Re: How can I get account status?

[tom . wagstaff]

Thanks Luis,

That's a shame. What about the ManagedCustomerService? When I query my 
accounts through e.g. your account hierarchy script (
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201809/account_management/get_account_hierarchy.py)
 
it seems that all inactive accounts are left out. Could that be a way of 
discovering this, or is it only excluding accounts in certain circumstances?

Cheers,
Tom

Re: Get paused campaigns (php lib)

[matthieu]

Hi Luis,

Do you happen to have a status on the issue? 
We've tried the following today, all with the same 0 results response;

- Trying different accounts with different tokens, both test and 
production, same results.
- Using a plain SOAP request (outside of the SKD).
- Tried the last 3 versions of the API

AdGroupCriterionService returns different results using the same selector

[wesley]

To whom it may concern:

As of October 16, 2018 at around 18.00, we've been experiencing some issues 
when using the python API. I have spent today looking into the issue, but I 
found something strange. I made a small example so that I could share the 
problem with you.

I have the following code:

service = client.GetService('AdGroupCriterionService', version='v201809')

adgroup_adwords_id = 41434232302

selector = {
'fields': [
'Id',
'CpcBid',
'BaseAdGroupId',
'CriteriaType',
'PartitionType',
'CaseValue'
],
'predicates': [
{
'field': 'AdGroupId',
'operator': 'IN',
'values': [adgroup_adwords_id]
},
{
'field': 'CriteriaType',
'operator': 'EQUALS',
'values': 'PRODUCT_PARTITION'
},
{
'field': 'Status',
'operator': 'NOT_EQUALS',
'values': 'REMOVED'
}
]
}

result = service.get(selector)



I am trying to query Google Ads to find all the Adgroup Criterions for a 
Shopping Campaign. When I run the above code, it results in different 
responses when I call it multiple times, i.e.

# First run
{
'adgroup_id': 41434232302,
'criterion_use': 'BIDDABLE',
'criterion': {
'id': 318749511508,
'type': 'PRODUCT_PARTITION',
'Criterion.Type': 'ProductPartition',
'partitionType': 'UNIT',
'parentCriterionId': 293946777986,
'caseValue': {
'ProductDimension.Type': 'ProductOfferId',
'value': 'fbeni618004'
}
}
}

# A later run
{
'adgroup_id': 41434232302,
'criterion_use': 'BIDDABLE',
'criterion': {
'id': 318749511508,
'type': 'PRODUCT_PARTITION',
'Criterion.Type': 'ProductPartition',
'partitionType': 'UNIT',
'parentCriterionId': None,
'caseValue': {
'ProductDimension.Type': 'ProductOfferId',
'value': 'fbeni618004'
}
}
}



The `parentCriterionId` changes from a value to a `None`. On Google Ads, 
nothing has changed about this criterion:





Could you share some insight into what is going on? We've been running this 
code for quite some time, so we were a bit surprised when we all of a 
sudden got errors for this.

We are using `v201809` of the API and version 14.1.0 of the `googleads` 
Python library

Re: Update a campaign to exclude mobile apps and mobile interstitials

[PPC Developer]

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the reply. I think Google team should be aware of the impact of 
deprecating the "adsenseformobileapps.com" placement exclusion technique. 
This cost us a lot of money, and now we're faced with a massive manual 
labor of upating thousands of our Display Network campaigns. 

Here's what happened: In September 2018, Google announced that using the 
string "adsenseformobileapps.com" within Campaign or AdGroup Placement 
Exclusion list is deprecated. We have been using this technique to have 
campaigns that only target websites. The new way to exclude all mobile app 
targeting is now done using Campaign Settings->Device targeting details. 
Unfortunately, Google did not migrate such campaigns using the 
"adsenseformobileapps.com" technique, to the new campaign settings. If a 
Display campaign has "adsenseformobileapps.com" in the placement exclusion 
list, the advertiser clearly made a configuration to not run ads on the 
mobile apps. So point number one : These campaigns must have been migrated 
to the new campaign settings. 

What happend next? we suddenly had a huge spike in our Display Network 
account spending because our campaigns started spending money on mobile app 
placements (something we never opted in for, and deliberately excluded 
them). We caught this change as part of monitoring the spending and cost 
metrics.

Google not only failed to migrate such campaigns but also did not give us a 
way to update our campaigns via the API (As you're saying below). This 
means we have to manually update thousands of campaigns to re-exclude 
mobile app placements. 

I believe this has not been thought out well by Google. AdWords is pretty 
complex, and sometimes one little change might have huge financial and 
opearational implications on advertisers. I believe there are many more 
advertisers out there who will be caught by surprise when they catch the 
spending levels of their Display Network campaigns go up due to mobile app 
placements. I think you guys should look into this issue, I'm pretty sure 
we're not the only victims here.  

I suggest Google does : 1) Either migrate previous campaigns with 
"adsenseformobileapps.com" in placement exclusions to the new campaign 
settings from your side or 2) provide API access ASAP so we can manage our 
accounts properly.

Thanks,
D.

Re: How can I get account status?

Hi Tom,

Yes, you are correct. As stated in this blog post

inactive accounts will no longer be returned when you used the 
ManagedCustomerService.get() method. This being said, you could only 
retrieved those active accounts.

Error when using script to Export Google Ads Reports into BigQuery - Manager Account

[serpscomlocalsearch]

I am trying to use this script to export just my report data to Google Big 
Query.

I am getting the error below...

"Invalid field name "Customer ID". Fields must contain only letters, 
numbers, and underscores, start with a letter or underscore, and be at most 
128 characters long. (file Code.gs, line 273)"

I assume I need to remove the space in the Column named "Customer ID" in my 
report, but cannot seem to do this?

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Cheers

Re: How can I get account status?

[tom . wagstaff]

Thanks Luis,

That's reassuring. Just to confirm: is it only accounts inactive in the 
circumstances described in the blog i.e. no spend for 15 months that would 
not be returned, or is it the case that ManagedCustomerService will only 
return active accounts? So any account that's inactive whether that's 
because it has been cancelled, suspended etc. will be excluded from 
ManagedCustomerService. It sounds like that's the case, and that's ideal!

Cheers,
Tom

Re: AdGroupCriterionService returns different results using the same selector

['Teja Makani' via AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum]

Hello Wesley,

I ran the PRODUCT_PARTITION_REPORT 

 
and able to see AdGroupId 

 
and ParentCriterionId 

 
matching. Could please confirm whether the problem persists quite often? If 
yes, could you please share the SOAP logs(request and response) without 
redacting any information? You could follow the instructions shown here 

 
to enable SOAP logging for Python client library. You could use reply 
privately to the author option while sharing the details requested.

Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.

Yes, all accounts that are inactive (whether they have been cancelled,

 Hi Tom,

 Unfortunately, there is no available service in AdWords API that could 
 retrieve the status of your account. Currently, your account status could 
 only be seen through your Google Ads UI. If you tried to create a request 
 against an inactive account, you would get the CUSTOMER_NOT_ACTIVE error.

 Thanks and regards,
