Hi Google Ads API Community, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue we have encountered while attempting to retrieve data from various sources such as the account, budget, campaign, ad groups, and ads from an account using the Google Ads API. We have discovered that our query is breaking due to the presence of a special character that we were not previously supporting. The character in question is the Unicode Character 'NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+202F), which has caused particular problems with the budget name.
We have noticed that Google appends a date stamp, such as "created on 5/3/2023 12:08 PM," at the end of any portfolio bid strategy, which is the shared budget name for smart bidding campaigns. It is worth noting that this date stamp is not related to the name of the campaigns but rather to the shared budget name of certain budgets. [image: Screenshot at May 19 13-37-35.png] Upon investigation, we have determined that the error is triggered by the presence of this special character between the hours and "PM" in the shared budget name. Consequently, this issue has resulted in the failure of our reports, preventing us from processing metrics for clients who have encountered this problem. While we have managed to resolve the issue for budgets, we would greatly appreciate your assistance in determining if this special character appears elsewhere within the Google Ads API. By identifying any additional instances where this character might cause query failures, we can take proactive measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We value your expertise and look forward to any guidance or insights you can provide to help us resolve this issue and ensure smooth data retrieval for our clients.
