Re: GoogleAds Auction Insight Metrics exist in API v11 now, but developer access denied

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Aryeh,

this thread piqued my interest when you mentioned that there is a process 
to request access to Auction Insight Metrics. Can any organization apply? 
If so, how?

Thanks & best regards,
Dorian

MutateSharedSets method returns ResourceCountLimitExceededError wrapped in InternalError

[Dorian Kind]

Hi there,

lately we've noticed that calling the SharedSetService's MutateSharedSets 
method with a MutateSharedSetsRequest that would exceed the limit of 20 
Shared Sets per account sometimes doesn't throw the documented 
ResourceCountLimitExceededError directly, but wrapped inside an 
InternalError.

As an example, the MutateSharedSets request with the ID 
oajUG4YRvmyGj8Q1X5Pz5g returned the 
expected ResourceCountLimitExceededError.RESOURCE_LIMIT, whereas the 
request with ID 6r7V8LbRssgLqy9Ti_kwqQ resulted in an 
InternalError.INTERNAL_ERROR.

In the later case, the actual error is still available inside the errors 
field of the containing InternalError, but it's a bit more complicated to 
handle error responses that way.

Is this expected behavior? We only started seeing these instances a couple 
of weeks ago.

Thanks for any feedback & best regards,
Dorian

Re: Consolidated Monthly Reports

[Dorian Kind]

A possible solution would be to download a separate report for each of the 
months you are interested in (setting the appropriate date range in the 
selector). If you use CSV format, you'll get a total line containing 
aggregated values for all the listed campaigns at the end. If you just want 
monthly values for ALL campaings, use an account performance report instead 
of a campaign performance report.

HTH, cheers
Dorian

Re: Reproducible ReportDownloadError.ERROR_GETTING_RESPONSE_FROM_BACKEND

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Paul,

many thanks for the update. I can confirm that by transforming the 
predicate into two predicates with GREATER_THAN and LESS_THAN operators, 
it's possible to "simulate" an EQUALS operator.
Interestingly, the "AdGroupId" field was not required, the report 
definition worked just fine when only using "Name", for example.

Thanks again and best regards,
Dorian

Duplicate Campaign Names Suddenly Allowed

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

it seems that there was a recent change in the Adwords backend that allows 
you to create new campaigns with the same names as deleted ones. This is a 
quite drastic departure from the concept that all campaigns in an account 
need to have a unique name, as indicated in multiple locations in the 
documentation (both for the API and the end-user interface), for instance 
here  or 
here
.

I have two questions:
* Is this change going to stay? If yes, many code bases will have to be 
rewritten because they were built on the assumption that campaign names are 
unique within an account.
* If this is an intentional and permanent change, was this communicated 
anywhere (I didn't see it on this list or on the Google Ads Developer 
Blog)? Will the documentation be updated (see above) to indicate the 
change? What was the motivation for the abrupt change?

Many thanks for your feedback, this change has already impacted us quite 
severely and it would be very nice to have some authorative information on 
the matter.
Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Duplicate Campaign Names Suddenly Allowed

[Dorian Kind]

 

Hi Josh,

thanks for your quick reply. We have a lot of code (Adwords API, but also 
Adwords Scripts) that is based on the assumption that campaign names are 
unique within an account. Most of the time, this manifests itself in cases 
where we parse an adhoc report that was requested with a predicate 
filtering for a specific campaign name (CampaignName EQUALS suchandsuch). 
Here we expect either one result line or none (if no campaign by that name 
exists). We can't just add another predicate to exclude deleted campaigns, 
as sometimes, we're interested in historical data for those. Filtering by 
campaign ID is also not an option, as these IDs are hard to derive for our 
account managers (they're only visible in the location bar within the web 
interface). Our plan for now basically is to just tell the AMs to still 
always rename campaigns before they delete them...

Cheers,
Dorian

Deprecation of returnMoneyInMicros

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

I just noticed that the returnMoneyInMicros header for ad-hoc reports is 
marked as deprecated. Does this mean that monetary values are always going 
to be reported in micros once the header is sunset?

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Ad Update

[Dorian Kind]

Hey there,
it's not possible to change the content of a text ad after creation (except 
by using AdParams, which offer functionality to change numerical values in 
the ad text). You'll have to delete the old ad and create a new one with 
the desired attributes.
Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Change of Error Types When Attaching Bidding Strategies

thanks for the update. It'd be great if the documentation

Re: From service to JSON

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Osso,

you can use the `zeep.helpers.serialize_object` helper to convert a SOAP 
object as returned by zeep into a native dict and then turn that into JSON 
via `json.dumps`.

Cheers,
Dorian

Hi,

just retrying the request after a short waiting period almost always fixes 
the issue.

Re: Update the status of a CrmBasedUserList from Closed to Open

[Dorian Kind]

We've also seen a similar thing happen (audience lists being closed for no 
apparent reason) during the last month or so, but in production accounts in 
our case. I think our business side have escalated this with a Google Ads 
account manager, but I'm not sure if there's been any sort of conclusion 
yet.

Hi Luis,

I'd love to do that, but we don't have SOAP logging turned on by default in

Re: Estimated time of arrival for Benchmark Price metrics via API?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

Just a thought as these types of posts pop up somewhat frequently and never 
seem to warrant a response beyond telling the OP to check the blog for 
updates: how about adding a sticky post which explains that this forum is 
not the right place to post questions about adding features or about 
timelines to availability of such features?
I'm thinking about threads such as this one 

 that's 
been going on for the better part of three years or the perennial "When are 
Video Campaigns going to be supported" posts :)

Custom Parameters on LocationExtensions

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

according to the documentation, all FeedItem 

 
objects have a urlCustomParameters field.
However, when trying to set a custom parameter on a feed item that has been 
mapped to a Location Extension (placeholder type 7), we get an 
OperationAccessDenied.ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED error. Is this expected 
behavior? If so, could the documentation be adapted accordingly?

Thanks and best,

Does AdService support partial failure?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

according to the Partial Failure documentation 
, 
AdService is not one of the services that supports this concept. However, 
while looking at AdService's documentation 
,
 
the returned SOAP object returned does have the partialFailureErrors field, 
which seems to indicate that partial failure is indeed supported. Which one 
is correct?

If I understand OP correctly, not only do they still appear in the 
placement reports, they also accumulate stats now. I'd also like to 
understand how we can exclude these (AdMob?) placements.

Re: API Test account - how sandboxed and what data is available?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Si,

you might be able to handle the scenario by using a production developer 
token, but giving your developer read-only access to the Google Ads account 
in question. That way, he'll be able to access all account data without 
risking any unwanted modifications to the setup.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: API Test account - how sandboxed and what data is available?

[Dorian Kind]

Yes, that is correct. You could say that there's three "levels" of 
credentials:

   - Developer token: Identifies a given Adwords API developer, used for 
   RMF enforcement, rate limiting and the like.
   - OAuth2 client: Used to identify a given application towards a user and 
   creating access tokens that can be used to access the API on the user's 
   behalf. Multiple OAuth2 clients/applications can use the same developer 
   token, and I assume the same OAuth2 client can be used with different 
   developer tokens (haven't tested the second case, though).
   - The actual Adwords user making the API call, identified via the OAuth2 
   access token. The effective Adwords permissions of that Adwords user 
   determine what operations can be performed, both in the Web UI and via the 
   Adwords API

I hope that clears up things somewhat.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Get Keyword Idea API

Hi Zied,

these keyword idea results are indicative of a *test account*. You'll only

Re: Frequent time outs while accessing Adwords APIs

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

FWIW, we're seeing the same issue with other Google APIs (such as Sheets), 
also only in the AWS Ireland (eu-west-1) region. The root cause seems to be 
closely related—we noticed that *.googleapis.com would only resolve to a 
single IP address (always 74.125.193.95) from these hosts, whereas normally 
and in all other AWS regions we tested, these queries resolve to multiple 
addresses.

AWS support in our case pointed out the DNS discrepancy as most likely 
reason for the timeouts and reset connections—they didn't find anything on 
their end that might be the cause.

I've created an issue about this 
 on Google's issue 
tracker, but haven't heard back so far. 

Regards,
Dorian

Re: Plausibility of automated monthly account backups through API?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi David,

we were facing the same challenge. As backing up accounts over the API 
doesn't seem feasible, we currently use a dedicated host which runs an 
AutoHotkey script every day to download and export a couple hundred 
accounts in the Adwords Editor. The script then uploads the .aea files to a 
cloud storage provider. While this solution isn't completely satisfactory, 
it generally runs reliably and only requires manual intervention if there's 
an update to the Adwords Editor.

Best regards,
Dorian

Re: Get permissions of login behind OAuth access token

To at least check whether there's only read-only access to a given account 
you could try send a simple operation (e.g. creating a new campaign) with 
the validateOnly header as suggested in this thread.

BulkMutateJob — Supported Services

Hello group,

currently, a BulkMutateJob may contain mutate operations from a specific 
set of services, namely CampaignService, CampaignTargetService, 
CampaignCriterionService, AdGroupService, AdGroupAdService and 
AdGroupCriterionService.
Are there any plans to support operations from AdParamService in a future 
release?

Many thanks and best regards,

probably not of particular interest outside of the web interface.
However, there now exists new functionality that allows labels to be 
defined down to the keyword level (see Reed's link or 
).
 
These labels are much more interesting, as they provide a whole new level 
in structuring your campaign and retrieving information from it.
Are there any plans to make these labels available via the API?

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Grandtotal summary in 201109?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Kevin,

I just stumbled upon this thread, and was surprised to see that there is a 
summary row in the reports, as I've never seen one before. It turns out 
that the grand total is not included if one sets 'XML' as 
'downloadFormat', however it is available in CSV-reports. Is there a 
specific reason for this? I prefer the XML-formatted reports as they 
are--in my experience--easier to parse, but a total row would make further 
processing of the data simpler. If there are no plans to include grand 
total in XML-reports, it would certainly be possible to modify my code to 
use CSV, but I thought I'll ask first.

Many thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Video campaigns statistics

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

If I may revive this thread: Interestingly, the video campaign statistics 
*are* available in the web interface on an MCC level. Meaning that if you 
look at the MCC which a specific account is linked to, you'll get a total 
line for that account which includes the impressions, clicks and cost from 
video campaigns. However, as soon as you drill into that account, the video 
statistics disappear from the total line.
Unfortunately this is a bit confusing for some of our customers who like to 
take a look at their account from time to time. They see a total line with 
cost X in the totals for their account, but then notice that they got 
billed Y > X by Google.
Are there any plans to remove this discrepancy?

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Video campaigns statistics

[Dorian Kind]

Many thanks for your comprehensive answer, Kevin! Just so that I understand 
this completely: There is currently no functionality in the API to get 
total performance statistics for a single account where values from video 
campaigns are included?

Thanks again and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Video campaigns statistics

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Kevin,

thanks for your continued support! The thing is, in my experience even the 
account performance reports do *not* include statistics from video 
campaigns. For example, the following report definition (in Python) for a 
client of ours:

{'reportName': 'Ad Hoc Report',
 'selector': {
  'fields': ['Cost'],
  'dateRange': {'max': '20120531', 'min': '20120501'}
 },
 'reportType': 'ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT',
 'dateRangeType': 'CUSTOM_DATE',
 'downloadFormat': 'XML'
}

returns:



  
  
  

  


  


but the real cost for that timeframe (as visible in our MCC) is 7,525.80. 
The difference of 540.59 corresponds exactly to the cost of the single 
video campaign in the given account.

So it appears that—at least for the account in question—we have no way to 
gather the actual total cost using the API...
I would appreciate any pointers you could give me regarding this issue, and 
I'll gladly provide any additional details you might need.

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: CampaignStats

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Ro,

generally, if you are only interested in statistics, using the Adhoc 
reports is preferable as they don't incur any costs and don't require 
paging if you need to download a large result set. I also feel that they 
are somewhat faster than using the corresponding service, but that might be 
subjective. I do not know what could be causing the timeouts you are 
mentioning, in my experience the report service is very reliable. Maybe it 
has to do with the issue described here: 


Hope this helps & cheers,
Dorian

Re: Total number of keywords in an account

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Neil,

you can use the AdGroupCriterionService for this. Construct a suitable 
selector for the keyword types you are interested in, and set 
paging.numberResults 
to zero. The returned AdGroupCriterionPage will contain the number of 
keywords in the totalNumEntries field.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Campaign Progress

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Marco,

when using the CampaignService, you can only get total statistic data for 
the whole dateRange that you specify in your selector. Also, only a subset 
of all available metrics is 
supported:.
To get daily stats for a given time frame, use ad hoc reports and add 
"Date" to your fields list, causing the returned data to be segmented by 
day.
HTH, cheers,
Dorian

Re: Retrieve ImageAd by ImageAd id

Hi Tal,

The ImageAd type inherits the field "id" from type Ad, which you can use in 
your selector's predicate as "Id" (notice the different capitalization).

Re: Campaign Progress

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Marco,

here's a report definition for use with the ad hoc reporting functionality 
( that 
should produce the data you need (although I haven't tested it):

https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201109";>

  
Date
Name
Clicks
AverageCpc
  
  
Status
IN
ACTIVE
PAUSED
DELETED
  
  
20120501
20120504
  

Test report
CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
CUSTOM_DATE
XML


Please note that the PHP client library will very likely provide methods to 
download these reports without actually having to construct the report 
definition XML yourself. I can't tell you which ones, however, as I am 
using the Python library myself.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Adwords video data via the latest API

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Gavin,

unfortunately no, there is currently no way at all to access that data. 
They don't even show up in an account performance report...

DatabaseError.DATABASE_ERROR

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

during the last few days, I've observed a number of calls to 
MutateJobService.mutate() fail, returning DatabaseError.DATABASE_ERROR with 
the additional information "trigger:'DeadlineException'"—I assume this is 
an indication for a unusally high workload. As far as I can tell, the 
corresponding jobs were not processed. Is there anything that can be done 
on my side to avoid those errors?

Thanks & cheers,
Dorian

Re: How to download named report C#

[Dorian Kind]

You probably know this, but if the reports were originally defined in the 
UI, they will not be available via the API. Apart from that, I can't offer 
any help but I'd recommend using ad hoc reports instead of the 
ReportDefinitionService (which will be deprecated anyway).

Cheers

Re: Keyword MaxCPC

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Brandon,

here's an exemplary selector (in Python) that will download a number of 
interesting fields for all keywords of a given campaign, including maxCPC:

selector = {
'fields': ['Id', 'AdGroupId', 'KeywordText', 'KeywordMatchType', 
'MaxCpc', 'Status', 'CpcBidSource'],
'predicates': [
{
'field': 'CampaignId',
'operator': 'EQUALS',
'values': [CAMPAIGN_ID]
},
{
'field': 'CriterionUse',
'operator': 'EQUALS',
'values': ['BIDDABLE']
}
],
'paging': {
'startIndex': 0,
'numberResults': MAX_PAGE_SIZE
}
} 

The maxCPC value will be available in the field bids->maxCpc of every 
returned entry. See 


Cheers,
Dorian

Re: How to download named report C#

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Eric,

I have absolutely zero knowledge of C#, but this link might help you to get 
a general idea about ad hoc reports: 
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting>
It's basically a synchronous HTTP request with your report definition as 
data, returning the desired report.

Hope this helps,
Dorian

python-client: How to use existing OAuth 1.0 token

[Dorian Kind]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the use of OAuth1.0 tokens in the Python client 
library. The example in 
examples/adspygoogle/adwords/v201109_1/misc/use_oauth.py 
is performing the whole authentification flow by itself, starting from 
consumer ID and secret.
However, we perform authentication in a different component and just get 
passed an OAuth HTTP authorization header, like this:

Authorization: OAuth oauth_body_hash="BL[...]", oauth_version="1.0", 
oauth_timestamp="13[...]", oauth_nonce="20[...]", oauth_token="1%2F[...]", 
oauth_consumer_key="79[...].apps.googleusercontent.com", 
oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_signature="xm[...]"

Now in what form do I need to pass the above header elements 
into client.oauth_credentials for OAuth to work? It seems like I have to 
provide an 'oauth_handler' in the configuration in order to sign and format 
the request parameters, but I think there should be no need for that as the 
credentials above are ready to be sent as is.

Many thanks for any pointers and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Number of keywords in campaign

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Grant,

if you're only interested in the total number, you can set the numberResults 
of the paging settings to zero and just use the totalNumEntries field of 
the returned page. This way, your request should not incur any API unit 
costs.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Question about adParam GET/SET best practices

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Marc,

unfortunately, AdParamOperations are not (yet?) supported by the 
BulkMutateService, so what I do is use multiple threads to perform these 
types of updates faster. Take note that you'll have to check for 
RateExceededErrors. Also, it's not required to only send operations for a 
single ad group inside a mutate request, so if you have a lot of ad groups 
with only few keywords, there's a potential speedup by combining operations 
for different ad groups and increasing your the number of operations for a 
single Mutate call until you hit REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (in my 
experience, a few hundred operations are always OK).

Hope this helps, cheers
Dorian

Re: Where do I get a report id from?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

it's only possible to download reports created (previously, as it's 
read-only now) via the API; so even if you found the report definition ID 
in the web interface, you wouldn't be able to download it. The solution is 
really just to use the Ad Hoc reporting service, I can't think of any 
functionality that is covered by the ReportDefinitionService but not 
possible with Ad Hoc reports.

Hope this helps, cheers

Re: AdHoc reports without developer key

[Dorian Kind]

In GA, only a subset of statistics from AdWords is available (all of them 
also accessible via the Adwords API), but the combination with web tracking 
data makes it very interesting. For example, we adjust CPC bids according 
to a keyword's specific bounce rate.

Re: Keywords_Performance_Report - how to download data for deleted keywords?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Crosby,

my guess would be that the "IsNegative" field is preventing zero-impression 
rows (and thus deleted keywords) from being returned. Try your report query 
with that field removed from the selector to see if that's really the case.

Re: What is the scope of accounts access?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Oliver,

the link between the developer token and MCC is only for API unit billing 
purposes (and may some other administrative grounds). In general, every 
account, whether linked to an (arbitrary) MCC or unlinked, can be accessed 
with any developer token. Usually (I only know the Python library, but I 
suppose it's the same for the others) the client library lets you specify 
any sort of valid credentials, which may be for an MCC or a "single" 
account. If it's an MCC account, you can optionally specify which 
sub-account you need to access.
In that sense, all accesses via the API are really no different than if you 
just logged into the web interface with that specific credentials.

Hope this helps, cheers
Dorian

Re: Using MCC login to pull reports in

Hi Reed,

this is definitely intended behavior, as otherwise there would be no way

Re: using adparam to set prices on all ads in an adgroup

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Justin,

as you suspected, you'll have to update every adParam for every keyword 
criterion in the concerned ad group, I do not believe that there is any 
other way to achieve what you want.
What makes matters worse is that AdParamOperation mutate operations are not 
supported by the BulkMutateJobService, so you'll be restricted to a few 
hundred keywords per call to AdParamService.mutate...
Like yourself, I don't really see a use case where one would want to set 
different ad params according to keyword criteria — to me it would make 
more sense to be able to set ad params on a TextAd level, or for a whole ad 
group at once.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Adhoc Reports giving 500(Internal Server Error) and 400(Bad Request Error) response

[Dorian Kind]

CUSTOMER_SERVING_TYPE_REPORT_MISMATCH usually means that you are trying to 
download a report for an MCC account, which by design has no statistic data 
associated. Try specifying a non-MCC sub-account ID in the clientCustomerId 
header of your request.

Re: Is it OK to use the API for the TargetingIdeaService feature only?

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Roy,

as this list is for technical discussion of the AdWords API, I doubt that 
anyone here will be able to give you a binding answer. I'll venture a guess 
and say that your idea could be problematic with regard to this section of 
the T&C RMF:
*"If an AdWords API Client provides any functionality related to 
TargetingIdeaService or TrafficEstimatorService, it must fully implement 
the required Creation Functionality, Management Functionality and Reporting 
Functionality"*
But IANAL, so it's probably best if you get in direct contact with 
adwordsapi-tok...@google.com.

Dorian

Re: Expected API costs

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Panagiotis,

AFAIR, there is no minimum spend or cancellation fee for using the AdWords 
API. As for the costs incurred, it only depends on the number and type of 
transactions you are going to make via the API, so there's no quick answer 
to that. Have a look at the rate sheet 
 to get an idea 
about the expected costs.

Cheers,
Dorian

Strange segmenting behavior when using ConversionTypeName in account performance report

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

I've noticed that ad hoc reports that include the field 
"ConversionTypeName" exhibit a peculiar behavior regarding conversion rate. 
If I include "ConversionTypeName" in the fields to retrieve for an account 
performance report, the results are segmented by conversion type name, as 
expected, and the available metrics are split into the different lines 
while the "Totals" line shows the aggregated values for the whole data set, 
which corresponds exactly to the values shown in the web interface. So far 
everything is OK.

When I include "ConversionRate" in the report, however, the field is always 
returned as "0.00%" for every conversion type. I guess you could argue that 
you cannot meaningfully calculate a conversion rate for a specific 
conversion type for the same reason that you generally cannot include 
non-conversion stats in a report as soon as you segment it that way. But 
then, why even include the field if it is always zero?

The more confusing issue is regarding the "Totals" line. Here I have 
encountered two different cases: in one account, the "ConversionRate" field 
for totals is also zero, like for the individual conversion types. In 
another account, however, the totals line shows the correct conversion rate 
for all conversions of the account (while all other lines still show zero). 
I can't seem to find what causes this dissimilarity.
Any pointers are much appreciated!

Many thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Hi,

you'll need to include the "Date" field in your report definition which

Re: Strange segmenting behavior when using ConversionTypeName in account performance report

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Takeshi,

many thanks for your reply. Here's the report XML I'm using:



  

AccountId

ConversionTypeName

Conversions

ConversionRate



  20121013

  20121212



  

  Ad Hoc report Type: ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT; Date Range: 
20121013-20121212

  ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

  CUSTOM_DATE

  CSV




I can provide you with two account IDs that reproduce the behavior I've 
mentioned above (one account showing the actual conversion rate in the 
total line, the other showing 0.00%), if that's of any help to you.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: What is the maximum limit of number of objects that can exist in each level?

[Dorian Kind]

Hey Kapil

from :

These are the limits for an AdWords account:

   - 10,000 campaigns (includes active and paused campaigns)
   - 20,000 ad groups per campaign
   - 10,000 keywords per ad group
   - 300 display ads per ad group (includes image ads)
   - 4 million active or paused ads per account
   - 5 million keywords per account
   - 10,000 location targets (targeted and excluded) per campaign, 
   including up to 500 proximity targets per campaign
   - 100,000 active ad extensions per account
   - 1.3 million references to ad extensions per account*

Some of these limits might be raisable by Google on a case-per-case basis. 
When we hit the keyword limit with a few of our customers, we just split up 
the campaigns into different accounts, though.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Filter By Network Type AdGroupService

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Gustav,

I'd strongly recommend using reports for this purpose 
. This 
will allow you to specify the filter you require, incurs no API unit cost 
and you don't have to build a SOAP request yourselves.

Cheers,
Dorian

Best practice for bulk update of destination URLs

[Dorian Kind]

Hello all,

I have a use case where I need to change the destination URLs of all ads 
across a whole account. As we all know, we cannot update an AdgroupAd, 
instead we need to delete the old ad and then create a new one with the 
desired changes. I plan on first downloading a AdPerformanceReport to get 
all affected ads and then using a BulkMutateJob to perform the required 
operations, which should work just fine.
However I wonder whether there is a possibility to update the destination 
in a way that's agnostic to the actual type of AdGroupAd that needs to be 
updated, i.e. without having to differentiate between TextAd, ImageAd, 
MobileAd etc. and then populating the type-specific fields with the values 
we got from the report.
After all I just want to change the destination URL which is defined in the 
base "Ad" type and do not care at all about what exact kind of AdGroupAd I 
am dealing with.
In an ideal world, there was a field "copyAdFrom" for AdGroupAd ADD 
operations where I just supply another AdGroupAd ID which is then used to 
populate all the fields that I do not supply new values for. There is 
something similar with "adToCopyImageFrom", but this only works for 
ImageAds.
Now obviously there is no such field, but maybe someone has a few pointers 
on how to make this as simple as possible without having a big switch 
statement and writing boilerplate code for every different AdGroupAd type.

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: If I use creation functionality I must also have all required reporting features?

[Dorian Kind]

I am no lawyer, but I'd agree with your interpretation.

"If an AdWords API Client provides any Creation Functionality or Management 
Functionality marked "Required" then it must fully implement the required 
Creation Functionality, Management Functionality and Reporting 
Functionality"

Re: Which character encoding is used in client reporting?

As far as I can recall, downloadFormat "CSV" is encoded using UTF-8 while 
the Excel .csv format (I can't seem to find its downloadFormat value) uses 
UTF-16LE.

Segmentation by Campaign in KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

when I request an adhoc report of the type KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and 
filter for a specific keyword and match type combination—let's call it 
[keyword]—I get the following results (requesting keyword text, match type 
and conversions):

"Ad Hoc Report (Feb 1, 2013)"

Keyword,Match type,Conv. (1-per-click)

keyword,Exact,0

keyword,Exact,0

keyword,Exact,432

keyword,Exact,0

keyword,Exact,0

keyword,Exact,0

Total, --,432

I was a bit confused by the extra lines until I realized that this specific 
keyword was used in 6 different campaigns. Apparently this report always 
segments by campaign ID:

"Ad Hoc Report (Feb 1, 2013)"

Campaign ID,Keyword,Match type,Conv. (1-per-click)

111724208,keyword,Exact,0

117047768,keyword,Exact,432

117048608,keyword,Exact,0

146873408,keyword,Exact,0

146874008,keyword,Exact,0

146873888,keyword,Exact,0

Total, --, --,432

It's trivial to sum up the values from the different campaigns (even more 
so in this example when we only look at a single keyword) but I still 
wonder whether there is a way to suppress this behavior and just show 
totals over the whole account?
Furthermore, is this actually documented somewhere? I couldn't find 
anything in the Report Types appendix.

Thanks for any feedback & cheers,
Dorian

Thanks Kevin, that makes sense.

Re: CustomerSyncService: lastChangeTimestamp and changedCampaigns seem inconsistent

[Dorian Kind]

Are there any news on this issue? This is one of those inconsistencies 
between an API-based application and the web UI that drives certain 
customers of ours nuts. Would be nice to have an explanation to throw at 
them.
Thanks and cheers,
Dorian

 The lastChangeTimestamp returned is "20130212 040339 PST8PDT", but in 
 the web UI I see the last change as "Feb 1, 2013 5:04:08 PM CET".

 Thanks,

 PS: I couldn't submit the post with a file attached (An error (#340)

 only

Open google-api-ads-python issues

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

sorry for posting this here, but I wouldn't know where else to go. The 
Python adspygoogle library was last updated on April 2 to version 15.7.1, 
but unfortunately many people cannot build the package because of missing 
files. This has been reported on April 4 with issue 
68, 
but the issue hasn't been accepted or even commented on since then. As this 
is a show-stopping bug, I feel like there should be at least some form of 
acknowledgement from Google's side. There's also other issues with the 
library that have been reported more than a month ago but didn't receive 
'official' feedback yet. I understand that engineers at Google have a 
multitude of responsibilities and this library might not be on top of the 
priority list, but seeing as it is explicitly recommended to use an 
official client library to communicate with the AdWords API, it would be 
nice to have a working product.

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Open google-api-ads-python issues

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Pau,

many thanks for your work-around. However I feel that my original point 
still stands: This is a bug that is preventing the library from being 
installed in a sane way (using easy_install, pip or the like), and there 
has been no feedback from Google for almost 3 weeks now.

Cheers,
Dorian

HourOfDay and Conversion Metrics

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

when examining the "Report Types" appendix of the API documentation, one 
finds that the HourOfDay metric for Account, Campaign and Ad Group 
Performance reports is allegedly "Not compatible with conversion stats 
(Conversions, ValuePerConversion, etc)".
However, when I try and request a Campaign Report containing conversion 
metrics and segmented by HourOfDay, it works just fine and returns the same 
values that are visible in the web UI (under the "Dimensions" tab).
So my question is whether this is a case of the documentation being 
outdated or just an undocumented feature that is likely to go away again :)

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

CustomerSyncService and client IDs

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

in the Adwords web interface, you can filter the "Recent Changes" list by 
user account that actually performed the change. Am I correct in assuming 
that this information is not available when using the CustomerSyncService?

Thanks & Cheers

Inconsistency between SOAP service and ad-hoc reporting

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

I noticed that newly created ads containing a headline or a description 
line starting with whitespace will be trimmed automatically, e.g. when 
creating a TextAd like so:

{'ad': {
  'headline': '  My headline',
  'description1': 'A description',
  'description2': 'More description',
  'displayUrl': 'example.com',
  'url': 'http://www.example.com/'
  }
}

the return value from AdGroupAdService will look like this (this is also 
how the ad appears in the Web UI):

{'ad': {
  'Ad_Type': 'TextAd',
  'id': '123456789',
  'headline': 'My headline',
  'description1': ''A description',
  'description2': 'More description',
  'displayUrl': 'example.com',
  'url': 'http://www.example.com/'
  }
}

This is no problem per se, but when downloading an 
ad-hoc AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT containing the specific ad, it will appear 
with the headline as originally sent (i.e., with the whitespace in front), 
which makes reconciliation difficult.

An example of this behavior can be found if you take a look at ad 
ID 21729807532 in ad group ID 7463768572 within the account 464-903-6457.

Is this behavior intended? And if not, what are recommended practices to 
handle this discrepancy?

Many thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Inconsistency between SOAP service and ad-hoc reporting

[Dorian Kind]

Update: I fiddled around some more, and it turns out this has nothing to do 
with the trimming. The issue is that in CSV reports, fields that start with 
a hyphen are prepended with a space. For example: I created an ad in the 
Web UI, starting the text lines with different interpunctuation symbols but 
without whitespace in front. This is the resulting Ad Performace Report:

Ad ID,Ad type,Ad,Description line 1,Description line 2,Campaign,Ad group,Ad 
state,Campaign state,Ad group state

21734783092,Text ad, - Test this,: Also this,— And that,Test Hyphen In 
Front,Ad Group #1,enabled,paused,enabled

Total, --, --, --, --, --, --, --, --, --

The headline, which starts with a hyphen, is preceded by a space character, 
while description lines 1 and 2 start with a colon and an en-dash and are 
left alone. XML reports do not exhibit this peculiarity, by the way.

Under the assumption that a metric/attribute can never start with 
whitespace (as indicated by the automatic stripping of ad headlines / 
description lines done by the API) I guess the workaround would be to trim 
all values in CSV reports. But is this assumption correct?

Thanks and best regards,
Dorian

Re: Inconsistency between SOAP service and ad-hoc reporting

[Dorian Kind]

I just realized that this might be connected to the way that the "Total" 
row is formatted (which is not available in XML reports). There, values 
that cannot be aggregated are indicated with the string ' --', two hyphens 
preceded by a space. Maybe the logic that inserts the spaces in the "Total" 
row is inadvertently also being applied to every result row...

State of AdParams

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,

There are some previous threads about AdParams, but I'd thought I combine 
some of the issues I've encountered when using this feature, which from my 
point of view is a great mechanism for making your campaigns more dynamic, 
but is quite difficult to work with. I'm also interested whether there is 
actually a significant number of developers using AdParams.

The main problems I have with the current implementation are the following:

   - No possibility to define AdParams on an AdGroupAd or even AdGroup 
   level. This makes updating AdParams a fairly slow process when you have 
   more than just a few keywords in an ad group. I still struggle to see the 
   use case for defining different AdParams on different keywords within the 
   same ad group. I believe that in a majority of cases, one rather wants to 
   define params for a specific ad, or even on the whole ad group.
   - No support for AdParamOperations in MutateJobService. This fact, 
   together with the above item, means that an update of ad params for the 
   whole account (say a million keywords) takes a very long time and involves 
   significant overhead as all the calls are synchronous and no more than 
   approx. 1000 operations can be submitted at once before hitting 
   REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
   - No reporting whatsoever. This means that you will need either to have 
   local state or, like above, submit hundreds or thousands of calls to 
   AdParamService.get
   - The allowed range of characters apart from numbers is limited. For 
   example, in some central European countries, an apostrophe or single quote 
   is used as thousands separator, while others use a space—yet only dot and 
   comma are legal in the insertion text.

To me, the lack of reporting functionality is the most severe issue, as it 
forces me to add DB logic to an otherwise stateless tool. But I am very 
interested what others have to say.

Thanks for any feedback and best regards,
Dorian

Re: 502 Bad gateway error

Same here, we started seeing these 502 errors as early as January 18th, but

Strange SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH

[Dorian Kind]

Hi all,
since yesterday, we started to see SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH 
errors when fetching all AdParams for a given campaign, even though there 
are more AdParams existing. These errors usually start appearing at an 
offset of around 12. The campaign in question currently has 148124 
AdParams set as indicated by the "totalNumEntries" of the returned pages 
that are working; entries beyond a specifc offset however just throw 
a START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH error.
I'd be grateful for any hints as we have currently no way at all to 
retrieve a complete list of AdParams for that specific campaign.
Best regards,
Dorian

Re: Inconsistency between SOAP service and ad-hoc reporting

[Dorian Kind]

If anyone else stumbles upon this, the described behavior is still in 
effect. Any attributes that start with a hyphen are prepended with a space 
character in CSV reports. Workaround is to simply trim the values, as (to 
the best of my knowledge) attributes cannot start with a space.

Re: Strange SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH

[Dorian Kind]

Hi Takeshi, thanks for your reply.

Request ID 0004e575769593380ae55dd213fc is an example. It 
returned SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH @ ; trigger:'105000' even 
though there happen to be 106107 Adparams in that specific campaign.

Best regards,
Dorian

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Dorian Kind]

If you still want to display an average of average position, the CSV 
reports have a total line where this metric is available. I think it's just 
average position per campaign weighted by impressions, but it might be more 
complicated than that. Here's an example of such a report:

"AveragePositionTest (Sep 4, 2013-Sep 5, 2013)"
Campaign ID,Avg. position
103660117,0.0
105956677,0.0

54471157,1.3
74850877,0.0
101361157,0.0
Total,1.8

Cheers,
Dorian

 Hi,

 We are having some trouble getting the global Average position for 
 filtered campaigns.

 Here's how it goes:

 Report: CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 

 Predicates: 

 #1 Campaign name doesn't include "some text"
 #2 Ad Network is Search

 Fields: Average Position

 *Response:*

 
 
   
   
   
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 

 Obviously, we get Avg. Position for all of our campaigns. What we want 
 is the global average position like we see in Adwords reports within the 
 "Total - filtered" row.

 If we sum all the above and divide the result by 15, we get 2.1, but in 
 Adwords, it shows 1.9 (see attached). How can we get this 1.9?

 Is there any way we can get that result given the predicates we have to 
 use? Account report doesn't work because of the campaign name filter.

 Any idea is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 Stéphane

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Dorian Kind]

AFAIK, every report is at least segmented by the entity it is associated 
with, i.e. there is no way to get a CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT not listing 
metrics for individual campaigns. But like I mentioned, you can just ignore 
every line except for the "Total" one, where you'll find aggregated metrics 
for all the (possibly filtered) entities.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: Strange SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH

Hi Takeshi,

thanks for your answer, however I am not sure I understand your suggestion. 
Removing paging.startIndex works fine, but how are we then supposed to 
fetch results beyond the maximum value of paging.numberResults? In my test, 
I received a SizeLimitError.RESPONSE_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error when raising 
numberResults beyond approximately 10'000.

Cheers,
Dorian

Re: MaxCpc --- Is it possible to extract the historical values of your MaxCpc on keyword level?

As far as I know, structural data (the fields marked "Attribute") is 
not historicized. What we do is to collect the data we are interested in 
ourselves and store it locally every day.
