Re: Ad Parameter feature requests
Hi Danial, thanks for passing that on to the dev team. It occurred to me while upgrading my sitelink code to the new feeds that these would be ideal for handling parameters. They seem to be designed to do exactly what the params require :) You may need to add a CriteriaFeedService to replicate current behavior and an AdFeedService would be useful as well.

Ad Parameter feature requests
HI, probably too late for the (hopefully) soon released API next version, but I have a few feature requests for the parameter side of the api which would be great to see in a new release, I'll be honest and while most of the API is great, it does feel like the parameters were tagged on last minute.. Anyway I digress, the features: - Ability to have partial failures for mutate operations - I know that parameters are probably less like to fail than other types of operation, but things happen and it would be nice to not retry the whole list of operations for a mistake - current the main problem I have and strictly speaking it is a human issue is deleted keywords not getting propagated to my local db when made by rogue users on the web interface, but I guess other things such as illegal values could creep in there. - Ability to do bulk jobs with parameters, would be great to fire these off in the background and just grab the results - Ability to have a default value for a group/ad and not specify a param for each keyword As you can see the big problem for me is dealing with a large number of parameter updates, I can't see a simpler way around it when you have 10s (close to a 100) of thousands of "products" in your campaigns and the associated million or so keywords. Trying to push through parameter changes seems to be a slow process compared to the elegant nature of other updates, especially as you easily hit "Rate Exceeded" errors if you are not careful Thanks and continue the great work John -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.
