Hi, The search terms are NOT available on the search_term_view for Performance Max campaigns. Search terms can be found by accessing a single campaign (filter by campaign ID) and a single campaign_search_term_insight (campaign_search_term_insight.id) in the campaign_search_term_insight view <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v16/campaign_search_term_insight> . In order to get all search terms you would need to iterate over the list of search term insights (these are the search categories you see in the UI) for a particular campaign. Please be aware that similarly to the PMAX search term report in the UI - the data is quite confusing, and is cannot be aggregated.
My follow up question is - is there a way to avoid the iteration? This process becomes almost impossible for campaigns with large numbers of categories. Has anybody been able to find a smarter way of doing this?
