ReportDefinitionService problem

[Nesha]

Hi,

I have problem with communication with ReportDefinitionService

I want to read and parse report using this:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/ReportDefinitionService.html

I've tried to use this php code:

header("Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=VALID_TOKEN");
header("clientCustomerId: ID");
header("clientEmail: em...@gmail.com");
echo file_get_contents("https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/
reportdownload?__rd=748887");

and I get this:
!!!AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID|||748887


I've also tried this one with CURL:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => 'https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/
reportdownload?__rd=748887',
));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
  'Authorization: auth=VALID_TOKEN',
  'clientCustomerId: ID',
  'clientEmail: em...@gmail.com'
));

and receive the same error.

What is the problem with this requests? Do I need to use SOAP? Can you
give me some example how to make request from php and read report from
adwords api?

I'm desperate.
Thanks a lot.

DownloadReport API Cost

[Nesha]

Hi,

I can't find how much will cost me to download keywords reports for
yesterday.

I've found this:

ReportDefinitionService
get 1 per ReportDefinition
getReportFields 1 per ReportDefinitionField
mutate (ADD)400 per ReportDefinition
mutate (REMOVE) 1 per ReportDefinition
mutate (SET)400 per ReportDefinition


but I am not sure, is that cost for whole report, or just one line.
I plan to use csv format, and my reports can have a thousands of rows,
how will this be affected by cost?

Can someone explain this to me.
Thanks

Re: DownloadReport API Cost

[Nesha]

Great, thank you very much

One more question regarding download report.

I've used DownloadReport.php example, and I am able to download report
for id that i received after creating new report using
AddKeywordsPerformanceReportDefinition.php

And there is this required code:
// Create ad group predicate.
  $adGroupPredicate = new Predicate();
  $adGroupPredicate->field = 'AdGroupId';
  $adGroupPredicate->operator = 'EQUALS';
  $adGroupPredicate->values = array($adGroupId);

Can I get all keywords for all campaigns in one reports, instead of
creating report for each ad group?

Unable to get Adgroup "Mobile Bid Adjustment" using Adwords API

[Nesha]

We are using 3 different tools to get Adwords data: 
- AdWords Editor
- AdWords Web Site
- AdWords API (PHP version)

And there is an issue to get "Mobile Bid Adjustment" using API or Web Site.

In AdWords Editor here is sample adgroup with value -100%




Now with Adwords API I am trying to fetch that info using 
AdGroupBidModifierService with latest available API (v201406)
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/adgroup-bid-modifiers

Here is API response for adgroup with "Mobile Bid Adjustment" = -100%

AdGroupBidModifier Object
(
[campaignId] => 35768944
[adGroupId] => 977693464
[criterion] => Platform Object
(
[platformName] => 
[id] => 3
[type] => PLATFORM
[CriterionType] => Platform
[_parameterMap:Criterion:private] => Array
(
[Criterion.Type] => CriterionType
)

)

[bidModifier] => 
[bidModifierSource] => 
)

As you can see, there is no -100% value for bidModifier that I have in 
AdWords Editor.
How i can get this adgroup "Mobile Bid Adjustment" value using API ?
I am not sure is this available via API at the moment.

Thanks,
Nenad Milosavljevic

Re: Unable to get Adgroup "Mobile Bid Adjustment" using Adwords API

[Nesha]

Danial,

with your help i have resolved this issue.

When i looked better in response XML i found that each adgroup have 3 
entries, and i was looking just for HighEndMobile (ID = 3001)


  35768944
  977693464
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="Platform">
3
PLATFORM
Platform
  


  35768944
  977693464
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="Platform">
30001
PLATFORM
Platform
  
  0.0


  35768944
  977693464
  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="Platform">
30002
PLATFORM
Platform
   



So i have returned 0.0 and in AdWords Editor that is -100%
I have used this formula to translate API values to those from AdWords 
Editor

$value = - (1 - round($modifier->bidModifier, 2)) * 100;

// possible values for bid modifier (adwords editor = API value)
-10% = 0.9
-90% = 0.1
-100% = 0
100% = 2
200% = 3
300% = 4 

Basically i think that this issue happened because in official PHP AdWords 
API located here:
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201406/AdvancedOperations/GetAdGroupBidModifiers.php

There is bad condition 

$value = 'none';
if (!empty($modifier->bidModifier)) {
   $value = $modifier->bidModifier;
}
There shoud be used is_numeric instead of !empty, since 0.0 looks like empty, 
but it's actually -100%, and that should be treated as well. Small issue but it 
took me in wrong direction.

Hopefully now everything should be ok.

Thanks again for your help.

Keyword max. cpc vs default ad group cpc in report

[Nesha]

Hi, i have a question how to recognize does keyword have custom
entered max. cpc or keyword use max. cpc from an ad group.

For example:
Ad group have default max.cpc = $ 0.30
and I have keyword where someone entered $ 0.30 as custom CPC.

I want to know in report that souch keyword have custom cpc, not from
ad group.
The idea is to do this
"If an individual keyword has same bid OR bid is within 5 cents below
of adgroup bid then delete the keyword bid so it uses the adgroup bid
to make management easier."

Re: Keyword max. cpc vs default ad group cpc in report

[Nesha]

For more details check this url http://cl.ly/1d2o1C2D2n1N1D3m2V1H
you can see two kw Max. CPC one with default 0.65, and other one with
0.65 from ad group.
I need some param in keyword report that will tell me that keyword
have custom cpc (even if it's equal to ad group cpc)
I've used reports from here: 
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/reports.html#keywords

Re: ReportDefinitionService - Monthly report get

[Nesha]

If you have used hard coded numbers like this:
//$selector->dateRange = new DateRange('20110725', '20110925');
you will always get data for that date range.
But if you have used something like this:
$reportDefinition->dateRangeType = 'YESTERDAY'; then you will always
get data for yesterday from date when you run cron.

Hope this will help you, if not someone with more skills from Google
team can provide more help.

Re: Keyword max. cpc vs default ad group cpc in report

[Nesha]

Maybe i need to use: CpcBidSource (Max CPC source),
Description:
Predicate values / display values:
CRITERION / ad group criteria
ADGROUP / ad groups

I am not sure.

Search term report, missing data for yesterday

[Nesha]

Hi, i am trying to use ReportDefinition service, version v201101, and
i have problem to get data for YESTERDAY.

I also can't see search term data for yesterday on google adwords
site. But if I select some date in the past that is not yesterday i
have data.


Problem is because i use LAST_7_DAYS to get data once per week. But i
noticed that yesterday from date when i take data is missing, and
that's why numbers is wrong.


So is there some way to get LAST_7_DAYS btu with YESTERDAY data?
How this work now is wrong, bc it does not return LAST_7_DAYS, it
return LAST_7_DAYS - YESTERDAY data.

Re: Search term report, missing data for yesterday

[Nesha]

I am trying to avoid custom date range, because on that way i always
must create new definition report, and that cost :)

I created temp solution, i will always take last 14 days data, and
cron will be executed on every 7 days, but i will prevent duplicates,
and on that way i will fill one missing day 8 days ago.

Thanks for sharing your methods.
