Many Questionsregarding Bulk Mutation, [RateExceededError <rateName=RequestsPerMinute, rateKey=new_qps, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30>]

[javeed]

Hi, 

I have couple of questions to ask Regarding Bulk Mutation Job service.

1. If have i have more than 1 big campaigns to publish, which has around 
200 adgroups, couple of thousands of Keywords. How many API quota will be 
used. If i am mutating everything in a single mutations.
2. Then i try to send  more than 6 Mutation Request i am getting the 
following error [RateExceededError ]
3. In the 1st Question, if i mutate all the above campaigns. And some where 
i got API error.it is very hard to track which Keyword and which adgroup 
has that API error. Can i get which as adgroup is having that problem.or 
which keyword has caused the error.

And i am suing Sandbox for the above all

Thank you so much for Bulk mutations. ITs saves lot of time but please help 
me out with the above issues i am having.

AdHoc reports without developer key

[exner.cur...@googlemail.com]

Is it possible to generate AdHoc reports without an approved developer key?
I only want to export simple keyword performance reports, but my developer 
key is not approved yet.

Re: Report contents are invalid. - !!!1|||-1|||Unexpected exception???

[Kevin Winter]

Hi,
  I can confirm this error message is a temporary internal error.  The 
thread processing the request took too long to return results, so rather 
than continue (possibly forever) an error gets thrown.  I'm going to see if 
we can improve the error message for this type of failure.

Re: AdHoc reports without developer key

[Ewan Heming]

Unfortunately it isn't, but you could try linking your account to Google 
Analytics and downloading the data from the Core Reporting 
API. The 
GA API's are much easier to gain access to and might contain enough data if 
you only want simple reports.

Re: Failed to Get a List of Automatic Placements via AdGroupCriterionService

[Kevin Winter]

Hi Tomer,
  The difference between automatic and managed placements is that managed 
placements are criteria (something you specify) and automatic placements 
are dynamically chosen by the system based on the other criteria associated 
with your AdGroups.  For example, if you set up automatic placements and 
keywords, a given keyword will be used to trigger an automatic placement, 
so the maxCpc, etc, will correspond to that criteria rather than the 
automatic placement.  With placements, the impression occurs on a given 
domain, which then triggers a search for a list of all possible ads, given 
configured criteria.  Once a lucky criteria was chosen the ad is displayed. 
 Managed placements are effectively criteria that say "show an ad on this 
domain" whereas a keyword could trigger an ad on any domain (within the 
configuration of your campaigns, adgroups, etc).  Therefore automatic 
placements don't have a "criteria id" since they aren't criteria, they are 
the results of other criteria. (where as a manual placement is both a 
criteria and an ad placement).

As to the fields you've listed, those seem to be mostly criteria-related 
fields.  For example, examining the maxCpc for an automatic placement would 
be difficult - there are multiple keywords that could be triggering a given 
automatic placement.  If you want more fine grained control over 
placements, we recommend using the automatic placements report to find high 
performing automatic placements and add them as manual placements 
(automatic placements will not trigger if you have an overlapping manual 
placement).

Re: Getting error "!!!1|||-1|||Unexpected exception???" while using adhoc report service

[Kevin Winter]

Hi Chirag,
  I'm working with the engineers to improve this error message.  Basically, 
this error happens when we try to run a report and something on the backend 
runs into a problem.  This could occur for a number of reasons:
- The request could take too long, so we return an error rather than 
waiting an indefinite amount of time.
- The server processing the report could be restarted mid-process.
- Anything else we don't expect that prevents this particular request from 
succeeding.

Our recommendation is to add logic to handle this type of failure and 
retry.  In general, retry logic is good to have, as individual servers 
could fail to respond, an intermediary network link could go down, etc.  If 
you see this happening repeatedly for the same request (same report 
definition/clientCustomerId), we'd like investigate further.

CaptchaRequiredError (Ruby API)

[yoshi]

Hi,

Recently I get a lot of *CaptchaRequiredError*'s using the Adwords API. I'm 
building an application that executes requests to the API frequently
using the Ruby client library. I'm using ClientLogin as authentication 
method and version v201206 of the API.

All I do is creating an instance of 
AdwordsApi::Api.new(my_hash_with_settings) and reuse it for every request.

Earlier this hasn't been a problem until now. Even if I dont touch 
the authtoken endpoint for every request (which I believe I don't) is there 
still
a request/second limit that also raises the *CaptchaRequiredError*? By the 
way, I get the same error in SANDBOX environment.

I don't know how to debug this since I havent' change anything. And I send 
the same amount of request now as then.

Regards

Re: How to download named report C#

[Ro]

Hey Kevin,

I saw in the example that there is a use of *ReportDefinition* - If I use 
this object it still free (rate wise) as the adhoc reports?

Isn't it a part of the *ReportDefinitionService*, which soon will be shut 
off?  

Looking forward for your reply!

Best,

Re: Adding CriterionUserInterest to Campaign always returns CriterionError.CANNOT_ADD_CRITERIA_TYPE

[David Torres]

Hi Tal,

Just want to tell up-front that targeting User Interests is limited to a 
subset of beta customer. If you are not in the beta program you won't be 
able to use this type of criteria via the API.

You are actually looking at 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/AdGroupCriterionService.CriterionUserInterest
 object, 
the code is very similar to adding verticals just that you have to submit 
the interest id instead of the vertical path.

Interest ids can be retrieved using this service 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/ConstantDataService#getUserInterestCriterion

Best,

-David Torres - AdWords API Team

How to get the Stats data for AdScheduling?

[WSTic]

Hello,

The schedules for the Campaigns are set from the UI (Campaigns-->Settings 
tab --> Advanced Settings--> Ad Schedule) and is not required to be managed 
automatically. However we would like to download this data automatically 
for reporting.

For Eg a Campaign xyz is scheduled to run as "Show ads all day and hours ". 
Is there a way this data("Show ads all day and hours ") for Ad Schedule  be 
downloaded along with the performance reports for Campaign. I don't see a 
column that is available on the Campaign Performance reports.

Thanks for your help
WS

Re: CaptchaRequiredError (Ruby API)

[Hudarsono Hu]

HI,

Its the same with me.

You should migrate to OAuth2 as authentication from ClientLogin. Google 
limit the number of request per minute if we use ClientLogin.

I also still migrating and is experiencing problem with the Ruby Client 
Library in OAuth2. Hopefully they will answer my email soon.

Cheers

Re: CaptchaRequiredError (Ruby API)

[yoshi]

Thanks for the answer. I will have a look at Oauth 2.0. But one thing that 
I'm curious about is, since my application doesn't involve any user input 
how do I grant
permission with Oauth2 in a convenient way? In my application the requests 
to the API is handled by a script not a user.
