Can keyword bids be changed without changing status?
I use the AdGroupCriterionService to change keyword bids via a Mutate SET operation on BiddableAdGroupCriterion. This is an automated process that pushes bid changes from an internal queue to AdWords. Early each morning I reload tables (via the ReportingService) containing all the information on all keywords. However, if I use that stored status as the value for userStatus in the SET operand, and the status has been changed either on the UI or in AdWords Editor, then I end up setting it to the wrong value. If I don't specify the userStatus, the documentation indicates that it defaults to Activate, which is just as bad if the current status happened to be Paused. The only change that I really need to make is to the bid - is there any way the change ONLY the bid, and leave the status untouched? thanks Reed -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Mixed Campaign/Adgroups - Data returned from API and reporting?
Yet another question related to the new support for mixing keyword, website and placement-targeted in the same campaigns or adgroups. I've not run into problems creating them, and have a couple of test campaigns and adgroups running that are mixed. But I'm seeing interesting data coming back from different angles, and need to be able to match up the performance data coming from scheduled reports with the data in the structure reports (which shows me MAXCPC among other things). I’m hoping you can shed some light on what I am seeing. I created a test campaign that has search, content match, and placement keywords in it. When I look at the data from the daily scheduled keyword performance report, I see Matchtypes such as Broad Content Placement Targeted Exact When I run the Structure Report through the API, I get Website Broad ContentChannel Exact Am I correct in believing that I should always treat “ContentChannel” in the structure report as “Placement Targeted” when I try to match up the data from the two reports? The “Website” type in the past has always matched up with “Content” with no problems.

AdWords API Structure report show same keyword twice in same camp/adgroup with same matchtype?
The structure report that I loaded tody for one of our accounts included an unexpected occurance: For the same campaign and adgroup, there is a keyword with 2 records, both with the same matchtype. One is paused, the other is active. One of the keywords is all lower case and the other has leading caps. Does that make them unique keywords?

AdWords API Re: Filter in Keyword report
Here's what I do. We used to pull the keyword performance data via the API, but the costs (both in Google bills and processing time) became an issue. We still use the API to pull the campaign and adgroup information each night for all customers' accounts (those are "cheap" calls to the API and the data isn't all that huge), as well as the Structure Report for a keyword level breakdown (you only need one report per account, as opposed to the keyword report whcih was one report per adgroup, so the cost is still "cheap"), but now use daily scheduled reports on the GUI side of adWords to email us a keyword performance report for each account. It is in CSV format and we can process huge files very fast. When we need the campaign or adgroup ID information, we can get it from either the Structure Report's data or the data that came down from the campaign (criterion) or adgroup requests. Using the scheduled report sped things up tremendously (5+ hours to about 30 minutes or less) because the data was is a consistent CSV format (which ETL tools love) instead of the XML format which was both cpu-intensive to parse and inconsistent in the presence/ absence of certain elements. We do this for about 2.5 million keywords every night and it works like a champ. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Re: addAdGroup documentation confusion
I use ColdFusion for all of our adWords API interfacing. Some of our newer code uses the CFSCRIPT object notation, while other code (including the AddAdGroups calls, take the older approach of using the tag to create the SOAP document, then send that document off to adWords via a request. Below is the XML document for AddAdGroup, and it looks just like yours, so I would second Jeff's suggestion to see what the actual SOAP request is looking like. I hope you know how to do that, because I never had any luck with it. It's important though, because you're never quite sure just what Apache AXIS is doing to your SOAP document before sending it out to adWords! I usually end up doing a CFDUMP of the SOAP just before the CFHTTP, and crossing my fingers that AXIS and the WSDL aren't going to stab me in the back (more of a problem with EWS than with adWords), so if you know how to get the SOAP tracing working on a ColdFusion server I'd be interested.

AdWords API Problem pulling Placement Performance reports since Friday?
I pull the Placement Performance reports for a handful of clients every day (for the previous day's data) via an automated script that does the usual request report, check status/download report, sequence. Runs every day with no problem. Starting this past Saturday (3/21/09) it reports no errors, but the XML files that are downloaded only contain the header info - no data is present. If I login to adWords and run the report then I see data. I tried a test a few minutes ago and did the adWords report, saw the data, and then manually ran my scripts, and still no data in the XML files. This doesn't seem to be specific to any account or login. Here is a sample of one of my SOAP requests: http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> _xx xx x...@xx.com x...@xx.com xxSchedule Structure Report xx https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v13";> ContentPlacement Placement Report AdGroup Url Summary 2009-03-22 2009-03-22 AdGroup PlacementUrl Campaign CampaignId CampaignStatus SiteTargeted PlacementSpecialCategory DeliveryType AdGroupStatus AdVariation AdWordsType DailyBudget Clicks Cost Impressions CTR CPC ConversionRate Conversions CostPerConverstion CostPerTransaction Transactions TotalConversionValue AverageConversionValue ValuePerClick ValuePerCost SalesCount SalesValue LeadCount LeadValue SignupCount SignupValue PageViewCount DefaultCount DefaultValue Here is the response: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v13";>853 http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"; soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/v13">1 https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v13";>500 http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next"; soapenv:mustUnderstand="0" xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/v13">49b2e193251a2508a24d04b369b6a862 https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v13";> 742458165 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Placement Performance Reports: API reports don't match UI reports
Is anyone else using the Placement Performance reports feature of the API, and seeing a difference (sometimes) between the data in the XML file loaded via the API, and the data shown when running the same report criteria in the UI? In fact, if I use the API to request the report ID of the report generated in the UI, it matches the UI displayed data, but differs from the report requested and loaded via the API. What I am seeing is that the file requested by the API has 2 records for one of the placement sites (ironically it is "gmail.com"), one of which exactly matches the single record contained in the UI generated report. The only differences between the two are the siteTargeted values and the actual metrics. The correct metrics (ie, those that match both the UI Placement Report and the Keyword Performance Report data) are for the 2rd record of the pair, which has a siteTargeted value of "gmail.com" whereas the 1st record has a blank siteTargeted value. That might sound like a "duh, of course" situation, but the confusion is over the fact that the 1st record also has non-zero metrics, and I cannot account for them (where do they come from?) in any of the other reports. I cannot just ignore records with no siteTargeted values, because the whole purpose of doing the download is to analyze those records for possible placement creation via the API, and (depending on my application user's analysis paremeters), that second records might end up looking like a candidate when in fact it had already been turned into a site-specific placement (which is where the data for the first record originates). The Report ID for the API generated placement performance report is 738462255, and for the UI generated report is 746302515. Anyone else seen anything like this?

AdWords API "Connect Failure" within XML Response
>From time to time I've been getting weird parsing errors in XML returned from the adWords API. Today I found the following: I sent a getAllAds request to the adService, and got back an HTTP status of 200, but the HTTP response content contained nothing but the words "Connection Failure" instead of the usual XML document. There have been other times when I've received the "Connection Failure" as the actual HTTP status code, but this seems pretty strange that it would be in the body of the message that came back with a 200 status code. I'm running on Java/Axis, and would figure that if I got the 200 status then the GET to the adWords API at least got out of my server and to the adWords server, so I don't think that the problem is in something that Axis is doing. There's no easy way to reproduce this, sometimes it happens & sometimes it doesn't, but since I probably do thousands of calls to the API every night, it's bound to happen more often than I'd like. Is there logic behind this behavior that I'm not aware of?

AdWords API Re: Is there any alternate option to make report without validating or scheduling
Given that there are a limited number of aggregation levels available for reporting, one alternative would be to use the GUI to schedule a daily report for each aggregation level of the previous day's data and have that report automatically emailed to you. Then all you have to do is to process the incoming data files (which are CSV btw, so they process a lot faster than the XML reports from the API), and store the data. When your client does his queries and selects his options, you don't have to get the data from Google - you just query your local database. The cost is zero because there are no API calls. This also solves the ongoing problem of not knowing when it is safe to pull the previous day's data from Google via the API, since the report is a push report and Google is determining when to send it to you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Re: Http status code for soap fault
I've been following this thread with curiosity. Given the variety of ways that the various search engine marketing APIs (so I'm not just picking on Google here) use to signal an error (500, refused connections, ignored connections, as well as the ever popular method of just sending back some formatted HTML and CSS that says "we too D**N busy now try again in 15 minutes"), why would you presume that 200 always means OK? Just treat 200 as "potentially" OK and then check to see if it has an error/fault structure in it. If it doesn't then you're probably good to go. If it does, well now you know what the error is and can do something about it. I gave up trusting the exact HTTP responses from these APIs a long time ago - try to imagine the amount of code behind them on the engine side of things. There's always going to be something buggy or just plain "strange" no matter how hard they try to make them perfect. my 2 cents! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API API Login problems
We manage advertising for a number of clients, and earlier this week decided that it was time to do a periodic change of the all the adWords logins. All has gone fine except for three accounts. I can log into them via the adWords GUI just fine, and their account preferences look just fine (we didn't change any of the preferences or privs for the accounts, just the passwords). But the login attempts to the API fail, as if the username or password were incorrect. I've even tried recreating one of the accounts' data in our database (which is where the login data that gets sent to the API comes out of), thnking that maybe the old data got corrupted or something like that, but still using the login info that works on the GUI, and it still fails. The accounts are setup on adWords as having Administrative access, which is the same as the setup for other accounts whose passwords were changed and are working just fine! Any ideas?

AdWords API Re: Getting a user-friendly text from an exception in v200909
How about this - provide an API service that simply accepts a target language and returns an XML doc (or CSV, I don't really care but think that XML would be better suited to the international usage) containing the error codes and a translated string and any other information on the nature of the error. That way we'd just have to periodically (each night, for instance) load up a local copy for our code to reference. I'm not saying that you need to translate to every language on earth, but I think that you have a good handle on where your API is used and could take a stab at it. I think that something more structured than the information in the docs is needed, otherwise the burden is going to fall on each and every developer that uses your adWords API to implement what I just described, based on those docs, and to try and keep up to date as new errors are encountered. Not really a very bring picture. Maybe those guys with the Google Translate API could help out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API V2009 API SOAP/XML Examples?
I was watching today's V2009 migration webinar, but wasn't quick enough on getting this question submitted: Is there any chance of getting samples of the raw SOAP XML and their corresponding webservice response XML docs for a couple of the services? Services such as Campaign, AdGroup, AdGroupAd & AdGroupCriterion would be perfect. This would go a long ways in helping to diagnose problems. I don't use the client libraries at the moment (V13 and earlier) because dealing with multiple logins has traditionally been difficult, although it looks like the new authentication in V2009 helps to make that easier. Plus, the technology I use (Adobe ColdFusion) makes it very simple to create an XML SOAP request, pass it to a webservice and parse the XML response. thanks, -reed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Using SOAPUI with the AdWords V2009 API
Maybe I'm not doing this right, but when I feed an adWords V2009 WSDL address to soapUI all I ever get back is a skeleton SOAP doc with everything marked as "optional" and "?" characters as placeholders. No enumerations of values, etc. The WSDL seems to have that info - am I missing something? For example, if I use the ads WSDL of https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v200909/AdGroupAdService?wsdl What I get back from soapUI as a test case for Mutate is this - note that "operator" (for example) which only has legit values of ADD SET or REMOVE just shows "?" as a value.

Re: Still fighting with InfoService re API Usage
OK, so that problem was another namespace issue - the tokens only
exist in the cm namespace, not the info namespace.
But now it gave me an INVALID_DATE_RANGE and guess what, even though I
can specify the "info" namespace ("v20" in the xml example above) for
the dateRange and the selector, I have to specify the "cm" namespace
for the min and max elements!
Did I miss some documentation somewhere that spells out which are in
which namespace?
thanks,

Re: v201003 beta , ReportDefinitionService- Structure report not included ?
Any updates on how we should expect to handle negative keywords in V2010 when we use the zero-impressions option to try and mimic the results of the V13 structure reports? Structure Reports have turned out to be a great feature, especially at the keyword level, for getting all of the data for an account in a cheap, easy, manner. I'd hate to see them go away, but if they do I need to know how to handle negatives. BTW, is the only way in V2010 to get the list of report fields for the reporting service SOAP calls to perform the getReportFields API call? Is that information not in the docs anywhere? Does this mean that the data items are named the same (including case) in both the SOAP request and the returned XML doc?

Re: V2010 API SOPA/XML Examples?
Mike: Too much stuff in your header!

If you're making lots of API calls for the same client account, then you'll want to do something like have a daily task that gets the current auth token and stores it for you to use in the API calls, otherwise the auth service will start sending back a captcha challange instead of the token if you call it too often.

V2010 reporting - problems retrieving reports, what is "client customer ID" value
In a nutshell, here is my stupid question: Just what exactly is the
"CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID" that needs to be passed in the header of the GET
to pull the actual report? Believe me, I've looked all over to try
and find this defined.
The docs are a little vague on whether I need to supply the client
email and/or customer ID if I'm not using an auth token for an MCC
account ("If the authToken identifies an MCC account, specify exactly
one of these headers to generate a report for a client"). I normally
do not use MCC logins for API calls. In these cases if I only supply
the auth token for a non-MCC login, then I get the error below when I
do the HTTP GET to this URL
https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload?__rd=805527
!!!AuthenticationError.CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_IS_REQUIRED|||805527
If I supply the client email header var ("clientEmail") using the same
client email that I supplied when I retrieved the auth token, then I
get this error:
!!!ReportDefinitionError.INVALID_REPORT_DEFINITION_ID|||805527
even though the id is what was returned by the ReportDefinitionService
a few seconds earlier as mutateResponse.rval.id from request ID
5bf2504d0e7b5dcd8e97e302d050b619 to mutate ADD using the same auth
token.
>From how I read the docs, the V13 3-step process of
1. Request a Report,
2. Check on Report status until URL status is ready,
3. HTTP GET to URL from step 2,
is now in V2010 a 2-step process of
1. Mutate ADD report definition,
2. HTTP GET for report Definition ID from step 1.
It looks like a V2010 GET operation is only needed if I want to get a
list of the report definition IDs, but is not required for the actual
process of getting reports - is that correct? The "waiting" process
of V13's step 2 (which the adWords server generates the report) is now
in V2010 implicit in the HTTP GET, right?
Are report definition IDs tied to the account associated with the auth
token that did the Mutate ADD, or can they be used across accounts
(since the docs defined a report definition as only being the report
type, date range, fields, and predicates, and doesn't say anything
about the actual account whose data is being reported on)? In other
words, can I define a report then make multiple calls to the HTTP GET
url with that same report ID, but with differeing auth tokens to get
the same report layout for each of those accounts? Or do I need to do
the Mutate ADD for each of the auth tokens, with the same SOAP body of
the common report definition parameters, and then do the HTTP GET for
each pair of auth token and report definition ID?
thanks much,
-reed

Re: V2010 reporting - problems retrieving reports, what is "client customer ID" value
Thanks David, getting the correct clientEmail into both headers (MUTATE ADD, HTTP GET) solved the problem. Am still a little confused over the Client ID - is that the same as what used to be referred to as the Account ID (xxx-xxx- format number)? Now that I am getting reports back, I'm unsure about what is happening. I issued a MUTATE ADD as follows, and recevied the XML as shown. Note that not all of the requested columns in the Report Definition are appearing in the results. Even more confusing is that not all of the columns I wanted to include in the MUTATE ADD were accepted until I removed them from the SOAP request, even though they appeared in the XML that was returned from the GetReportFields call for "CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT" and that is the report type specified in the MUTATE ADD call. Specifically, the following were rejected: ViewThroughConversionsSignificance ConversionRateSignificance ConversionRateManyPerClickSignificance DeduplicationMode TargetCpa KeywordContentMaxCpc KeywordMaxCpc ProxyKeywordMaxCpc ProxySiteMaxCpc SiteMaxCpc MaxCpm Here is the SOAP request for the MUTATE ADD to define the report: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:v20="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201003"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> xxx xxx V2010 Get Report Fields x...@xxx.com ADD Name Impressions Clicks Cost Ctr AveragePosition ClickSignificance CostSignificance CostPerConversionSignificance CostPerConversionManyPerClickSignificance CtrSignificance CpcSignificance ImpressionSignificance PositionSignificance ConversionSignificance ConversionManyPerClickSignificance Status Id Amount Period ConversionOptimizerBidType EnhancedCpcEnabled AverageCpc AverageCpm ConversionRate ConversionRateManyPerClick Conversions ConversionsManyPerClick CostPerConversion CostPerConversionManyPerClick 20100622 20100622 Camp Perf Rpt CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT CUSTOM_DATE XML The XML returned listed all of the requested fields, and the ID value. When I do the HTTP GET to "https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload?__rd=816207"; This is the column definition that is returned: I asked for 11 columns, got 19 back. Not all of the ones I asked for of the 11 are in the 19, and (obviously) some of the 19 are not ones I requested. I'm happy to see values like campaignID in there, even though they were not in the list returned from the GET GetReportFields for the report. Can I depend on always seeing those fields that are returned by the report but not by the GetReportFields call? What about the ones I requested in the MUTATE ADD because they were in the list from GetReportFields, but didn't come back in the actual report? One last question: is there an explanation of just what the "SignificanceData" is that would be returned in the various "xxxSignificance" metrics? Sorry for so many questions in one posting, but they all seem to be related. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: V2010 reporting - problems retrieving reports, what is "client customer ID" value
Thanks for the clarification on terminology Eric, that helps. Also for the info on the SignificanceData - will be waiting to see what that data looks like. Below is the information returned by the following SOAP request when called for each of the report types. This is where I am getting the list of fields that I was referring to in my post as not being accepted by the actual MUTATE ADD when I tried to define the report. is there someplace where I can fote that the xml response also include the name of the corresponding field in the XML document, and maybe the description of what the data item is?

Re: Error in Ad Performance Report
I was seeing this all day yesterday, and was about to post about it when you did your posting. But today it seems to be working - if I leave out "Id" from the selector, I get back a valid xml document that includes the adID value. Yesterday I was getting the exact behavior you posted, and noticed that when it sent me back two adIDs when I included Id in the selector, they were not the same value on any of the rows. It still seems to be sporadic, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I tried it again and got !!!Unexpected exception|||1641975 This seems to only happen when I include "Headline" in the selector. I can include the Description1/2 and have no problems, but whenever the headline is in there, I get the error. If it helps, the Id that is returned from the report definition call is 1643535, and the SOAP request is http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:v20="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201003"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> xyzzy xyzzy V2010 Get Report Fields xyzzy ADD Status AdGroupId Impressions Clicks Cost Conversions CostPerConversionManyPerClick ConversionsManyPerClick ConversionRateManyPerClick DisplayUrl Url Ctr AverageCpc AveragePosition ConversionRate CostPerConversion Description2 Description1 Headline 20100708 20100708 Ad Perf Rpt AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT CUSTOM_DATE XML -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdGroup name is different between data files
I have three datafiles that are loaded every night in support of our applications: 1) Using the V2009 adGroup service API I load XML files for each client campaign's adgroup data. 2) Using the V13 reportService API I load XML files containing the structure report for each client account's keyword data. 3) using scheduled reports on the UI I receive CSV files via email for each client account's prior day keyword performance data. There are various reporting applications that look at the data loaded from these files, doing JOINs, etc., to bring the data together. Starting last week I started hearing that a specific client's data seem to be incomplete. What I found is that some of the adgroups for the account in question have 2 spaces in them. For the data loaded in steps 1 & 3 (adgroup data from V2009 API and keyword performance data from the scheduled UI report) the adgroup name has the two spaces in it. But for the data in the XML file loaded in step 2 (keyword data from V13 structure report) there is only one space. The adgroup and campaign IDs in both the V2009 and V13 reports are the same (scheduled report from UI doesn't include the IDs, just the names). Below is a row of data from the V13 XML report (the entire report is 145MB, so I won't include the whole file here). Note that I needed to sanitize a couple of the words with Aaa, Bb, etc., and also blanked out the destination URL. Report ID is 1361740270: http://www.urlurlurlurlurl"; agStatus="Enabled" campStatus="Active"> Here is one of the rows from the scheduled UI report's CSV file, sanitized as above: 7/19/10,Hot AA Q4 2009 - Broad,BB 9700 - Anti Radiation - Exact,BB 9700 radiation,Broad,Active, $0.20,6,Search Only,$500.00,$0.60,$0.00,,,http:// URLURLURLURLURLURLURL,Active,Active,1,0,0.00%,$0.00,$0.00,4.0,0,0.00%, $0.00,0,$0.00,0.0,0.0,0.0%,0.0,0,0.0,0,0.0,0,0.0,0,0.0,0,0.0 If you look closely at the CSV data, the adGroup name (third data field) has 2 spaces between "Radiation" and "- Exact", but in the XML file from the V13 structure report there is only 1 space. The XML from the V2009 adGroup report (request ID is 62d61f6428917d32b1df618cfaf85222) also shows 2 spaces in the text of the adgroup name before "- Exact": 1533761980 44370520 Hot AA Q4 2009 - Broad BB 9700 - Anti Radiation - ExactENABLED http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:type="ManualCPCAdGroupBids"> ManualCPCAdGroupBids Money60 ALLStats I am at a loss to explain this, but it is a real problem if those names don't match up. Since the V2010 reporting doesn't support structure reports, I don't have a way of running a similar report under the post-V13 API. The above data is a single example - the problem exists for multiple adgroups. All of them seem (have not confirmed this yet) to be in the same campaign. I have not checked other client accounts to see if similar problems exist in other accounts. Copies of the actual data files can be provided, but not publically.

Re: ReportDefinition
I gave it a try and added those two fields and removed the clicks/cost/ impressions/avg pos, and the report definition ran without error. But when I pull the XML report file (I tried this for a couple of different clients for dates that I know for sure they have conversion data) all I have is the header portion that lists the fields - there are no data rows. Here are a couple of sample report IDs: 417644, 2320907 Can you help me understand what the report data will look like? Will there be an individual row for each keyword /conversion combination that has non-zero data for the date range specified? In V13 there was a single row with all of the requested conversion fields, as well as the cost/clicks/impressions - Am I to understand that that data model has been replaced with a more flattened one? Seems like a lot more work on both of our ends to create such a file and process it. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: ReportDefinition
I think the situation with no data coming back might have been my error, as I tried a few other accounts and got plenty of data. On a related topic, which I think was discussed a while back but since searching on "aggregation" doesn't seem to help: Did aggregation at the date level go away for keyword performance reports in V2010? I don't see it in the docs or in SOAPUI. In other words, if I want to pull data for multiple days, do I have to issue a report request for each individual day? We normally pull data for the past 30 days (so that we can adjust our database's values for Google's click-fraud adjustments), and that would be a lot of reports to have to pull. thanks -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: ReportDefinition
I added Date to the selector to get daily totals, but this seems to imply zero impressions. If I include it as a selector for keyword performance, then the only keywords I get in the report are those with impressions. If I leave it out, then I get all keywords. The implication is that I can only get zero impression reports for a single day at a time. Is this the correct interpretation of how it should be working? thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: Ad Performance Report ProxyMaxCPC(cost) inconsistencies...
The same thing happened to me today for the keyword performance report for 10/2/10 data. Only one report had the problem - reports for that client's other adWords accounts were ok, and (as far as I can tell), reports for other clients were OK. Plus, this account's report that was pulled yesterday (for 10/1/;10 data) was good. I guess I need to start checking the "cost" value to see if it contains a "." and divide by 100 if it doesn't?

My selector includes Date so that I can when needed run a single report across multiple days to get keyword (or other) performance at the daily level. See last week's discussion on this topic.

Making performance data add up
I'm stuck on getting all the numbers to add up. I'm using the v201008 api. I pull keyword performance reports each day at the account level. I also pull managed placement performance reports, at the account level. An I pull account performance data. For about 75% of our accounts, everything adds up - the keyword data plus the managed placement data equals the account level summary data. For the others, there is a variance. I've tracked down some cases to be due to banner ads, and another to be video ads. I'm stuck on how to best address this - do I need to pull add performance data for an account and then plow through it looking for banner and video ads, and add them into the mix? Is there another way to do this? I thought about pulling campaign performance reports, but that means that I would have to have a list somewhere (and somehow maintain it) of the campaigns that are video or that have banners (and what if a campaign had both banner and keyword ads?) but that seems to be a nightmare solution. help! -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: Making performance data add up
Eric: A previous posting response on this topic indicated that automatic placement have their data included in the keyword performance report. Did you mean to say managed placements in your reply? By comparing the details of the data I get via the API for keyword performance and managed placements performance, with what I see on the web interface, I find campaigns that contain only display network activity to be entirely missing from the data pulled via the keyword performance reports. That makes sense, since they don't have keywords. I also saw a similar situation with an account that had some video ads. When I say that the data is "missing" what I am saying is that the totals (clicks, impressions, cost, etc) don't add up to the data that comes in the account performance reports for a given account on a given day. Where I was going with my post was to get a confirmation that the only way to get that type of "missing" information is to download the ad performance reports via the API, and then extract from that data the rows for display network, etc. I don't see a way to use a filter on the ad performance report definition to tell it to not send me search network data, since the filtering seems to be a matter of specifying criteria for inclusion, and not criteria for excluding certain data. It would be nice if that were possible, because pulling the ad performance report for highly active accounts results in pretty large files, 99% of which is the search network activity. So it boils down to two questions: Am I going in the right direction to get the pieces of "missing" data, and 2) is there any other source of data that flows into the account performance reports that I am not taking into account? thanks much, Reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

CSV files have leading apostrophes on modified broad keywords
I think this started happening around the 24th - at least that's when people started complaining about the data I'm loading. I'm seeing the following: When I request keyword performance files I specify CSV as the format. In cases where there are modified broad match keywords, I'm seeing the keywords being specified as '+word+word, I would think that it should be "+word+word", if the goal was to escape the text string, but really +word+word, should be just as good - there's no real need to escape the string. This is not Excel CSV format, just CSV format. I'm getting around this by always checking for a leading apostrophe in a keyword, and dropping it whenever it occurs, but this seems like a bug to me.

One of the postings there indicated that I needed to include automatic placements, which of course is problematic at the moment via the API. So here is my question, which I realize is more of an adWords question than an API question, but trust me that I've been through all the adWords help screens that I can consume, and cannot find a definitive answer to this question: In the "old days" there was just the search network and the content network, and performance information for the content network came back in the keyword reports for a given adgroup with the keyword "content" inserted. One row of data for each day. Life was simple. Placements came along around 2 or so years ago and brought increased control over the serving done by the content network, via Placement Targeting. The keyword reports were renamed Keyword/Placement reports, and continued to show the activity, but now for placement targeted serving activity the name of the placement was used as the keyword. Life was still good. Now (today) we have a few terms being used that seem to be overlapping or identical. "Targeted Placements" are now "Managed Placements" as far as I can tell. Are "Automatic Placements" the same as what were once just called "content" ads and also sometimes in the current adWords documents called "contextual" ads? Or are there three buckets of network activity: Contextutual, Managed Placement, Automatic Placement, and if so are they distinct or overlapping? Thanks for helping to clear this up in mind!

API Support for remarketing reporting?
A couple of other threads from the Sept/Oct timeframe have talked about the API and setting up remarketing campaigns. I'm more interested in the reporting side - getting the performance data from remarketing campaigns. I have at least one client that's running remarketing campaigns and their performance data does not appear in the keyword or managed placements performance reports. Is it possible to get this data at this time via the API? At the API workshop in NYC in September there was mention of a newer rev of the API and that it would have some level of support for remarketing. Any Status? As always, thanks!

TargetingIdeaService - authentication problems
I'm doing my first dabbling with the TargetingIdeaService, using SOAP from previous posting replies as a model, to get monthly search volume numbers. See below for the SOAP that I am sending to "https:// adwords.google.com/api/adwords/o/v201003/TargetingIdeaService". Initially I got a 500 error "authToken is missing in SoapHeader" which seemed odd because the authToken is in the header of the SOAP document, and the only API call that I've encountered so far that wanted the authToken in the http header was to download reports in the reportService. Just for grins I added it to the HTTP header, and the error changed to "AuthenticationError.OAUTH_TOKEN_HEADER_INVALID" but I know the token is good because it is working for other API calls I am making to reportService, campaignService, etc. As a side note, how do I get monthly search volumes for a specific month? Any more examples coming in the php library for TargetingIdeaService? thanks, Reed SOAP: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:cm="https:// adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201003" xmlns:o="https:// adwords.google.com/api/adwords/o/v201003" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/ 2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> xxx xxx V201003 Mo Search Vol xxx genealogy EXACT en US EXACT BROAD KEYWORD IDEAS KEYWORD AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES COMPETITION TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES 0 2 -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdPerformanceReport - zero impressions?
Is it legitimate to have a predicate for zero impressions in an Ad Performance Report? I'm trying to get all of the adcopy in one CSV file (instead of the XML file that I get from the Ad Service) because the size of some of the XML files are too big to process (700+MB once they are unzipped).

Re: Keywordless "Dynamic Search Ad" in AdGroupAdService
I'll second that request. We still have to use some pretty hokey code that uses the adgroup performance report and looks for specific text in the campaign name to identify DSAs. I realize that they wont' show up in the criteria report, but if they could be identified in the ad performance report and adgroup performance reports as being DSA that would be perfect. thanks, reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

When is it safe to load PLA performance data?
Reading recent posts about when it is safe to load various types of criterion... PLAs seem to take a long time to settle down in terms of data not changing. Sometimes on the order of a week or more. Is that really due to click-fraud adjustments, or are there other things we need to be concerned with? We're using the criteria perf report to identify the PLAs - which is a great improvement over the previous API versions. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Definitive way to identify Remarketing data in creiteria perf report
I think we've talked around this topic on a few posts in the past, but it's still nto clear to me that there is a definitive method for identifying which data in the criteria perf report is from Remarketing campaigns. I see lots of the "boom" lists, but have never been certain as to whether criteriaType='User List" always means that the campaign is remarketing. Seems like I've been seeing user lists longer than there were remarketing lists. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

GDN keyword-based placements - what will the performance data look like?
[thought I posted this a few weeks ago, but cannot find it in a search, so hopefully this is not a duplicate post] The Google Display Network is changing how placement matches are performed, moving from the "theme" approach of trying to match the collective group of an adgroup's keywords against possible content looking for a match, to one that looks pretty much like the way the "search" side has worked - matching specific keywords in the adgroup against possible content. The question is, how is this data going to look in the performance reports? In the past, the criterion and keyword reports have used the dummy "content" keyword to indicate automatic placements, and for managed placements have included the sitename as the keyword. Now there is going to be a "real" keyword to report on. How does that fit in? There will also be keyword level URLs, complete with tracking parameters; how does that picture look in the data that will be coming back? We have clients that have been whitelisted for this, but until we know how the data is going to look we're hesitant to set this live without knowing that we will be able to make sense out fo the data coming back in the performance reports. Being able to identify the data belonging to these keywords is crucial, as is knowing the destination URL that was triggered (to get the tracking data). thanks -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Reports taking forever to load
Anyone else seeing problem with reports taking forever to load today? We upgraded to the 201109_01 library yesterday, and now every report we pull (keyword perf, criteria perf, campaign perf, etc etc) is taking 25+ minutes to load - even the small ones that usually take only a second. We rolled back to the 201109 library, still see the same problem.
