RateExceededError retryAfterSeconds

2012-06-19 Thread Minh

Hi

Today I noticed that the sandbox is returning retryAfterSeconds of zero 
seconds. I have my application set to wait exactly the number of seconds 
returned  before retrying the api call. It retries up to a certain limit 
before giving up. Because the value returned is zero, my application would 
instantly retry and still get RateExceededError, and so it quickly hits the 
retry limit.

Here's part of the soap body message the log generates


RateExceededError.RATE_EXCEEDEDRateExceededErrorRATE_EXCEEDED0


Is this a bug in the sandbox? It used to always return 30seconds and then 
would be successful on the next retry but now that it is zero, it quickly 
fails after 3 attempts. The API should be returning a figure that is close 
to the correct amount of time to wait, zero clearly isn't this figure.

Re: API usage costs

2012-06-19 Thread jeremy brooks

The current rate card says
 1 unit per 
ReportDefinition
 1 unit per  
ReportDefinitionField

I have two questions:

Does that mean that, for instance, a keyword report requesting 35 fields 
would cost 36  units total?  

Does the cost change with quantity of keywords?

Thanks,
Jeremy

trouble using sandbox in Java

2012-06-19 Thread nachomac

Hello,
I'm going crazy trying to get a sandbox AdWordsUser in Java. This is my 
adwords.properties:
email=a_non_mcc_acco...@gmail.com
password=mypassword
clientId=9xx-xxx-xxx
userAgent=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.1; Windows XP)
developerToken=a_non_mcc_acco...@gmail.com++USD
alternateUrl=https://adwords-sandbox.google.com

What am I doing wrong? What email should I use? Does it have to be an 
adwords account? Please clarify.
Thanks a lot

NoMethodError on TrafficEstimatorService using Ruby 1.9

2012-06-19 Thread Roman Fuchs

Hi,

I'm using Ruby to query the TrafficEstimatorService:

srv = self.get_service(:TargetingIdeaService)
selector = {
:requested_attribute_types => ['CRITERION', 
'GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES'],
:search_parameters => [ { :xsi_type => 
'RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter', :keywords => keyword_params } ],
:idea_type => 'KEYWORD',
:request_type => 'STATS',
:paging => { :start_index => 0, :number_results => PAGE_SIZE }
  }
page = srv.get(selector)

When using Ruby 1.9.3 I get a NoMethodError:

undefined method `lower_camelcase' for "text":String
   
   - *file:* parameters_validator.rb 
   - *location:* handle_namespace_override 
   - *line: *113


Is this a problem on some auto-generated Ruby API stubs? The appropriate 
syntax for this operation would be:
> "test_string".camelize(:lower)

Re: AddAdGroups.php gives error

2012-06-19 Thread Kevin Winter

Hi,
  One of my colleagues suggested that PHP's error logs may contain some 
useful info.  He said that it sounds like PHP itself could be crashing - 
which can't be caught by the script.  If that doesn't work, another thing 
to try is to try running this from commandline - it may write something to 
console that helps debug this.

YouTube Promoted Video ad -- possible to create in sandbox?

I would like to model the creation of a YouTube Promoted Video ad using the 
API, but I'm blocked by not having a valid MediaId for the video. I there 
any way in a sandbox context to obtain or simulate a valid MediaId for a YT

can't be done at this time?

Re: What Combination of API Reports Equals the Web GUI's MCC Accounts View?

2012-06-19 Thread Kevin Winter

Hi,
  In an ideal world, running any report and a campaign report with no 
predicates should have totals that match.  However, due to various objects, 
criteria, etc that are currently not exposed via the API, when you run a 
lower level report, any criteria (such as zip codes) which are not 
available in the API will be filtered out of the response (so there is no 
row entry and the totals don't include this value).  The higher level 
reports (Account, Campaign, etc) can't see which parts of the campaign are 
for these un-exposed objects and will include metrics for them.

This means that you won't be able to duplicate the UI screen you are 
currently looking at (which is effectively the Campaign report) by using 
the lower level reports.

I'd be happy to try to reproduce this and figure out what exactly is 
causing the discrepancy (since my example doesn't match your report types). 
 Can you please send me the ReportDefinition XML you are sending via AdHoc 
reports and the CID you are querying against?  Sending them offlist would 
be fine.

 Hi,
   The UI is obviously updated more frequently than the API - we lean 
 towards more stable and less frequent updates for API changes.

 The API therefore lags behind the UI in some features. In particular, 
 there are a few objects that are filtered from the API, which could 
 explain 
 these discrepancies.

 Dynamic Search Ads will not come back in the API: 
 http://adwords.blogspot.com/2011/10/introducing-dynamic-search-ads-beta.html

 Video Campaigns for AdWords for video will not have any of their stats 
 visible via the API: http://www.google.com/ads/video/

 The UI is a dashboard intended to give an overview of account data. 
  The reporting API is intended to provide access to various types of 
 statistics related to your account.  It is not a stated goal of the API to 
 duplicate UI functionality (for example, the keyword tool in the UI 
 requires use of both TES and TIS to correctly mimic the UI).

 If the objects I mentioned above fail to explain your missing data, it 
 would be useful if we could get more specifics - what account, what type 
 of 
 information are you looking at in the UI, what reports and fields are you 
 using, etc.

Hi,
  I apologize for the delay, I wanted to research this and make sure I had

invalid CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES

2012-06-19 Thread Sander Blokzijl

Hi,

i'm glad to see that there is a solution for the CATEGORY_ID from the 
TargetingIdeaSelector, Good Work!

the only problem i'm having now is that the service 
returns CATEGORY_PRODUCTS_AND_SERVICES id's that aren't in the resource 
document 'Products & Service Categories'. 

so the following question is:

Are those id's invalid (a bug of the service)? or are there missing 
categories in the resource document?

Cheers,
Sander Blokzijl

Re: Reports without the Totals line

2012-06-19 Thread Daniel Altman

Yes, that is what we ended up doing.
We LOAD DATA into an intermediate table and then we use a stored procedure 
to copy from there to the "real" table.

As the first column in the report is numeric, but the "Total" word is on 
that column, we had to make that column a varchar on the intermediate table.

Also we have to take care of cleaning up te intermediate table, etc... it 
can be done, but all of these just because of the missing feature does not 
make sense, specially because you would only use a CSV report to import it 
to another system.

Thanks for the reply!

Re: Number of failed operations

2012-06-19 Thread Danial Klimkin

Hello Vitaly,

We do not provide this information via the API currently. I suggest keeping 
logs with all operation results (including units cost) on the client side 
for monitoring and statistics.

Re: Sandbox not generating 5 new accounts

2012-06-19 Thread Danial Klimkin

Hello John,


Once you made a getCampaigns request, your sandbox account is initialized. 
The next step is to get the list of accounts (see 
example)
 
and choose a sub-account to use.

As by default you are 'hitting' an MCC account which can have no campaigns, 
you will always get an empty response. Use the client_customer_id key to 
specify an account under the mcc.

Also, I've recently published a rails-based demo application you may find 
useful, see 
source
.

 Hello mwunit11,


 The very first request to the sandbox needs to be getCampaigns in order 
 for it to initialize properly.

 In case it was the first one but you still see no accounts created, 
 please try initializing a new sandbox with another Google account.

Re: how adwords maintains frequency cap time unit

2012-06-19 Thread Danial Klimkin

Hello rr,

This forum is focused on the questions specific to the API part of the 
AdWords. I suggest to check with the general AdWords support resources for 
product-related questions like this one, see:

  http://support.google.com/adwords/

I believe it is the latter.

Re: Reports without the Totals line

Hi Daniel,

I'm also using the LOAD DATA feature to import the reports. A simple way is 
to import the data and afterwards delete the total line. Works good for me.

Keywords disappear

2012-06-19 Thread Artur Meinzer

I was trying to delete some keywords and I got an error which says 
"INVALID_ID". It seems that these keywords don't exist in the live account, 
but in my database they exist. They were downloaded some time ago using the 
keywords performance report and I update them every day. How can this be? I 
have a group in the database which has 83 keywords, but in the live account 
there are only 42 and no deleted keywords.

Thanks in advance,
Artur

Re: Using reports to sync account structure

Thanks David.

How else would you recommend one gets only the account structure in a way 
that remains consistent? Is there any other way an account structure can be 
fetched without using the method I described?

 Hi,

 What is the best way to synchronize our local database record of the 
 account structure with that from the API?

 We can get the x_performance_report for each entity and compare the 
 return result with what we have locally.  However, we believe the 
 performance reports do NOT return all the entities (that don't have data) 
 even when includeZeroImpressions is set to TRUE as confirmed by the 
 following:

 http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/zero-impression-data-in-adwords-api.html
 "...but be aware that setting it to "true" does not guarantee that 
 zero-impression rows will be returned.".

 How else can one ensure we're getting back all the account entities 
 irrespective of their performance data or statuses, etc.

Re: What are these two fields in performnace reports?

2012-06-19 Thread Oliver

Thanks David.

1) So what is the semantics of the 'IsNegative' field in the Keywords 
Performance Report?  Is it saying this is a negative keyword in the adgroup?

2) Which keyword is the 'keywordId' in the SearchQuery Report referring 
to?  Is this the keyword that triggered this search query?

Thanks
