Re: Deleted ProductPartition criterion becomes a Product criterion - is this correct

2014-09-10 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi John, I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're asking, but if you simply set the bids to zero, that will disable any bidding on that BiddableAdGroupCriterion. This is, as Chuck suggested, a much better solution than removing and re-adding nodes to the partition tree as products go out o

Re: Sub-Divide Existing Product Parition

2014-08-29 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi there, To subdivide an existing partition, I'd actually recommend deleting the entire tree (by deleting the root node) and reuploading it, as it's going to be significantly easier from an implementation point of view. The only exception is if you can't upload your tree in one go, in which ca

Re: Receiving the Error REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED when creating Partitions.

2014-08-28 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi Eshaan, Yes, that's definitely an edge case that complicates things. You can, however, still delete a subtree of the entire partition tree in the same way (by simply deleting the root node of the subtree) and rebuild from there. The details will of course be highly specific to your use case

Re: Canadian taxonomy missing for Product Groups

2014-08-26 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi Hans, Category bidding is a new feature (not present in PLAs) which is not yet available in all markets, hence why you're not able to see any results for Canada. You should still be able to create campaigns with other dimensions, though, including the user-defined product type. Cheers, Sérg

Re: Can't create Product Partition in a Shopping Campaign

2014-08-20 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi there, I think the issue might be that the tree you're creating is invalid, in that it only has a root node. Take a look at our sample code; it creates a full tree, using some utilities that should make your life a lot easier: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/exampl

Re: Possible to use Bulk Mutate when creating Shopping Partition Trees?

2014-08-15 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi Eric, It's not currently possible to create product partitions with the MutateJobService, I'm afraid. Your best bet is to create the entire partition tree in one go (instead of with 3 separate requests) with the AdGroupCriterion service mutate call. You can do this by assigning a negative n

Hi Eshaan, We are still on track for the deprecation, yes. We're working to solve these issues as soon as possible, and in the meantime we can only recommend using the category descriptions you get back from the ConstantDataService to match up to the PLA descriptions as closely as possible. Ch

Re: Unable to Edit Existing Product Partition

2014-08-08 Thread Shopping API Team
Hi Eric, The best approach, if your tree isn't exceptionally large, is to delete the entire tree and re-upload it. IDs will be preserved for items that do not change and have the same parent, so it shouldn't be an issue. If your trees are large enough that you can't upload them in their entiret

Hi Eric, I'm afraid I'm having trouble replication your issue locally. I've set up a partition tree with a NegativeAdGroupCriterion and had no trouble deleting the whole thing by just deleting the base node. Perhaps the tree you're testing this with is in an inconsistent state? Could you try c

Hi Eshaan, Reporting will still work and you'll still be able to get data for those partitions, but by modifying the case value of a partition or changing its parent, you'll get a new ID for it. This means that if you rely on IDs on your end, it may make it tricky to match things up between the
