New enums

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

You have changed some enums, e.g.

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CampaignService.CampaignStatus

to 

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CampaignService.CampaignStatus

Please put this in the migration guide. Also, please add new enums to the 
end of the list.

Re: Changing budget name on deletion

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Sure, that works. It is a bit chatty though. I thought it possibly to 
change multiple parameters in one request to the server, and when I try to 
change both name and status (to deleted) I do not recieve any errors. It 
fails silently.

Changing budget name on deletion

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Due to constraint that names of budgets must be uniq I am trying change the 
budget name as a budget is deleted. I C# using the client library I use the 
following code

string now = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
budget.name = String.Format("{0} (deleted {1})", budget.name, now);
budget.status = BudgetBudgetStatus.DELETED;
var operations = new List();
operations.Add(new BudgetOperation {operand = budget, @operator = 
Operator.REMOVE});
var service = (BudgetService) 
_user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201402.BudgetService);
operations.ForEach(part => service.mutate(part));

In the above code, budget is earlier retrieved from the API and hence 
holding the budget id.

Running the code, the budget is deleted, but the budget name is not changed.

What am I doing wrong?

Any plans for a JavaScript library?

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Hi there,

do you have any plans for a JavaScript library?

With all the Node.js going on, I believe we are a lot wanting a JavaScript 
library for the Google AdWords API.

Re: AWQL -- query only Records with Impressions, Clicks, or Conversions > 0

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

You can see the formal grammar here 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/awql under Formal 
Grammar. There is no support for OR i AWQL.

A solution could be to use node-gawr to 
fetch the data and then filter with grep (on Linux/Mac OS X) or 
String-Select (on Windows (PowerShell)).

Re: Commandline reporting tool

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Thank you for your interest. I have added the possibility to use a 
--customerId flag to specify a client customer id other than the one in 
config. Good idea. Thanks. I have also corrected a few bugs.

The OAuth 2.0 part is however rather hard on me. Gawr is now using OAuth 
2.0 in a preliminary way. The users obtain an access token via 
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground and the program will work for 
an hour. Obviously, the refresh token should be used.

My answer is why are you taking about 
https://cloud.google.com/console#/project, clientId and clientSecret. What 
am I missing?

I would be glad to hear anything from your or your colleague.

Budget.associatedCampaigns in v201306

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

In the API v201302 the Budget object had a field called associatedCampaigns 
(
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201302/BudgetService.Budget).
 
This field seems to be missing in v201306 (
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201306/BudgetService.Budget
).

Using v201306. do I really have to loop though all the campaigns to see 
which campaigns uses a given budget?

Retrieving id’s of Ad Groups upon committing

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Hi there.

I was wandering how you upon creation of Ad Group match the AdGroup 
elements from the return value to the AdGroup elements already in memory.

I need the id’s to properly commit Ads and Keywords. Right now I am working 
under the assumption that the return values come in the same order as in 
the array I sent to Google AdWords.

Specifically, I do this

AdGroupReturnValue retVal = adGroupService.mutate(operations);

foreach (AdGroup adGroup in retVal.value)

{

groups.ElementAt(i).id = adGroup.id;

i++;

}

I thought some of you might have a better or prettier solution.

Have a nice Friday.

(Not that it is important, but I use C# and the official AdWords library 
for .Net.)

Changing URL for ads of type image ad

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

I have been changing the distinations URL of my AdWords ads using a little 
program I wrote in C#. However, then I hit ads of type image ad with 
images, the program throws an exception. Appearently I need to set 
operand.ad.image.mediaId. My program changes the URL by retrieving the ads 
in question, changing the URL, deleting them on the AdWords server and 
finally adding them again (with the new URL). For text ads it works 
perfectly.

I have read somethere that if I only retrieve field from the generic ad 
type (Ad) the program would execute without errors. I select only Id and 
Url via AWQL, so I though I was in the clear. To get the ads I use an 
AdGroupAdService to make an AdGroupAdPage. I really like to have an unified 
solution that can work for any type of ad, however, a solution just working 
for image ads is also welcome.

Have a nice day.


Some source code (C#). I appreciate any kind of suggestions or comments.


public void Remake(string campaignName, int campaignElementId, int 
contentId)
{
long campaignId = GetCampaignId(campaignName);
List groupIds = GetAdGroupIds(campaignId);
StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder("SELECT Id, Url WHERE 
AdGroupId IN [ ");
bool isFirst = true;
foreach (long groupId in groupIds)
{
if (!isFirst) query.Append(", ");
query.Append(groupId);
isFirst = false;
}
query.Append(" ]");
AdGroupAdService service = 
(AdGroupAdService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201209.AdGroupAdService);
AdGroupAdPage page = service.query(query.ToString());
List ads = new List();
foreach (AdGroupAd ad in page.entries)
{
ad.ad.url = NewUrl(ad, campaignElementId, contentId);
ads.Add(ad);
}
UpdateAds(ads);
}




private void UpdateAds(List ads)
{
AdGroupAdService service = 
(AdGroupAdService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201209.AdGroupAdService);
List removing = new 
List();
foreach (AdGroupAd ad in ads)
{
AdGroupAdOperation operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
operation.@operator = Operator.REMOVE;
operation.operand = ad;
removing.Add(operation);
}
List adding = new 
List();
foreach (AdGroupAd ad in ads)
{
AdGroupAdOperation operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
operation.@operator = Operator.ADD;
operation.operand = ad;
adding.Add(operation);
}
AdGroupAdReturnValue retValRemoving = 
service.mutate(removing.ToArray());
AdGroupAdReturnValue retValAdding = 
service.mutate(adding.ToArray());

}

Getting all ads in a campaign

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Hi

Is there a way to get all ads in a campaign in a single request? I can easy 
enough get all AdGroups, and then in new calls get all ads. However, in a 
situation there I e.g. want to add a parameter in all distinaitons URLs it 
would be very nice to get all ads in a campaign in only one request.

Have a nice day.

Keyword status (v201209, C# library)

[Rasmus Ladekjær Pedersen]

Hi.

It seems to me that the statuses in the web interface maps poorly to the 
API.

Especially I am hoping to get the statuses of my keywords. Do anyone know 
how I obtain this information?

Regards,
Rasmus Ladekjær
