Hey there, we are currently retrieving the ad group bid modifier using the Google Ads API: ad_group_bid_modifier <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v10/ad_group_bid_modifier>
We are seeing the following behaviour regarding the bid modifier vs. AdWords UI 1. When setting the bid modifier via AdWords UI to 0% we are receiving a float value of 1 via Ads API -> this is expected! 2. When setting the bid modifier via Adwords UI to -100%, we are receiving a float value of 0 via Ads API -> this is also expected since we are actually opting out. 3. When not setting the bid modifier via AdWords UI, leading to seeing just a dash ( - ) on the modifier setting on the UI, we are receiving a float value of 0 via Ads API. -> This is NOT expected since we are NOT opting out (confirmed due to impressions adding up). Taking into consideration the documentation: "The modifier must be in the range: 0.1 - 10.0. The range is 1.0 - 6.0 for PreferredContent. *Use 0 to opt out of a Device type*." When retrieving the modifier via the old AdWords API reports we were previously getting a value of '- -' for the case 3. above. --- So the question in the end is, how can we correctly differentiate between the cases 2. and 3. Meaning how to know if a modifier is currently opt out or just not set? The expected behaviour when not setting a bid modifier would be the same as to setting the modifier to 0%. In both cases returning a float value of 1.
