NO STATS FOR SEARCH CAMPAIGNS WITH DISPLAY EXPANSION

Google announced that starting the week of Feb 17, 2019, we will no longer return display keyword stats for Search campaigns with Display Expansion in reports and script data.

Why: Search campaigns with Display Expansion historically used keywords to perform Display Expansion. As we strive to improve targeting for Display Expansion, it is no longer possible to meaningfully and consistently attribute stats to keywords. As a result, this view has been removed from the Google Ads UI. The changes in this announcement aim to create parity between APIs and UI.
