Hi Peter, Thanks for your answer and for taking my feedback into consideration.
Regarding your comment: "*As for your other concern, please note that the Google Ads AP's reports <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/overview?hl=en> are still available and should include the attributes, metrics, and segments data, of a given Google Ads entity or resource.*" >> We are aware of it, but regarding the information available for the AdWords API (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports) there are 3 relevant missing points in the Google Ads API documentation: 1. There are no field display names as shown in the UI (also missing in GoogleAdsFieldService) 2. There are no enum values' display names as shown in the UI (also missing in GoogleAdsFieldService, and as far as I've been able to see, that info is not available anywhere) 3. There are no downloadable CSV files for each resource, so if you want to exploit the information programmatically your are force to parse and process the online documentation (which can be an error promned process) Regarding my comment in my previous message: "*Another thing I'm missing in the service GoogleAdsFieldService is that for a given resource it does provide segments and metrics, but not its own attributes. We have been exploring the descriptor at resource level in each class (for instance com.google.ads.googleads.v9.resources.Campaign.getDescriptor()) and then getting the fields, but this way there are significant differences with the attributes that you can find in the online doc for the resource (for instance https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/campaign <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/campaign>).*" >> As the service GoogleAdsFieldService doesn't offer the attributes of a given resource, we were trying to programmatically get the fields of a resource using the descriptors in the Java class of the resource, for instance com.google.ads.googleads.v9.resources.Campaign.getDescriptor(). However, if you compare the attributes of a resource obtained that way, with the list of attributes of a resource you can obtain from the online doc, for instance https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/campaign, you will notice that the list of attributes is not exactly the same. For instance for this particular case of the campaign resource (though it happens with many more), the following attributes obtained from the Java class are referenced exactly the same way in the online doc: campaign.real_time_bidding_setting, campaign.network_settings, campaign.hotel_setting, campaign.dynamic_search_ads_setting, campaign.shopping_setting, campaign.targeting_setting, campaign.geo_target_type_setting, campaign.local_campaign_setting, campaign.app_campaign_setting, campaign.vanity_pharma, campaign.selective_optimization, campaign.optimization_goal_setting, campaign.tracking_setting, campaign.commission, campaign.manual_cpc, campaign.maximize_conversions, campaign.maximize_conversion_value, campaign.target_cpa, campaign.target_impression_share, campaign.target_roas, campaign.target_spend, campaign.percent_cpc I don't understand why there is such a misalignment with the attributes names, maybe I'm missing something. As a summary, my main concern by now with the Google Ads API is that there is not an exhaustive and complete inventory of metadata for each resource, as both the service GoogleAdsFieldServic and the online documentation (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/overview?hl=en) are missing key parts.
