Hello Oliver,
You can add columns for both AdGroup and Criteria to the Criteria report: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#criteria Setting filter on both AdGroupStatus and Status should return the correct data set for you. There is no way to achieve this with the AdGroupCriterion service though. -Danial, AdWords API Team. On Friday, September 28, 2012 1:22:52 PM UTC+4, Oliver wrote: > > Thanks for the suggestion.
