Re: Google Product Taxonomy vs Product Bidding Category
Thanks for looking into this. For examples, we already see that the Merchant Center Category Animals Pet Supplies is different from the Product Bidding Category Animals. In merchant center, there is a Live Animals category on the second level where Product bidding category does not have this sub-category. Pet supplies is found on the second level in the Product Bidding Category, and in the merchant center side, this is sub-category is part of the top level category. So it isn't just naming that is different, in some cases, they can be organized completely differently as well. Another difference is the Merchant center categories can go down 7 levels deep where as the product bidding category only goes down 5 levels. We were going through both taxonomies on Thrusday and Friday and found numerous small naming differences. One easy example is that Merchant center calls it Soda and Product Bidding Category calls it Pop (did someone from the mid-west make the product bidding categories?). For feed upload, these differences don't make a difference since you guys seem to be resolving from one taxonomy to the other. But if we start migrating some of our clients to API upload, don't we have to start using ProductBiddingCategory? If we have a mapping from one to the other, it'd save us a lot of time and worry maintaining the mappings in case either side changes.

Shopping Campaign Product Partition report and outdated product bidding category IDs.
Hello, I've been running some product partition reports for a client that was part of the Shopping Campaign beta. The thing is, some of the partitions have product bidding categories with IDs that are not returned from the ConstantDataService so I can't see the display value for the categories anymore. Does this mean that, if the product bidding categories change or are migrated, reports for older date ranges will lose data? -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.

Re: Access Level for API
Takeshi, That is very weird. Through my own testing, I achieved read-only access. I basically linked my email account to my companies Adwords account and tried some api operations. With my account set to Standard access, I was able to use the API to pull ads from a test campaign and then pause some to of the ads. When I set my account to read-only access, I could still use the API to get the ads from the test campaign, but when I tried to use the api to pause the ads, I would get a forbidden error code. The change in user access took a few minutes to propagate, but once it changed, I could consistently perform get operations but not mutate operations. Wondering if someone over there changed something in the infrastructure without updating the API team? -Jonathan On Monday, November 11, 2013 9:09:55 PM UTC-8, Takeshi Hagikura (AdWords API Team) wrote: Hi Jonathan, Apologies for the delayed response.

AdWords API follows whatever permissions you set on your AdWords account. So if you link your AdWords account under an MCC, then the MCC will have access to the client account. The level of access depends on the access you have given that login email on the UI. If it is readonly, you can run only reports. If you provide standard access, you can mutate objects as well.

Re: API responds with 403 on one machine and not on others
Nope. We actually have access to numerous client accounts. This particular account is the only one with an issue on that machine. I at first thought that the account wasn't fully authorized for API access, but then I tried it in my local dev environment and it worked.

API responds with 403 on one machine and not on others
Hello, We have an account (327-036-4904) where we get a 403 response when generating a client login token on one machine, but not on another. Is there any reason for this happening? here is the root cause in the Java stacktrace: Caused by: com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.clientlogin.ClientLoginResponseException: 403 Forbidden com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.clientlogin.ClientLogin$ErrorInfo@71b9dd at com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.clientlogin.ClientLogin.authenticate(ClientLogin.java:190) at com.google.api.ads.common.lib.auth.ClientLogin.requestToken(ClientLogin.java:119) at com.google.api.ads.common.lib.auth.ClientLoginTokens.requestToken(ClientLoginTokens.java:390) at com.datapop.api.adwords.AdwordsClient.generateClientLoginToken(AdwordsClient.java:80) -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.

Adwords API required SSL certificates keep changing
We have a special case where an internal web app grabs campaign names and ids using Google Adwords API, but also must connect to our internal SSO server. Since the SSO server has a self-signed certificate, we need to use a custom truststore. This breaks SSL verification for Google. To fix this, we add the adwords.google.com SSL certificate and www.google.com SSL certificate (one or the other wouldn't work, had to use both) to our custom truststore. The issue we're seeing is that the www.google.com SSL certificate has been updated at least 3 times in the last month, causing us to have to install new certificates into our custom trust store. Our question is, why are the certificates changing so frequently? We've observed this in our production and testing environment. Today, it happened in the middle of a series of calls where the first few API calls work, and then suddenly we get sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target. I had to grab a new certificate for www.google.com to fix it. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.

Re: BudgetService returning InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR in the SANDBOX
Even though its deprecated, it should at least work until Dec 15th, no? We have already applied for a test account but in the meantime need a way to test new features we're building.
