possible to retrieve this type of ad via the Google Ads API. The workaround is to retrieve them via the Adwords API.* " If Google doesn't provide the fetch API for those old DSA, it seems a feature miss. Please correct me if I am wrong.
