Hi Margaret, As Anash said, there is no way to get the general campaign type from the API, but I noticed that there is a new "DisplaySelect" boolean field on campaign performance reports which should give us the information we need for "search plus display select" campaigns.
Also, I think the change for ad group content bids which was due yesterday has nothing to do with this, since it was only for "display network only" campaigns. "Search plus" campaigns were launched last november and I have been getting the same content bid errors as you in the last weeks. And Anash, thank you for clearing that up. I had recently looked for campaign type in AdWords API (and failed) and it's good to have a confirmation.
