Re: Clone a campaign using only API

2017-05-08 Thread Emanuele Bragagnolo

At the moment I am doing a research to understand if copying a campaign is 
doable using only API: In my use case I want to clone a campaign changing 
only few parameters and compare the performance to the original one.

I am pretty new to AdWords system, but my idea is that copying a campaign 
is a normal operation: this is confirmed by the fact that this 
functionality is implemented in the console UI. I am only surprised that 
this functionality is not straightforward to implement using only API

BTW I think that I have all the informations I need. Thx to everyone

Emanuele

Re: Clone a campaign using only API

2017-04-25 Thread Emanuele Bragagnolo

Hi Sreelakshmi

Ok, I understand that the campaign can contain different objects. The point 
is that such objects are not returned in the CampaignService.get(). To 
figure out which objects are contained inside a campaign I need to query 
for example the AdGroupService, CampaignCriterionService, AdGroupAdService 
filtering in the predicate for the campaignId as you suggested in the 
previous mail.

Now to know which services to query I need a complete list of all the 
different kinds of objects that can be contained in a campaign. Otherwise 
my "cloned" campaigns will have less objects than expected and will not be 
a full copy of the original

Best regards, Emanuele

Re: Clone a campaign using only API

Hi Sreelakshmi

Thank you for your quick reply

I have a question about this point

And the process will have to be repeated for all the nested objects within 
> the campaign and the adgroup. 


Those nested objects are only adgroups and criterion?

If no, can you give me a list of all the nested objects that are contained 
in a campaign and need to be copied when cloning a campaign?

Thank in advance, Emanuele

PS I think there are some trouble with google groups: this is the second 
time I create this reply

Clone a campaign using only API

2017-04-24 Thread Emanuele Bragagnolo

Hi

I am implementing a feature to clone a whole AdWords campaign using only 
the API. Basically I want the same behavior of the CTRL+C and CTRL+V that 
is available in the AdWords UI

with a deep copy of the campaign and of all the AdGroups contained in it.

I've found this old thread 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/rErEluYfpAQ, but it's 
not indicated a clear solution for this use case

My approach is to get a campaign using the CampaignService.get and then 
create a new campaign using the response as template and modifying only few 
fields

Because I want to clone the whole campaign the response should contain all 
the data: where can I find a complete list of fields to include in the 
selector of the request?

I am using this documentation 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/CampaignService
 


but it's is not straightforward to include the fields for the nested objects

For the moment I have some problems because I cannot get the AdGroups list 
in the response

Best regards, Emanuele

Copy or clone a Campaign using API

2017-04-24 Thread Emanuele Bragagnolo

Hi!

I am trying to implement a functionality to clone an AdWords campaign using 
the API. Basically I want the same behavior of the CTRL+C and CTRL+V that 
is available in the AdWords UI with a deep copy of the campaign and of all 
the AdGroups contained in it.

The approach I am trying to use is to get all the campaigns data with 
CampaignService GET and then create a new campaign changing only some 
fields. 

I've found this old thread 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/rErEluYfpAQ , but It's 
not indicated a clear solution for this use case.

Because I want to clone all the campaign the response should contain all 
fields: where can I find the list of such fields?

for the moment I am checking this documentation 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201702/CampaignService
 

At the moment I'm having some problems to include the AdGroups list inside 
the response
