Hi Peter, thank you for your answer but you've suggested again to use report(s) to get the information about entities and their hierarchy. I wonder if it's possible to get *all* this information using *service* objects and *get */ *query *methods (except for the documented exceptions such as video campaigns)? If not, then what is the purpose of those *get* / *query* methods? In my case, there is an account with 50 campaigns 48 of which are video. OK, I've got 2 campaigns from the CampaignService and 50 from the Campaign Performance Report. Now I want to retrieve AdGroups, and get them for the non-video campaigns. Same for AdGroup Ads. Thus currently, I can't link ~1800 ads to the corresponding AdGroup Ads / AdGroups / Campaigns. Google Ads API said <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/overview#differences_from_the_google_ads_ui> that "Not all campaign types in the Google Ads UI are supported in the API, such as Video Campaigns <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6340491>. Video campaign metrics are available for retrieval in the API. However, *video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the API*, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups." It's somewhat confusing because I want to get some descriptional data, not metrics. And Google Ads API should be enabled explicitly. So I'm still not sure if the Google Ads API can meet my expectations.
