Exception occured on report validation / generation! The operation has timed out

[Marius Toma]

Hi All,

I have in my MCC 2 accounts with almost 2 millions adverts. 
When i try to get a full report with both performing and not performing 
adverts i get the following Exception. 
I have to mention that for the other accounts the code is working correctly.
I am using Adwords API v201109 for c#.net.


Exception occured on report validation / generation! The operation has 
timed out

Can you advice me what to do in order to get this report.

Thank you,
Marius

Hmmm... I'll have to perform some more testing. Is there any way to turn 
off the "suggestions" and just get entries whose LocationName could 
rationally be said to be "equal" to the requested value?

Re: About params on Adwords API

[Eric Koleda]

Hi Eduardo,

When using ad parameters you must set the value on every keyword in the ad 
group.  There is no simple way to check that it's working correctly, other 
than the ad preview tool:

Re: SSL timeout errors

[Eric Koleda]

Hi,

I'm not aware of any widespread timeout issues for the API.  An AdWords API 
request may take up to 4 minutes to complete, so please ensure that 
HTTPS/SSL connections can remain open that long in your network.

It's also possible to use predicates in the AdGroupCriterionService, if 
you'd rather not use reports.

Re: Carrier Targeting CriterionError.CANNOT_TARGET_CRITERION

Hi Eric,

It looks like some of those carriers are no longer targetable, and have 
been removed from the UI as well.  We'll work on updating the documentation 
to reflect this change.

Re: Filter Search Query Performance report by keywordId?

[Eric Koleda]

Hi All,

Although we don't display it in that table in the documentation, the 
ReportDefinitionService.getReportFields() results indicate whether or nor a 
field can be filtered on, and KeywordId doesn't support it:


  KeywordId
  Keyword ID
  keywordID
  long
  true
  *false*
  false

Re: Updated PHP API Library, recieve Unmarshalling Error: cvc-elt.4.3 when edit keyword

The parameter order in the constructor may change between versions, so it's

Re: LocationCriterionService Selector returns bogus values

[Eric Koleda]

Hi Aaron,

The short answer is that the LocationCriterionService returns suggested 
locations given your input, and those suggestions may occasionally include 
some seemingly off-topic results.  For the input "Abbeville, Alabama" I 
wasn't able to get the behavior you're seeing, so it may have been a 
temporary issue.

Re: Missing Keyword Data

[Eric Koleda]

Hi Manuel,

I'm not aware of any delays in the reporting system.  If you have more 
technical information you can share please let us know.

 Hi All,

 The core engineering team has confirmed that some accounts may

 the differences you are seeing.  They are working to eliminate this delay

Re: InfoService v201109 error

[Eric Koleda]

Hi Denis,

I believe the results should be the same regardless of whether or not the 
account is a Google Apps for your domain account.  If you just want to get 
information about your sub-accounts then you should use the 
ServicedAccountService instead.

Re: Dynamic Search Ads missing in Ad Performance Report

[okiebug1...@gmail.com]

Hello Kevin,
Please keep this thread alive for updates on Google's progress in adding 
this mission critical missing data to the reporting web services.  We 
cannot balance to invoices and keep our "bean counters" happy without it.  

This is very similar to Google's Remarketing Campaigns' launch, and 
Google's eventual reporting via a CRITERIA_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.  When 
AdGroups lack keywords a literal value of "boomuserlist::nn" is 
present in the keywordPlacement column.  

For instance:
 

Please keep our accounting teams happy and press the team to get this data 
exposed as soon as possible.

David

Restricting console output

[Sid]

Hi

I'm updating max_cpc via the python API to my Adwords account. I would like 
to restrict the amount of console output so that I can email the output to 
myself in the cron and keep track of success/failures. However the size of 
SOAP messages is so large that my mail server is unable to mail the output 
to me. Are there specific flags I can use to suppress the console messages? 
Ideally I'd only like to be able to see what I explicitly print out in my 
code as the email content. Snippet from my code:

for row in rows:
  ad_group_id = str(row[0])
  criterion_id = str(row[1])
  max_cpc = row[2]
  operations = [{
  'operator': 'SET',
  'operand': {
  'xsi_type': 'BiddableAdGroupCriterion',
  'adGroupId': ad_group_id,
  'criterion': {
  'id': criterion_id,
  },
  'bids': {
  'xsi_type': 'ManualCPCAdGroupCriterionBids',
  'maxCpc': {
  'amount': {
  'microAmount': max_cpc
  }
  }
  }
  }
  }]
  try:
   ad_group_criteria = ad_group_criterion_service.Mutate(operations)[0]
  except Exception as e:
   print "Failed to update bid (%s,%s,%s) for account %s Exception %s" 
%(ad_group_id,criterion_id,max_cpc,input_account,e)
 print str(cursor.rowcount) + " Bids updated for account " + input_account

1. Is the call succeeding for any other services? Or is it just

2. Is the call succeeding with a new token at least once?

 Hi Simon,

 Almost forgot to mention: since you are making calls to the sandbox, 
 you need to initialize the sandbox and use the clientCustomerIds in it.

 1. In your Web.config, you should have email/password as your gmail 
 email/password. Comment out clientCustomerId.
 2. Call GetCampaigns.cs. Reference example is at  
 http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/v201109/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.cs.
  
 This will initialize your sandbox.
 3. Call GetAccountHiearchy.cs. Example here:  
 http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/v201109/AccountManagement/GetAccountHierarchy.cs.
  
 This will return the sandbox accounts that were created for you.
 4. Copy one of those customerIds into your 
 web.config's clientCustomerId key, and uncomment the key.
 5. Run any code example.

Re: AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID

[Zweitze]

Thanks for your input. However, the authentication token is usually seconds 
to minutes old and never older than a day.
BTW our development environment does not use the sandbox. We use real 
accounts, configured for testing.

Re: AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID

[Sander Blokzijl]

Hi,

I encountered several times the same error, in my case regenerating 
the authentication token was enough to fix it. An authentication token is 2 
weeks available and then needs to be renewed (as in my experience). the 
only weird thing it works in your development environment.. but if you are 
testing in the sandbox version i think the authentication is simplified and 
an expired auth token (maybe) will be ignored and don't give you a error.

Good luck,
Sander

every time we call an API function - usually ServicedAccountService.get()
 
Sample requestId: 0004bcaca5492e200aec208720f2
Soap detail:
 
  https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/mcm/v201109"; xmlns:ns2="
https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201109";> 
AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID @  
Service[ServicedAccountService.get] 

ApiException 
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="ns2:AuthenticationError"> 
   
   
   
   
  
AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID
 

  AuthenticationError 
  GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID 
 
   

 
This happens on the production server only. Running in an development 
environment, with the *same* authentication token, gives no problems. We 
tried this with (far) over one hundred accounts, all giving this error.
 
Thanks in advance,
Zweitze.
 
PS: I also mailed this to adwordsapi-support@google. Apparently that 
address isn't monitored that well anymore, last time it took six(!) days 
before I got a response. Please note this is very urgent for us.

Re: ad hoc report vs api get calls

[Ewan Heming]

 

Hi,


1. Most of the get requests currentlyonly cost 1 unit per 
call, 
so for example, if you download 10 campaigns, adgroups, keywords, or ads, 
it will cost you 10 units. If you need to download a large number of items 
in one go, then you can try using a 
MutateJob, 
which is slower but reduces the API unit charges.


 2. If you use the report service then you will need to write code to 
populate the objects available in the client libraries; there's currently 
no features available in the libraries to do it for you, but it would be a 
useful addition.


 3. You're likely to need to use more than one report to get all the data 
you need; even if you use get requests you would need to make more than one 
call. There's also some fields not available in reports. They work best as 
a way to quickly download a large amount of data to populate a database; 
many databases have bulk load features that can import flat files like 
csv's very fast. I usually download data into MySQL, then use some form of 
ORM library to work with the objects themselves.


Regards, 


Ewan

Re: adhoc Report

[Ewan Heming]

Ad Hoc reports can be downloaded in a single request without having to 
create and upload a ReportDefinition first; this makes the process simpler 
to implement, places less load on the AdWords API servers (making reporting 
faster), and reduces the API unit costs to zero (as there was no charge for 
downloading reports from the API before, but creating a ReportDefinition 
cost 400 units).

Re: Filter campaigns by bidding strategy

[Ewan Heming]

No, there isn't, but you can pull a report that lists the campaigns based 
on the eligibility criteria: ie having received at least 15 conversions in 
the past 30 
days.
 You 
can then use the campaign ids from the report in a get request to query the 
actual optimizer eligibility property.

how to get Campaign Country, Language and Device

[Charles Best]

Hi,
I'm looking for a way (different from report) to get Campaign information 
about "Countries", "Languages" and "Devices" configuration.

I thought to take this way but it gives me just the Languages:

$user = $this->getUser(); 
$user->SetClientId('0123456789');
$campaignService = $user->GetService('CampaignCriterionService', 'v201109');

$selector = new Selector();
$selector->fields = array('Id', 'LanguageName', 
'LanguageCode','CarrierCountryCode', 'GeoPoint', 
'LocationName','DisplayType');
$selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('CampaignId', 'EQUALS', 
'0123456789');
$selector->paging = new Paging(0, 20);

$value = $campaignService->get($selector);
var_dump($value);

How can I get all the other information?
Is this the wrong method?

Thanks

Local monthly search volumes in API requests do not match queries in Keywoord Tool

[Martin]

Hi!

We've noticed differences in the AdWords API (Targeting Idea Service - 
Stats) requests when comparing with manual queries using the Keyword Tool.

Examples that are not matched by the AdWords API (but with reasonable 
values in the Keyword Tool):

sba (sweden/swedish local targeting)
ginseng (sweden/swedish local targeting)
aloe vera (sweden/swedish local targeting)

sba (norway/norwegian local targeting)
ginseng (norway/norwegian local targeting)
aloe vera (norway/norwegian local targeting)

sba (denmark/danish local targeting)
ginseng (denmark/danish local targeting)
aloe vera (denmark/danish local targeting)

I would normally expect the same response from both API and Keyword Tool, 
but I know that this has been an issue in the past (for some keywords). 
We've waited for quite some time for this update to propagate to the API 
before raising the following questions:

Is this a known issue that is being worked on?

Do you need help finding further examples?

Is this available in v201109?

Thank you.

Re: OAuth with Google's AdWords API AuthenticationError

[baynezy]

Anash,
Thanks very much for your help on this. I think I have solved the problem, 
I think it is because my Gmail account has the 2-legged authentication 
turned on. I am using a different account now and it is now working.

Thanks.

Simon

 Hi Simon,

 I see... let's get a code example running in that case...

 The easiest approach is as follows:

 1. Make sure your Web.config looks exactly as follows: 
 http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/trunk/examples/adwords/csharp/App.config.
  
 In case you have other stuff in your Web.config, you need to merge the two.

 2. Enter your MCC email, password, clientCustomerId, developerToken in 
 your Web.config.
 3. In your code, do

 AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser();// this loads all configs from 
 your Web.Config
 CampaignService service = (CampaignService) 
 user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201109.CampaignService);
 // Build your campaign, operation, do service.mutate(). Refer to the 
 examples folder in the downloaded zip for various code examples.

 4. Run your website. If you face any issues, let me know, along with 
 the error you are facing.

 Cheers,
 Anash
