                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Besides, I set includeZeroImpressions request header to true for including the zero impressions. I can get the zero impressions data row like: Devices streaming video content to TV screens device type.

But there is no report data row for Other device type.

Answer 1

Google have discontinued the "Other" device type, or rather more accurately, renamed it to TV Screens.

All devices are now categorised as Computers, Tablets, Mobile Phones, or TV Screens. This is to make it simpler to understand, since any traffic that any traffic that doesn't immediately fall into these categories is going to be negligible.

This can be demonstrated by filtering any data through the Google Ads web interface using the Device filter. The options it gives you are the only options there are.
