Re: Unable to differentiate between Search Network with Display Select and Search Display Networks - Standard
Hi, v201402 exposes advertisingChannelTypehttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/CampaignService.Campaign#advertisingChannelType, that exposes the necessary details. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.

Hi Margaret, Campaign type is not exposed in AdWords API yet, that's why you are unable to distinguish these two campaign types. You need to wait for this feature to be available in the next AdWords API version. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
