AdWords API Re: "There was a problem contacting the site keyword server."
Hello Steve, I've heard back from the engineer who was investigating this, and they've identified what they believe to be the root cause and have submitted code for a patch. I'm afraid that I don't know the exact time that the patched code will be deployed to production, but I wanted to give you a heads-up that it's in the pipeline.

AdWords API Re: Exact Match - All Languages - All Countries - AvgSearchVolume
HI Joe, although you can't comment on whether specific functionality will or will not be added to a future release of the AdWords API, a lot of developers are asking for this exact match feature for the Adwords API, including myself. Please can you discuss internally to add this to your roadmap, request list? An api should handle all features and this exact match data are vital for any serious Adwords bidding tool.

AdWords API how __equalsCalc works ?? since the equals function already has keyword synchronized
private java.lang.Object __equalsCalc = null;
//
public synchronized boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof TextAd)) return false;
TextAd other = (TextAd) obj;
if (obj == null) return false;
//
if (this == obj) return true;
//
if (__equalsCalc != null) {
return (__equalsCalc == obj);
//若__equalsCalc不为空，返回__equalsCalc与obj是否相等
}
__equalsCalc = obj;
//
boolean _equals;
//
_equals = super.equals(obj) &&
((this.description1==null && other.getDescription1()
==null) ||
(this.description1!=null &&
this.description1.equals(other.getDescription1( &&
((this.description2==null && other.getDescription2()
==null) ||
(this.description2!=null &&
this.description2.equals(other.getDescription2( &&
((this.headline==null && other.getHeadline()==null) ||
(this.headline!=null &&
this.headline.equals(other.getHeadline(;
__equalsCalc = null;
return _equals;
}

This is fixed now. I needed to change to this:
my @addcriterion = $criterion_service->addCriteria
($criterion_keyword);
$keyword_id = $addcriterion[0]->id;

I wanted to give everyone advanced warning that the AdWords API Sandbox's database is scheduled to be refreshed on Friday, April 24.

AdWords API Error while creating a Campaign with ContentTargeting in Sandbox environment
Hi All, API Versio Used: V13. We are trying to create a Campaign with contentTargeting set to : SelectedPlacements networkTargeting set to all the three NetworkTypes* GoogleSearch, * SearchNetwork, * ContentNetwork. I can save the campaign without any issue using the "addCampaign" method. When I check the returned campaign object, I find that the contentTargeting is set to All Placements and, the networkTargeting becomes SearchNetwork and ContentNetwork. As an offshoot of this, I am unable to create an Adgroup of placement type. I searched on net and also on the archives of this group, but did not find a solution that works, or a satisfatory answer.

AdWords API Re: Time outs - anyone else having a problem?
Hello Phil, Could you elaborate a bit on the timeouts you're seeing? Do you have any indication whether the timeouts are imposed in your client code (e.g. your HTTP connection library closes the connection after X seconds), or whether your client code keeps waiting but the connection is closed on our end? Is there a specific number of seconds after the request was made after which the timeout always occurs?

AdWords API Re: Getting 502 on https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v13/KeywordToolService?wsdl
Hello, How reproducible are those 502 errors for you? Are there any specific sets of keywords that consistently fail? How long does it take in between your initial request and the time you get the 502 back? There was an earlier report of 502 errors, mainly involving requests to the ReportService, that the engineering team attempted to address with a configuration change involving how requests were passed from our public-facing HTTP servers to the internal AdWords API servers. That did improve the situation, but based on our internal logs we are still seeing a (smaller) percentage of 502 HTTP error responses being generated. The current line of investigation is whether the 502s are associated with requests that take very long for the AdWords API to finish processing (on the order of several minutes). ReportService requests are particularly susceptible to this, as it's possible to request a legitimate report that is complicated enough to take several minutes to validate and schedule. I'd like to hear more about what kind of requests you're making to the KeywordToolService to see if you might be receiving a 502 back for a similar reason.

AdWords API Re: same request different responses
Hello Dirk,
Could you clarify what you mean by an "empty response"? Are you
actually getting a SOAP response back in those situations?
What would be most useful in debugging this issue is if you could
take a look at the SOAP response (assuming you're getting one) and let
us know what the value of the requestId SOAP response header is. That
way we can look up your specific request in our logs and see if
there's anything amiss or whether you ran into a one-off issue.
Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team

Re: Starting with AdWords API using Eclipse (Java)
Hello, Are you using the AdWords API Java client library (http:// code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java/) or are you generating your own classes directly using Axis? I'd recommend trying the Java client library as it should simplify things for you, and it ships with example code for common operations. If you are already using the Java client library and you're running into trouble, could you elaborate on what you're seeing either here or in the issue tracker on code.google.com?

AdWords API Ad Scheduling: Need more SchedulingIntervals
Hi I read with great interest the post on the AdWords API blog about Ad Scheduling: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2009/04/ad-scheduling-its-all-about-timing.html I thought this would be a great mechanism for day part bid managing campaigns in AdWords. Unfortunately it's not clear anywhere in the API documentation or the post that you can only create six ad schedules per day until you get the API error: "The ad schedule must not have more than 6 intervals in a single day." This would be a great element of functionality if you manage all 24 hours of all 7 days individually. I can't think of a way to do day part bidding without having to bid every hour on keywords. I'm saving on quota by bidding on only the high volume keywords every hour, but this is still tens of thousands of API calls a day vs a hand full with ad scheduling. I know you can't comment on future developments, but hopefully you could put this post under the nose of someone in the development team!

AdWords API Re: Ad Scheduling: Need more SchedulingIntervals
Hello David, AdWords itself imposes the limitation of six scheduling intervals per day, and the API just reflects that limitation. You can't add more than six intervals per day via the web interface either. If at some point in the future the six scheduling interval limit is lifted on the AdWords backend then it should be trivial to change the API's behavior to allow for additional intervals.
