Reporting and optimization

As with other campaign types, you can use GoogleAdsService.SearchStream to retrieve attributes and performance metrics for Discovery campaigns.

SELECT
  campaign.id,
  campaign.status,
  campaign.bidding_strategy_type
FROM campaign
WHERE campaign.advertising_channel_type = DISCOVERY

To retrieve clicks in reporting for Discovery campaigns, filter by click_type of CROSS_NETWORK.

Discovery campaigns have a specialized asset type for Discovery carousel ads. Use GoogleAdsService.SearchStream to retrieve these assets.

  asset.discovery_carousel_card_asset.square_marketing_image_asset,
  asset.discovery_carousel_card_asset.portrait_marketing_image_asset,
  asset.discovery_carousel_card_asset.headline,
  asset.discovery_carousel_card_asset.call_to_action_text
FROM asset
WHERE asset.type = DISCOVERY_CAROUSEL_CARD

There are two types of Discovery ads available. Use these queries with GoogleAdsService.SearchStream to retrieve them.
