Hi, If you create radius targeting through the UI, you'll see that you get a Proximity object as I described. For example, I used the UI to create radius targeting around two areas in my campaign: postal code 11215, and Paris, France. This resulted in the CampaignCriterion list shown at the end of this message.
You could achieve the same thing through the API by using GeoLocationService to find the latitude & longitude for the partial address of interest. For example, for Paris, France, you'd submit a GeoLocationService request where you just populated cityName <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/GeoLocationService.Address#cityName> = "Paris" and countryCode <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/GeoLocationService.Address#countryCode> = "FR". <selector> <addresses> <cityName>Paris</cityName> <countryCode>FR</countryCode> </addresses> </selector> This would give you: <getResponse xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201402";> <rval> <geoPoint> <latitudeInMicroDegrees>48856614</latitudeInMicroDegrees> <longitudeInMicroDegrees>2352221</longitudeInMicroDegrees> </geoPoint> <address> <cityName>Paris</cityName> <countryCode>FR</countryCode> </address> <encodedLocation>...</encodedLocation> <GeoLocation.Type>GeoLocation</GeoLocation.Type> </rval> </getResponse> You could then use that GeoPoint to construct your Proximity object.
