The objects we sync from your Google Ads account, the exact fields we read for each, and how they map into Medialake.
Medialake syncs your Google Ads account structure (including accounts under a manager/MCC), the campaign hierarchy — both traditional campaigns and Performance Max — the image and YouTube assets behind your ads, and their performance metrics. Everything is read-only, via Google's official Google Ads API. We only read the fields listed on this page, nothing else.
Objects at a glance
Google Ads object | What it is | Why we sync it |
An account that manages other accounts | Lets you connect once and browse every account under it | |
An individual Google Ads account | Captures the hierarchy of metrics and creatives within the accounts you give access to | |
Top level of the hierarchy | Captures the hierarchy, so metrics and creatives roll up the same way as in Google Ads | |
Grouping of ads within a campaign | Captures the hierarchy, so metrics and creatives roll up the same way as in Google Ads | |
The individual ad | The object metrics relate to — performance is captured per ad | |
Performance Max's equivalent of an ad group | The object metrics relate to for Performance Max campaigns | |
A reusable piece of creative (image, video, text) | Medialake ingests image and YouTube video assets as files |
Manager & customer accounts
We list the accounts the connecting person can access — directly or through a manager account (MCC) — so you can choose what to sync. For each synced customer account we store its ID, name, and billing currency.
Fields we read:customer.id, customer.descriptive_name, customer.currency_code, and for accounts under a manager: customer_client.client_customer, customer_client.descriptive_name, customer_client.manager, customer_client.level, customer_client.status
Campaigns, Ad groups & Ads
We read the campaign tree for each synced account, preserving the same hierarchy you see in Google Ads. Two structures exist:
Traditional campaigns: campaign → ad group → ad. For each level we read
idandname, plus the ad'stypeand its asset references across ad formats (responsive search/display, video, app, Demand Gen, local, and legacy display ads) — these tell us which media each ad uses.Performance Max campaigns: campaign → asset group. We read
id,name, andstatusat each level, plus the assets attached to the group.
Assets
Google Ads assets of type image and YouTube video become files in Medialake:
Image assets are ingested via their full-size image URL, with dimensions, file size, and MIME type as metadata.
YouTube-hosted videos become video files — carrying the video ID, title, and thumbnail from YouTube.
Fields we read:asset.id, asset.name, asset.type, asset.final_urls, asset.image_asset.full_size.url, asset.image_asset.full_size.width_pixels / height_pixels, asset.image_asset.file_size, asset.image_asset.mime_type, asset.youtube_video_asset.youtube_video_id, asset.youtube_video_asset.youtube_video_title, asset.call_to_action_asset.call_to_action
Performance metrics
Metrics are captured per ad (traditional campaigns) and per asset group (Performance Max), at a lifetime level plus weekly buckets for trends over time. The full list and how each maps to Google's fields is in the Metrics Reference.
