Performance metrics and configuration attributes for product targets. Product targets were used by Google Ads PLA campaigns to specify which products in a Google Merchant Center account should trigger Product Listing Ads (shopping ads) to appear in related searches on Google. Product targets and PLA campaigns have been replaced by Google Ads Shopping campaigns. From DS, you can still request reports for historical metrics that were attributed to your PLA campaigns before the upgrade to Shopping campaigns.
This report can only be returned by an asynchronous request (that is, via the Reports.request() method).
