So if I understand the examples and documentation correctly, the following
bit of code should be a pretty efficient way to retrieve all the keywords
(criterion? as the technical term I guess) within a campaign:
Selector selector = builder.fields("Id", "AdGroupId", "KeywordMatchType",
"KeywordText").orderAscBy("AdGroupId").offset(offset).limit(PAGE_SIZE).in(
"CampaignId", campaignID.toString()).equals("CriteriaType", "KEYWORD"
).build();
Note that I've passed in a Long campaignID. Then you have an
adGroupCriterionService get the selector, and then use AdGroupCriterionPage
to go through all the AdGroupCriterion results. My question is whether
there is an efficient way to retrieve the campaign name and ad group name
for each keyword (I want to build a large json object that looks like
{"keyword":"text" , "adGroupName" : "name" , "campaignName":"name" } , {
keyword ... } etc.)
I current make one API call as shown above that gets all the keywords in a
campaign. But then it seems that I have to make individual get requests for
each keyword to get its adgroup name and its campaign name (this part is
accomplished with an AdGroupService, that returns an AdGroup object when
looking up an AdGroupId.) The problem is that doing the AdGroup lookup for
each keyword (since the criterion result only lets you get an adgroupID,
not an adGroupName), means that we'll be making an API call for each
keyword. Obviously this is very expensive and it's causing us to hit our
API usage limit (basic access).
Please let me know if I've missed something. Essentially I want to retrieve
campaign name, ad group name, and keyword text for all keywords in a
campaign. It seems relatively easy to get the IDs for some of these, but my
understanding is that it'll take thousands of API calls to get the names
from IDs if the client has thousands of keywords.
