How do I list Audiences with Microsoft Advertising API?

Hi!

GetAudiencesByIds' Documentation says parameter AudienceIds is optional, and that if it's sent empty or null I should receive all available audiences. However, I'm receiving an empty list.

This is the soap body that I'm trying out:

<soapenv:Body>
      <v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest>
         <v13:Type>RemarketingList</v13:Type>
         <v13:ReturnAdditionalFields xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
      </v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>

When I request for a specific audience with its id, I get it included in the response correctly.

   <soapenv:Body>
      <v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest>
         <v13:AudienceIds>
             <arr:long>817341276</arr:long>
        </v13:AudienceIds>
         <v13:Type>RemarketingList</v13:Type>
         <v13:ReturnAdditionalFields xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
      </v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>

What is the correct way to request all the audiences?

Something interesting, is that if I use InMarket instead of RemarketingList as the required type, I get 998 audiences that I haven't created in my account. They seem to be system audiences.

<soapenv:Body> <v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest> <v13:Type>InMarket</v13:Type> <v13:ReturnAdditionalFields xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/> </v13:GetAudiencesByIdsRequest> </soapenv:Body>

Hi again, Is this service buggy? I'm revisiting this and realized that passing the audience id actually doesn't work. It fails with the Message "Audience Id do not match audience type." I've tried with all possible types. Please help. I'd like to implement a get or create functionality based on the audience name, for what I would need either a service that allows me to search by name (which I don't see), or listing all existing audiences with this service, which appears not to be working correctly.
