Internal (500) Error when requesting change data

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm trying to pull change data via the API and have been routinely 
encountering '500 Internal errors' for the past three weeks. This exact 
query has been running without issue for over 2 years. I've included the 
debug output for the request and response below. I realize there have been 
other similar issues logged and fixes were deployed, but they don't seem to 
have fully addressed the problem. Thanks.

Re: user_interest query returns "internal error occurred" response

I'm also receiving errors when I attempt to query changes within an account 
(change_event). The following errors are returned.

_InactiveRpcError: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:
status = StatusCode.INTERNAL
details = "Internal error encountered."
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer 
ipv4:172.217.5.10:443 {created_time:"2024-02-15T16:18:12.974592+00:00",

InternalServerError: 500 Internal error encountered. [type_url: 
"type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v15.errors.GoogleAdsFailure"
value: "\022\026jTPv8AnklDhWUYp5nYkQxA"

Given the number of incidents reported over the past couple of days it 
feels like there's something wrong on the server side. Please let us know 
when you get this sorted out. Thanks.

Re: Missing Ad Group Labels

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Was this issue ever resolved? I'm encountering the same thing in that I can 
see the ad group labels in the UI but they're not being retrieved when I 
request them via the API. Thanks.

Re: Duplicate An Ad Group

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Thanks for your response. I do know how to pull the information I'm looking 
for in terms of existing ad group criteria. My question pertains to how 
these criteria can be assigned to a new ad group. Specifically, rather than 
having to recreate all of the existing criteria under the new ad group 
using 'create' operations within the AdGroupCriterionService, is there a 
more direct way to link/copy these criteria to new ad group? Thanks.

Duplicate An Ad Group

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm attempting to programmatically duplicate ad groups using Python and the 
Ads APIs. I understand there is no copy/paste functionality similar to 
what's available via the UI, so I'm thinking I'll have to rely on 
resource-specific mutate services to generate ad groups and ads. However, 
with regards to ad group criteria, I'm wondering if there's a way to easily 
assign existing criteria (e.g, keywords, age range, user interest, user 
list) to the new ad group. I'd prefer not to have to regenerate every 
single criterion on a group-by-group basis.

Authorization error when adding keyword via MutateAdGroup

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm attempting to add a negative keyword to a specific ad group but am 
receiving an authorization error ("The user does not have permission to 
perform this action on the resource or call a method."). I'm able to add 
keywords via Google Ads (ads.google.com). I'm also able to successfully 
retrieve information for this same account via API's, so the read 
functionality seems OK. I'm not sure if I need to regenerate credentials 
now that I'm doing updates or if there's something else going on. Any 
guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the code I'm using to perform the update.

ad_group_service = client.get_service('AdGroupService', version='v9')
ad_group_criterion_service = 
client.get_service('AdGroupCriterionService', version='v9')

ad_group_criterion_operation = 
client.get_type("AdGroupCriterionOperation")
ad_group_criterion = ad_group_criterion_operation.create

ad_group_criterion.ad_group = ad_group_service.ad_group_path(cid, 
adgroupid)
ad_group_criterion.status = 
client.enums.AdGroupCriterionStatusEnum.ENABLED
ad_group_criterion.keyword.text = keyword
ad_group_criterion.keyword.match_type = 
(client.enums.KeywordMatchTypeEnum.EXACT)
ad_group_criterion.negative = True

response = 
ad_group_criterion_service.mutate_ad_group_criteria(customer_id=cid, 
operations=[ad_group_criterion_operation])

Here's a portion of the traceback showing the error.

Re: Keyword and Search Term View Yield Different Metrics

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Hey Mat,

I think you nailed it. If I pull data at the ad group level I can get the 
metrics to match what was retrieved by keyword. However, when search term 
is included in the query the numbers are significantly reduced. Thanks.

Keyword and Search Term View Yield Different Metrics

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Hi All,

I'm using the Ads API to pull performance data (e.g., impressions, clicks, 
cost, etc.). When I retrieve the data using the keyword_view the 
impressions and cost metrics in particular are greater than what is 
returned using the search_term_view for the same time period. I've included 
the query language and a portion of the data in the samples below. Any 
insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

Change Event Resource Type

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm using Python to run a report in Google Ads that pulls change events for 
the past 28 days. The versions of software installed and the query are 
shown below:

   - google-ads:  13.0.0
   - google-api_core: 1.31.2
   - google-api-python-client: 2.18.0

query = '''
SELECT
  change_event.change_date_time,
  change_event.change_resource_name,
  change_event.change_resource_type,
  change_event.resource_change_operation,
  change_event.user_email,
  change_event.changed_fields,
  campaign.name
FROM change_event
WHERE
  change_event.change_date_time BETWEEN "{:s}" AND "{:s}"
LIMIT 1200'''.format(start, end)

resp = list(gas.search(customer_id=cid, query=query))

The reporting service is instantiated as follows: gas = 
client.get_service('GoogleAdsService', version='v8').

The issue I'm encountering is with the values returned for 
change_resource_type. Specifically, in most cases the data type of the 
value is "". However, in some cases it's 
returning an "int". It appears that this is happening when the resource 
type is a value that was introduced in version 8. Here are two instances 
showing one enum and one integer.

for i in range(77, 79):
print(resp[i], type(resp[i].change_event.change_resource_type))

change_event {
  resource_name: REDACTED
  change_date_time: "2021-08-10 14:53:41.951903"
  change_resource_type: *AD*
  change_resource_name: REDACTED
  user_email: REDACTED
  resource_change_operation: UPDATE
  changed_fields {
paths: "added_by_google_ads"
paths: "final_url_suffix"
  }
}
* *

change_event {
  resource_name: REDACTED
  change_date_time: "2021-08-10 14:54:43.407839"
  change_resource_type: *14*
  change_resource_name: REDACTED
  user_email: REDACTED
  resource_change_operation: CREATE
  changed_fields {
paths: "id"
paths: "name"
paths: "resource_name"
  }
}
* *

Not sure if I'm missing an update somewhere or if something else is going 
on. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Account Access Issues With New MCC

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I have a set of applications that use both AdWords and Ads APIs for 
reporting. All of reporting to date has been for a set of accounts managed 
under a single MCC. I was recently given access to another MCC and was 
attempting to run the same applications against the accounts associated 
with this new MCC but received a USER PERMISSION DENIED authorization 
error. Do I need to regenerate credentials or is there some way I can used 
my existing credentials to gain access? Thanks.

Retrieving changed_fields causes 500 Internal Error

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm trying to retrieve changed_fields from the change_event resource 
(something I've done on several occasions before) and consistently 
encounter an InternalServerError. I can pull other fields from this 
resource, but specifying changed_fields appears to trigger the error. The 
query and output are shown below. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Recommendation Type Enum Doesn't Match Results

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Thank you. After looking at the links you sent and digging into it a bit 
more, it appears to be a version problem. I downloaded the most current 
edition of google-ads (which I should have done straight away), at that has 
resolved the issue.

Recommendation Type Enum Doesn't Match Results

[Scott Vaillancourt]

It looks like a new recommendation type has been added but not yet 
reflected in the Enum. Specifically, the value 18 (RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD?) 
is being returned from a query but isn't part of the Enum. However, it does 
appear in the documentation 
(https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v6/RecommendationTypeEnum.RecommendationType).
 

I've pasted in some code/results below that illustrate the issue. Thanks.

Re: API Recommendations Don't Match Ads Console

[Scott Vaillancourt]

The console I'm referring to is the account-specific Overview page at 
ads.google.com, not the reporting UI. Specifically, the recommendations 
cards don't match what I'm able to retrieve via the API.

API Recommendations Don't Match Ads Console

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm using the GoogleAdsService API to pull recommendations. However, the 
returned data doesn't match what I see when I look at the Recommendations 
screen in the Google Ads console. There are far fewer recommendations 
returned via the API. The code below yields 5 records, which 
is significantly less than I can access via the console. I'm happy to 
provide customer information via a private channel. Thanks.

Scott

gas = client.get_service('GoogleAdsService', version='v6')
rte = client.get_type('RecommendationTypeEnum', version='v6')

query = '''
SELECT
  recommendation.type,
  recommendation.campaign
FROM recommendation'''

resp = gas.search(cid, query)
rl = list(resp)
for r in rl:
 print(rte.RecommendationType.Name(r.recommendation.type))

Different campaign report results when using location

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm trying to produce a report using the Google Ads API that includes 
totals for impressions, clicks and cost at the campaign/metro area level. I 
understand that if geographic information isn't available then data won't 
be returned from the geographic_view. In order to get all data for a 
campaign, I'm retrieving campaign-level data and comparing that to totals 
at the metro area level. I would expect that the campaign level data would 
always be greater than or equal to the geographic data since geographic 
data may sometimes be missing. However, what I've found is a case where 
totals for geographic-level data are greater than what the campaign is 
showing.


I'm trying to understand why the two results would differ in this manner 
and which one is accurate. Thanks.

Scott

Re: geographic_view doesn't return data when segments.geo_target_metro is empty

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I have this question as well. When I pull a report using the AdWords API 
for a campaign, all of the data returned includes occurrences where no 
metro area is attached. However, when I use the geographic_view in the new 
Ads API, no data is returned if the metro area is blank, causing the 
metrics to be underreported. If I use the campaign view then all of the 
metrics are accurate.

Re: Resource Exhausted Using get_geo_target_constant

[Scott Vaillancourt]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the info. I don't have adequate permissions to reply to author, 
so I'll send you what I can via this post. Shown below is the code I'm 
using to execute the request. The error message I get back is '429 Resource 
has been exhausted (e.g., check quota)'. I'm pretty certain the limit 
that's being exceeded is because of the call to get_geo_target_constant. If 
I run the code without this it works fine. I think what I'm trying to 
figure out is how to resolve resource names without a 'get' call. This 
applies to other items such as campaign_budget. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Scott

Resource Exhausted Using get_geo_target_constant

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I running a report using the search_stream method within GoogleAdsService. 
One of the fields I'm pulling back is geo_target_metro, which returns 
resource name such as 'geoTargetConstants/200819'. I'm trying to get the 
name associated with each location. However, when I use 
get_geo_target_constant(Resource Name).name, I get an error saying I've 
exhausted my resources, which I assume are the 1000 gets. (Note: I can run 
the exact same code without calling get_geo_target_constant and not have 
any problems. How can I get the name associated with geo_target_metro 
without running out of resources? Thanks.

Campaign Report With Location (geo_target_metro)

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm using the search method of the GoogleAdsService to create a 
campaign-level report. I'd like to use the campaign view since this has the 
fields I'm looking for (e.g., impressions, cost, clicks). However, I also 
want this information broken out by metro area for each campaign, but I'm 
unable to apply this segment when I specify 'campaign' in the FROM clause. 
Is there a way to work around this? Thanks.

We're currently using the Ad Preview and Diagnosis tool to understand where

Negative Keyword List

[Scott Vaillancourt]

I'm trying to get a negative keyword list via the Campaign Negative 
Keywords Performance Report API in Python. However, I'm not able to get the 
actual keyword for which I'm retrieving information (e.g., match type). It 
looks as though I might be able to get the keyword via the  
NegativeCampaignCriterion 

 object, 
but I've not been able to make that work. How can I access the attributes 
within this object when I'm creating the report? Thanks.
