I am creating a Google Ads campaign via API version v201710, and the
campaign is creating fine. But, if I try to SET the Content Exclusion to
"Sensitive social issues" by Google Ad SDK, it's not working.
I tried to debug the issue and found that the this field ("Sensitive social
issues") has constant value as "UNKNOWN" in ContentLabelType. It's nowhere
written like that in the documentation. Docs:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201708/CampaignCriterionService.ContentLabelType
To find out about this, first I setup a campaign's Content Exclusion as
"Sensitive social issues" via Google Adwords dashboard (e.g.:
https://www.screencast.com/t/hi7rLnTa )
Then, I tried to retrieve the targeting values of this Campaign by Google
Ads SDK (API), and I got "UNKNOWN" as ContentLabelType value for "Sensitive
social issues".
The bigger problem is that UNKNOWN value is read-only, it can't be set.
It's written in Google's documentation, and WSDL file too.
Anyways, I tried the same by Google Ad SDK for "Sensitive social issues" in
Content Exclusions via API to set it like this:
https://www.screencast.com/t/hi7rLnTa.
This is my code for for this, which should not work, and it did not work,
because Google does not allow UNKNOWN.
$campaignCriteria = [];
$addContentLabel = array(
ContentLabelType::TRAGEDY,
ContentLabelType::UNKNOWN,
ContentLabelType::PROFANITY,
ContentLabelType::ADULTISH,
ContentLabelType::JUVENILE
);
foreach ($addContentLabel as $item){
$ContentLabelObj = new ContentLabel();
$ContentLabelObj->setContentLabelType($item);
$campaignCriteria[] = new NegativeCampaignCriterion($campaignId,"null",
$ContentLabelObj);
}
$operations = [];
foreach ($campaignCriteria as $campaignCriterion) {
$operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operation->setOperand($campaignCriterion);
$operations[] = $operation;
}
try
{
$result = $campaignCriterionService->mutate($operations);
foreach ($result->getValue() as $campaignCriterion) {
printf(
"Campaign targeting criterion with ID %d and type '%s' with value
'%s' was added.\n",
$campaignCriterion->getCriterion()->getId(),
$campaignCriterion->getCriterion()->getType(),
$campaignCriterion->getCriterion()->getContentLabelType());
}
}
catch(ApiException $apiException)
{
print_r($apiException);
throw new Exception('Error: ' . $apiException->getErrors()[0]->getReason
());
}
My question is what constant value should I use for setting "Content
Exclusions" to "Sensitive social issues" in my campaigns via API.
Can anyone please help?
