Hi all,
I noticed that newly created ads containing a headline or a description
line starting with whitespace will be trimmed automatically, e.g. when
creating a TextAd like so:
{'ad': {
'headline': ' My headline',
'description1': 'A description',
'description2': 'More description',
'displayUrl': 'example.com',
'url': 'http://www.example.com/'
}
}
the return value from AdGroupAdService will look like this (this is also
how the ad appears in the Web UI):
{'ad': {
'Ad_Type': 'TextAd',
'id': '123456789',
'headline': 'My headline',
'description1': ''A description',
'description2': 'More description',
'displayUrl': 'example.com',
'url': 'http://www.example.com/'
}
}
This is no problem per se, but when downloading an
ad-hoc AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT containing the specific ad, it will appear
with the headline as originally sent (i.e., with the whitespace in front),
which makes reconciliation difficult.
An example of this behavior can be found if you take a look at ad
ID 21729807532 in ad group ID 7463768572 within the account 464-903-6457.
Is this behavior intended? And if not, what are recommended practices to
handle this discrepancy?
Many thanks and best regards,
Dorian
