Get Campaign Type with reports? API Adwords

How do i get the right Campaing Type?

In Adwords the Campaing Types are:

Search Network with Display Select
Search Network only
Display Network only
Shopping
Video

But when i call through the API, the only available results are for AdvertisingChannelType;

 UNKNOWN    
 SEARCH 
 DISPLAY    
 SHOPPING   
 VIDEO  
 MULTI_CHANNEL

Let's say "Search Network with Display Select" is Multi-Channel, but im trying the api and i'm getting :

"advertisingChannel": "Search"

on a Campaign that is : 

Search Network with Display Select

Im using:

$reportDefinition->reportType = 'CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT';

From the AdWords API Group:

You can only detect this by using CampaignService and checking for Campaign objects where:

advertisingChannelType is SEARCH NetworkSetting.targetContentNetwork is false (for Search only campaigns) or true (for Search network with display select campaigns)

Some other options/tips are:

You could include the AdNetworkType1 field in the report to detect if a campaign has impressions on the Display network. You could add labels to your search only or search with display select campaigns, then use those labels in your reporting filters.
