Re: DSA with page-feed assets and supplied URLs only via API

['CFJ' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

After trying quite a few things, I figured out how to achieve the desired 
result via the API.  Posting what I found here in case it helps others with 
the question of "how to create a new DSA campaign restricted to ONLY using 
the supplied Asset Set of URLs".

1. Created the campaign with a *DynamicSearchAdsSetting*.  However within 
the setting, only supplied the *DomainName *property and the *LanguageCode 
*property.  
Completely omitted the *UseSuppliedUrlsOnly *property and the *Feeds *
property.

2. Either created a new AssetSet of PageFeed URLs or grabbed the 
ResourceName of an existing AssetSet.

3. Used CampaignAssetSetService to make the association between the new 
Campaign and the AssetSet.  (Note: at this point, if you check the 
interface you'll find that DynamicSearchAdsSetting.UseSuppliedUrlsOnly is 
set to FALSE which is the issue that needs overcome.)

4. Retrieve the DynamicSearchAdsSetting and change the UseSuppliedUrlsOnly 
from FALSE to TRUE.

5. Create a new CampaignOperation and set the Update to the newly altered 
DynamicSearchAdsSetting and then execute the operation.  (Note: Now the 
setting in the Google Ads interface will be updated to only use the 
supplied URLs.

*Note to API team.  This would be much more streamlined if we could set the 
UseSuppliedUrlsOnly property in "STEP 1" of my flow (and still leave the 
Feeds property blank) without receiving an error.*

Re: DSA with page-feed assets and supplied URLs only via API

['CFJ' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

Hi Jinky,

Everything in the instructions 
you
 
provided made complete sense EXCEPT for how to set the campaign to utilize 
ONLY the page-feed-asset-set.  Following the instructions at that link, I 
did the following via the API:

1. Created a new campaign.  
2. Created a new page feed asset set and populated it with URLs.
3. Made the association between the new Campaign and the new Asset Set

One that is done, I navigate to the Google Ads web interface and find that 
the Page Asset Set has been correctly connected to the campaign, BUT the 
campaign is set for "Use all URLs Google knows about the website (including 
any page feeds"

So what is the missing STEP 4 to change the setting via the API from "Use 
all URLs Google knows..." to "Use only URLs from page feeds" when the "page 
feeds" are an Asset Set per step 2 and 3 above?

Thanks

Re: Missing Assets

['CFJ' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

If you're not able to query your own backend data using the object IDs I've 
provided, then I'm unfortunately stuck here.  It's not possible to go back 
in time and grab request/response IDs where logging was not set to capture 
them at the time.  Please let me know if you're able to query your database 
to find the IDs I've provided.

Re: Missing Assets

['CFJ' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

Unfortunately, request/response logging was not enabled yesterday, so I 
cannot go back and get the API logs.  However, I can provide the 
screenshots from the UI (see below), and can easily provide all 330 Asset 
IDs (see attached .TXT file).  

In the UI, this is our Page Feed.  This used to be an Extension Feed, but 
Google auto-migrated it to Assets.  The ID of that "DSA Page URLs" object 
is 6468345444.  The Asset IDs for the 330 PageFeed Assets I uploaded are 
attached.

Missing Assets

['CFJ' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum]

Recently, our Dynamic Search Ads URL Feed was automatically changed into an 
Asset set.  I wrote new code to continue adding new URLs to this Asset 
set.  

Yesterday, I successfully uploaded 330 new URLs to this Asset set (Customer 
ID = 4981412357, Asset Set ID = 6468345444).  The API gave me back asset 
IDs for these new URL Assets 
(e.g. 51162588087, 51162815763, 51124295407, 51129328859).  However, I have 
no idea where they went?  

These new Assets are NOT in the Asset set when I look in the Google Ads 
Interface.  I also ran a SearchStream of asset_set_asset to pull back all 
Assets in the account, and none of these new IDs were returned.  

So where did my new assets go?  The API gave me IDs and no errors, so they 
must exist somewhere.

Re: why am I getting "Method not found: Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ClientHelper..ctor(Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ServiceSettingsBase)'."

[CFJ]

I've been successfully running on .NET client library for well over a 
month.  I have 11.0.1 installed.  

Yesterday, I clicked on the available Updates in NuGet package manager and 
saw that 12.0.0 is now available as well as some updates to Google.Api.Gax 
and several other Google.Api packages.  I ran the updates and fixed a 
single reference where "using Google.Ads.GoogleAds.Util" had to be changed 
to "using Google.Ads.Gax.Util" in order for my code to compile.  Once I did 
this and ran my code, I immediately got the same "Method not found: 
Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ClientHelper..ctor(Google.Api.Gax.Grpc.ServiceSettingsBase)'."
 
runtime error you reported here when simply trying to grab a 
GoogleAdsClient.  

I didn't have time to trace through things, so I rolled back the changes 
until I can find time to look at it again.  However, it feels like 
something in the client library must still be looking for "Util" within 
Google.Ads.GoogleAds rather than its new home of Google.Ads.Gax.

Re: Request is 'sometimes' missing OAUTH2 token

[CFJ]

I've been seeing this as well over the last 24-36 hours.  We've been on the 
Ads API v10 using the .NET client library for several weeks with zero 
authentication issues.  Yesterday, we began seeing a few of these "Request 
is missing required authentication credential" errors.  99.9% of our 
requests are going through just fine, so this feels like a random bug on 
Google's end.

Re: 'Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web

[CFJ]

I've started seeing this sporadically as well over the last 24-36 hours.  
I've been on the Ads API v10 for several weeks now with zero authentication 
issues.  This error just stated popping up yesterday randomly on a very 
tiny number of requests.

Enum Values do NOT match documentation

[CFJ]

I've run into this a few times with the Google Ads API.  According to the 
documentation, the enum values for the WebpageConditionOperand are 
"UNSPECIFIED", "UNKNOWN", "URL", "CATEGORY", "PAGE_TITLE" , "PAGE_CONTENT", 
and "CUSTOM_LABEL" in all caps with underscores exactly as they were in the 
AdWords API.

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v10/WebpageConditionOperandEnum.WebpageConditionOperand

However, when using those enum values, an error is thrown.  In 
investigating, I notice that drilling down through the enum in Visual 
Studio, the actual enum values are "Unspecified", "Unknown", "Url", 
"Category", "PageTitle", "PageContent", and "CustomLabel" with a mix of 
upper and lower case and with no underscores.  

I'm finding it really difficult to code for values where the documentation 
does not match the API.

Error modifying Location Targets

[CFJ]

I have a campaign with 9,907 Location Targets.  I need to update some of 
them, and replace some of them.  For example, let's say I have 991 where I 
need to UPDATE the bid modifier, 147 I need to REMOVE, and 147 new ones I 
need to ADD in place of those I removed.  

To accomplish this, I create a list of 147 REMOVE 
CampaignCriterionOperation objects and call MutateCampaignCriteria.  This 
completes successfully and my Campaign now has 9,760 Location targets.

Next, I construct a list of 147 CREATE CampaignCriterionOperation objects 
and again call MutateCampaignCriteria.  This one FAILS with the 54 
{{ "resourceCountLimitExceededError": "RESOURCE_LIMIT" }} errors.  The 
difference between 147 and 54 is 93 which is the space between the original 
number of Location Targets (i.e. 9907) and the maximum allowed for a 
campaign (i.e. 1).

If I issue the MutateCampaignCriteria again after the failure, again with 
the 147 operations, it succeeds fine.  I've attempted to have the thread 
sleep after issuing the REMOVE operations, but it doesn't appear to matter 
how long I wait.  It always fails the first time I issue the CREATE 
operations and succeeds the next time.  

It seems like the API is remembering the original campaign total on the 
first request rather than rechecking the total.

PolicyFindingError - "Phone number in ad text"

[CFJ]

I'm suddenly getting PolicyFindingErrors for ads with a policyTopicName of 
"Phone number in ad text".  The ads I'm submitting do NOT have phone 
numbers in the ad text.  

According to your documention, "This new type of error indicates that the 
ad will certainly fail review again even if an exemption is requested."
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/exemption-requests)

So how should I proceed in order to get these ads submitted and approved 
given that they do NOT contain the violation in question?

Re: API Logging not working

Just curious if you ever got SOAP logging working?  I followed the guide 
exactly as you did adding all the appropriate settings to my app.config, 
but no luck.  No log files get generated.

HTML Encoding violates character limits in ResponsiveSearchAds

[CFJ]

For many years, we have HTML Encoded the various text elements (e.g. 
headline, description) of ads.  It's been many years, so I don't recall 
which characters caused issues, but I do recall that the HTML Encoding 
allowed characters to be uploaded through the API that otherwise caused 
errors.  

Today, while uploading new ResponsiveSearchAds, I got a StringLengthError 
thrown for one of the TextAsset elements in the descriptions element of the 
ResponsiveSearchAd.  In investigating, my string was 93 characters long 
because the "" value was counted as 5 literal characters instead of 1 
character ("&").  I was able to remove the HTML encoding for the ampersand 
and upload the ad without error.  

Although I was able to successfully upload this specific ad, I'm worried 
that removing the HTML encoding may eventually throw an error on whatever 
character or characters I had added HTML encoding to fix.  For other ad 
types, HTML encoding is not literally counted toward the character limits.  
That in mind, I'm wondering if this is an oversight with respect to the 
back end validation of RSAs?  Thoughts from the API team?

Re: Multiple bid adjustments - How to Calculate?

[CFJ]

All bid adjustments are simply multiplication.  Based on the Commutative 
Property of Multiplication, order is irrelevant.  Performing the STATE then 
the DAY will give you the exact same result as performing the DAY then the 
STATE.

*Starting bid:* $1
*1. California adjustment:* $1 + ($1 x 20%) = $1.20
*2. Saturday adjustment:* $1.20 + ($1.20 x -50%) = $0.60
*Resulting bid for searches in California on Saturday:* $0.60


*Starting bid:* $1
*1. **Saturday **adjustment:* $1 + ($1 x  -50%) = $0.50
*2. **California **adjustment:* $0.50 + ($0.50 x 20%) = $0.60
*Resulting bid for searches in California on Saturday:* $0.60

In reality, the calculation you are doing is STARTING BID x SCALAR1 x 
SCALAR2

*$1 x (1+20%) x (1+-50%) = $1 x (1.2) x (0.5) = $0.60*

Re: How to get keywords from shopping campaign?

[CFJ]

You should be able to use the SEARCH_QUERY_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 

 to 
retrieve the user queries that actually triggered ads.  However, you cannot 
bid against those queries.  You can only add them as negatives to your 
AdGroups.

API will not allow upload of ads with "Blaze"

[CFJ]

When attempting to upload ads containing the word "blaze", we are getting 
back a response that "blaze" is an unapproved supplement and the 
"isExemptable" property is set to "false".

We are an Electronics Retailer, and "blaze" is part of the manufacturer 
product name for a new drone.  Call me naive, but I'm not familiar with the 
"unapproved supplement" by the same name.  Either way, the "isExemptable" 
field needs to allow us to resubmit an exemption request so a human being 
can process these ads.  Currently, the API is refusing to allow us to 
upload the ad at all which prevents asking for human approval.

Re: AdGroup Bid Modifiers for Audiences

[CFJ]

HI Anthony,

It makes sense that we can ADD a new BiddableAdGroupCriterion of type Age, 
Gender, CriterionUserList, etc using AdGroupCriterionService, but how do 
you change the Bid Modifier once they have been created? 

AdGroupBidModifierService will accept a BiddableAdGroupCriterion of type 
Platform, but it throws an error when attempting to pass a 
BiddableAdGroupCriterion of type Gender, Age or CriterionUserList.  

So we can CREATE and/or RETRIEVE BiddableAdGroupCriterion of all types 
using AdGroupCriterionService, but it appears we cannot then alter them 
going forward.

Re: AdGroup Bid Modifiers for Audiences

[CFJ]

And of course it never fails, figured it out not long after posting the 
question.  

BiddableAdGroupCriterion of type Platform use a SET operation in 
AdGroupBidModifierService to change the BidModifier.

BiddableAdGroupCriterion of type Gender, Age, and CriterionUserList use a 
SET operation in AdGroupCriterionService to change the BidModifier.  

Seems like a strange lack of consistency, but at least there is a way to 
accomplish the task at hand.

Re: AdGroup Bid Modifiers for Audiences

Along the same lines, how about setting bid modifiers for Genders and Ages?

API will not allow upload of ads with Preamp

When attempting to upload ads containing the word preamp (which we have 
done successfully in the past), we are getting back a response that 
preamp is an unapproved supplement and the isExemptable property is set

for the past few weeks. 

We are an Electronics Retailer, and a preamp is an electronic amplifier 
that prepares a small electrical signal for further amplification or 
processing.  I have never heard of any sort of unapproved supplement 
called a preamp.  Either way, the isExemptable field needs to allow us

Re: conversions in shopping performance report

[CFJ]

+1 for requesting Device as an available field in either the Shopping 
Performance Report or the Product Partition Report

 Also, I meant to mention that if it'd be possible to add Device to the 
 report (it's not in all the performance reports, but is in most of them), 
 that would be really helpful as well.

 Thanks,

 Hi,

 We are preparing to move all our client's PLA campaigns over to shopping 
 campaigns, as required by August, since PLA campaigns will be retired then. 
  One issue we're running into is that, unlike every other performance 
 report that we use in the API, the shopping performance report does not 
 contain the fields ConversionTypeName and ConversionCategoryName, which 
 allow segmenting by individual conversion types.  This is critical 
 information for us, because many [most?] of our clients have many different 
 conversion types, and the information on what kind(s) of conversion 
 happened is very important.  Could you please add these fields to the 
 report, in matching with the other performance reports, particularly as we 
 are all going to be required to upgrade to shopping campaigns very soon?

 Thanks much,
 Greg

Re: Is {device} value track parameter available for PLAs?

[CFJ]

Yes, you can add the {device} ValueTrack parameter (and many others) to the 
adwords_redirect URL in your merchant center feed and they WILL be 
populated.

I have successfully utilized all of the following ValueTrack parameters in 
a live Product Listing Ads account: {adwords_producttargetid}, {adtype}, 
{network}, {creative}, {device}, and {ifmobile:[value]}

Hope that helps.

Re: OAuth 2.0 error, while upgrading to newer version (i.e. v201306)

Re: API support for PLA management?

[CFJ]

API objects and calls have been available since v201109.  You can create 
PLAs (both promotion text and product targets), delete them, bid on them, 
and report on them.  
 
The AdGroupAdService has a ProductAd which allows you to create the 
promotional text line.
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/AdGroupAdService.ProductAd
 
 
The AdGroupCriterionService has the other pieces you'll need to create 
product targets (e.g. Product and/or ProductCondition)
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/AdGroupCriterionService.Product
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/latest/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductCondition

Re: external data

[CFJ]

Just a crazy thought, but keeping in mind that Campaign names are
completely arbitrary, and that that you do all of your API work based
on the ID value for each campaign, you could allow your account
managers to do this by customizing your campaign names.  So for
example, your campaign names could be something like:

Small Blue Widgets{foo}{foo2}{foo3}
Big Purple Widgets{foo}{foo3}
Circular Red Widgets{foo3}

When you retrieve your campaigns through the API, you match on ID,
parse out the custom stored foo parameters which you have delimited
using special characters such as { } from the campaign names and
store them referenced by the ID values.  Once you've parsed those
values, however many there may be, proceed with executing your bar
operations based on the various foo parameters that you just
parsed.

Again, just a thought for a work around if this is functionality that
you truly need.

 Hey there,

 The account managers in our company asked for something sort of interesting.
  I've looked for it, can't find it.  Maybe I've overlooked it.

 They are looking to set external arbitrary text attributes for campaigns via
 the Adwords UI.

 So for instance, a manager would mark so and so campaign as having an
 arbitrary attribute foo.
 And then when I synchronize the campaign I would see this attribute foo
 and proceed to do some sort of bar operation on it daily.

 (and of course they would be able to remove these arbitrary attributes.)

 Does this exist and I'm not seeing it?

Re: keyword performance report by CampaignId instead of AdGroupId - API

[CFJ]

In your report, just set the predicate field to CampaignId instead
of AdGroupId.  Here is a .net example for filtering a report on
campaign (using v201008).

Predicate yourPredicate = new Predicate();
yourPredicate.field = CampaignId;
yourPredicate.@operator = PredicateOperator.IN;
yourPredicate.values = new string[]{yourCampaignIdGoesHere};
Selector selector = new Selector();
selector.predicates = new Predicate[] { yourPredicate };

 Instead someone know if I can set the report by passing CampaignId so I dont

Re: Keyword Performance report now surrounding keyword text with brackets/double quotes - format changed during last few days

[CFJ]

I noticed this same issue starting on the 13th.  It crashed our
reporting systems as our code was not expecting the extra characters
within the keywordText field.  Even worse, when the exact same report
request is downloaded through the Adwords UI, the extra characters are
NOT present which made it difficult to track down what crashed during
report parsing.  Definitely hoping that the addition of these match
type characters within the keyword text is an error that will be
removed.  The reports already contain a match type field that can be
requested, so it seems redundant to also embed that information within
the keyword text.

Re: Reports Field Name Changes

Got to agree with Rob on this one.  Unannounced changes of field names
in a production system is pretty bad form.  My error logs had tens of
thousands of object reference not set to an instance of an object
errors last night due to the change in field name from keywordText
to keyword.  Should I be going back through my code to wrap every
reference to a report field with a check for existence?

Re: Abnormal latency after updating urls via api

[CFJ]

Hi,

I'm seeing this issue also.  Interestingly, if I run an API call to
update a batch of keyword destination URLs, the response indicates
that the call was successful.  Like others are stating, the updates
are showing up in the web interface up to 30 minutes or more later.
The interesting thing however, is that if I run a subsequent API call
to retrieve the same keywords that I just updated via a MUTATE, the
response contains the pre-updated destination URL values.  Doing
nothing further, but then running that same GET call 30 minutes later
results in the updated URLs being returned.

So it appears that the issue is not simply that the web interface and
API are out of sync.  The API is out of sync with itself as well.

Re: Getting AdID of product listing ad clicked for Google Merchant Center product

[CFJ]

Just chiming in with a second voice on the importance of this issue.
All of the various reports absolutely need to have destination URL
populated when reporting on PLAs.  Embedding tracking parameters
within landing page URLs is a pretty industry-standard method for
tying clicks to conversions.  Without destination URL in the
reporting, it's nearly impossible to analyze any granularity with
respect to PLAs (unless of course one chooses to implement this such
that each AdGroup contains a target for one, and only one, product).
