AdWords API AW: AdWords API Java Class Cast Exception in new V13
Hi Daniel,
try to initialize your AdWords-user with an explicit String that indicates the
API-version:
e.g.
public static final String API_VERSION = v13;
adWordsUser = new AdWordsUser(
adWordsAccountSettings.getRootLogin(),
adWordsAccountSettings.getPassword(),
adWordsAccountSettings.getClientLogin(),
adWordsAccountSettings.getUserAgent(),
adWordsAccountSettings.getDeveloperToken(),
adWordsAccountSettings.getApplicationToken(),
API_VERSION,
null);
If you don't do that, the AdWordsUser gets initialized with 'v12' by default,
which leads to your ClassCastExceptions...
Hope this helps...
Tino

Betreff: AdWords API Java Class Cast Exception in new V13
Hi everybody!
Today i want to switch from V12 to V13 but it seems there is a little
Bug in the Java Lib with the AdwordsUser Object.
So when i try to get a ReportService i use this method:
private ReportServiceSoapBindingStub getReportService()
{
try
{
return (ReportServiceSoapBindingStub)
mAdwordsUser.getService
(AdWordsUser.REPORT_SERVICE);
}
catch (ServiceException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
But after i download the new V13 library all i get is this
ClassCastException:
java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.google.api.adwords.v12.ReportServiceSoapBindingStub cannot be cast
to com.google.api.adwords.v13.ReportServiceSoapBindingStub
In fact - all of my imports are V13 so i think that the AdwordsUser
Object always return the ReportService in V12. Would be nice if
somebody can check and fix this ... :)
Regards,
Daniel

AdWords API Re: AW: AdWords API Re: Google Adwords Keyword Insertion API Usage Rates?
Just to amend something in my previous post: I forgot that we already impose a server-side restriction on addCriteria() calls that requires all new criteria in a single call be associated with the same ad group. So passing in new criteria for multiple ad groups in a single call isn't an option. Cheers, -Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team On Nov 10, 1:34 pm, AdWords API Advisor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, As Tino points out, the cost in API units is identical regardless of the batch size you use for your addCriteria() calls. So that's not a consideration. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when deciding how to batch up your criteria: - You need to either call checkCriteria() in advance to make sure all your criteria are valid, or be prepared to handle the case where one or more of your keywords are considered invalid. If one keyword in your addCriteria() request is invalid then none of the other keywords in your request will be processed (http://code.google.com/apis/ adwords/docs/developer/adwords_api_services.html#policychecking), so that is something to consider if you're not calling checkCriteria() in advance. - If your primary concern is speed and this isn't a one-off type of operation, you may see better performance by bucketing your criteria by ad group, and only passing in criteria that are added to the same ad group in each addCriteria() call. This isn't the more important optimization and will only save you a few milliseconds at best, but it's worth mentioning. - There's some overhead involved in SOAP requests and responses, from the XML de/serialization to the time it takes for a roundtrip HTTP request. You will in general see higher throughput if you can minimize the number of total SOAP requests you make. - Your HTTP client library might be configured with a client-side timeout that will close the connection if the SOAP server takes to long in sending back a response due to a very large request. I'm not aware of any server-side timeouts that we impose--at least nothing that's hardcoded. So take all that into account. As for specific recommendations for batch sizes, you should be fine with passing several hundred criteria into an addCriteria() call. If all you're looking to do is add 10,000 keywords in a one-off operation then I don't really see much benefit in doing them more than a hundred or so at a time in a loop.

I would like to know that is it possible to send an API call (one call) of 10,000 keywords at a time using Google API? Basically I would like to reduce cost since I have to get report on more than 1 million keywords Therefore, what I am looking is to send a Packet of 10,000 keywords on each call. Is it possible? As per Google rate sheet, Google charge 20 API units to send one API call. So if I can send a packet of 10,000 keywords in one call, it should cost me 20 API Units for each call as per the rate
AdWords API Re: Report Job error: Either this object does not exist, or this user does not have permission to access it.
Hello Jeff, Right...we've implemented the semaphore suggestion as a Java thread pool with a maximum of 5 threads. However, it is unclear to me from the Report Center documentation as to whether the referenced account is an MCC account or client account. We've made the assumption it has been the client account. Is this incorrect? I find it odd that that our code can get the status of the report for a while and then it disappears. If i were to request a report job status using a bogus report identifier would I get the same message? Thanks. -Eric Trull On Nov 13, 9:09 am, AdWords API Advisor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A quick followup question: are you doing anything in your code to make sure that you don't have more than 15 active reports at any one time? As per http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/ReportService.html The Report Center stores up to 15 generated reports per account. When the sixteenth report is generated, the Report Center deletes the oldest stored report. If you're managing 200 client accounts and not waiting for each of their reports to complete before scheduling the next batch, I could see how you'd frequently exceed the limit of 15 reports active at once. Does that sound like it might be the cause? If you're not already doing so, I'd make sure that you use a semaphore if this is a threaded environment (or just a simple counter if you're single threaded) to keep track of the number of active reports request for your account. Each time you schedule a new report, decrement the semaphore, and each time a report completes and you've successfully downloaded it from its URL, increment the semaphore to indicate that you can start scheduling the next report. I have some sample code illustrating how to do this in Python as part of the AdWords API Local Database Sync project. Take a look at how the reports_semaphore Semaphore object is used in http://code.google.com/p/awapi-local-db-sync/source/browse/trunk/bin/... http://code.google.com/p/awapi-local-db-sync/source/browse/trunk/bin/... A similar approach would work in any language that supports threading.

I don't think this is related to the issue in the other thread. It's pretty easy to trigger that error when you're not supplying the appropriate MCC/client email credentials, which sounds like is what is happening in the other developer's case. In your case, your login information is fine but the SOAP fault indicates that the Report Center doesn't believe the report job ID is associated with your account.
