GAQL - Ad assets disappear when a `segments` field is selected

[Zhe Lin]

Hi there,

I was using GAQL in SearchGoogleAdsStreamRequest, selecting from 
`ad_group_ad_asset_view`.

One issue was that, when the SELECTed fields and the WHERE clause contained 
a `segments` field , some ad assets disappear from the response.

Here are the queries I tried.

Query without segment fields which result in 1 row in the response
```
SELECT
ad_group_ad.ad.id,
asset.text_asset.text
   FROM ad_group_ad_asset_view
  WHERE ad_group_ad.ad.id = ""
AND asset.id = ""
```

Query with `segments.ad_network_type` which result in no row in the response
```
SELECT
ad_group_ad.ad.id,
asset.text_asset.text
, segments.ad_network_type
   FROM ad_group_ad_asset_view
  WHERE ad_group_ad.ad.id = ""
AND asset.id = ""
AND segments.ad_network_type = "SEARCH"
```

It only applied to specific ad asset. Please let me know how to properly 
include sensitive values like the IDs of the ad, ad asset, and the customer 
account to reproduce the issue.

Also, I was using Python. If necessary, I can share the Python code with 
you.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards,
Zhe

Re: How to download HTML5 ad assets

[Zhe Lin]

Hi there,

I have the same question.

Not about version upgrading, but about the asset.
So let 's say, in GoogleAds API v15,
if I have an asset resource name like 
"customers/(account_id)/assets/(asset_id)", how may I obtain the asset file 
(image or video) ?

Best regards,

Re: AdTypeEnum Values Documented in Google Ads API Not Appearing

[Zhe Lin]

Hi Matt,

On 3rd May you said "next week", wonder how is it now on 22th, June.
Would be great if let us know in which version of `googleads` that is fixed.

Here is my attempt. It doesn't seem `googleads==32.0.0` (newest up until 
now) has that.

```
$ pip install -U googleads
...
Successfully installed googleads-32.0.0

$ cat 
.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/google/ads/googleads/v10/enums/types/ad_type.py|grep
 
35

```

Besides that, I 'd question that, if it is a wise thing to use protobuf in 
the first place.
Back to the adwords API, everything was XML.
Which means, if you add a new type of ads, and give them in your response, 
in the client side,
we basically can figure out that and update our code rapidly.

However, with protobuf, it is not. Until you release a newer version of the 
`googleads` library
with the new ad structures, in the client side cannot even get the new ad 
in a normal way.

Here is a minimal example to explain that.
`pip install googleads==32.0.0` and create a <35 DISCOVERY_MULTI_ASSET_AD>
 in your AdWords account before run it.

```
def main(client, account_id, ad_id):
query = (
"SELECT"
" ad_group_ad.ad.discovery_multi_asset_ad.business_name"
" FROM ad_group_ad"
" WHERE ad_group_ad.ad.id = %s"
) % ad_id
print('Run query:', query)
customer_service = client.get_service("GoogleAdsService")
search_request = client.get_type("SearchGoogleAdsStreamRequest")
search_request.query = query
search_request.customer_id = account_id

stream = customer_service.search_stream(search_request)
for batch in stream:
for row in batch.results:
x = row.ad_group_ad.ad.discovery_multi_asset_ad
print(x)


if __name__ == '__main__':
main(
   GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict() ,
  ,
  
  )
```

You would suffer

```
  File ".." in main
x = row.ad_group_ad.ad.discovery_multi_asset_ad
  File ".", in __getattr__
raise AttributeError(str(ex))
AttributeError: 'discovery_multi_asset_ad'
```

Wonder if I 'm doing wrong, and appreciate any hint to fix that.

Best regards,
Zhe

Re: Replacement for the removed `XxxConstantService`s when upgrading from v9 to v10 ?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply!
I replaced all those service names with `GoogleAdsService` in my code and 
it works fine now.

Replacement for the removed `XxxConstantService`s when upgrading from v9 to v10 ?

[Zhe Lin]

Good day, Google Ads API team

I 'm trying to upgrade from Google Ads API v9 to v10. I can see the 
following services are removed.

Services I'm using but missing in v10:
OperatingSystemVersionConstantService
MobileDeviceConstantService
MobileAppCategoryConstantService
UserInterestService
LanguageConstantService

However, I didn't find any instructions from the release notes. 
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/release-notes#all_services

None of the above can be found when I tried to Ctrl+F the service name.

It would be very helpful if you can show me the replacement of them or any 
instructions to use them in v10.

Best regards,
Zhe Lin

Re: Find the original asset when getting error: CANNOT_MODIFY_ASSET_NAME when uploading duplicate image

[Zhe Lin]

Hi there, just wonder if any progress you 've made here for this topic.

It's Feb 2022 and I'm still facing the same error.

As another developer mentioned above

> Typically when getting a duplicate error you really expect to have the Id 
or some reference that points you to the original resource, so it would be 
amazing to have that.

That 's really a great thought. So may I have the ID ( or `resource_name` ) 
in the error message ( so for it is just 'The asset has a name which is 
different from an existing duplicate that represents the same content' ) ?
Just change the error message. You don't have to take hours to write and 
publish a blog somewhere.
It would be very very helpful and nobody would reply to this thread and 
bother you again and again.

Would you consider do that ?

Got INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE when setting target CPA for search campaigns

[Zhe Lin]

Good day,

My team are using Google Ads API v8 and we have a set of unit test cases 
that run from time to time to check if we are using API in the right way.

>From today, we noticed a test case started failing. It is about setting the 
TARGET_CPA bidding strategy to a Search campaign ( which was created with 
MANUAL_CPC). The last time the case has passed was 2 days ago.
Wonder if any changes in the API in these 2 days and what actions I should 
take to make it work.

Re: Can't update campaign bidding strategy.

[Zhe Lin]

Greetings,

I also came across the same issue, and wonder if there is any update about 
this.

I 'm using v8 and I 'm not able to set a DISPLAY campaign using 
MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS or MANUAL_CPM as its bidding strategy when UPDATE it.

Here is some more information and hope it helps.
* It is fine to CREATE display campaigns using those bidding strategies
* It is fine to update a SEARCH campaign using MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS as its 
bidding strategy with a `target_cpa` set to it.
  * However, it is not possible to update using MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS 
without setting the `target_cpa`. The API call completes without any error 
but the bidding strategy just won't be set to the campaign
* It is fine to update a display campaign using MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS 
strategy by the old AdWords API

Looking forward to your reply.

Reset a keyword's bid amounts

[Zhe Lin]

Hi there,

I'm trying to reset the `biddingStrategyConfiguration.bids` of a keyword 
(ad group biddable criterion) by API.

I think after I do that the `cpcBidSource` of the keyword should be reset 
from 'CRITERION' to 'ADGROUP'. (Please let me know if it's not true)

Since "BidSource" is a read only field I tried something else, like setting 
its 'biddingStrategyConfiguration.biddingStrategyType' to 'NONE',
as in the reference 

 
it says 'NONE' is a *special bidding strategy type used to reset the 
bidding strategy at AdGroup and AdGroupCriterion*.
It did have some effects but not what I expected.

Before change: (I'm using Python and this dict is what I got from the API)

'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {
'biddingStrategyId': None,
'biddingStrategyName': None,
'biddingStrategyType': 'MANUAL_CPC',
'biddingStrategySource': None,
'biddingScheme': None,
'bids': [
{
'Bids.Type': 'CpcBid',
'bid': {
'ComparableValue.Type': 'Money',
'microAmount': 1100
},
'cpcBidSource': 'CRITERION'
}
],
'targetRoasOverride': None
},


After change:

'biddingStrategyConfiguration': {
'biddingStrategyId': None,
'biddingStrategyName': None,
'biddingStrategyType': 'MANUAL_CPC',
'biddingStrategySource': 'CAMPAIGN',
'biddingScheme': {
'BiddingScheme.Type': 'ManualCpcBiddingScheme',
'enhancedCpcEnabled': True
},
'bids': [
{
'Bids.Type': 'CpcBid',
'bid': {
'ComparableValue.Type': 'Money',
'microAmount': 1100
},
'cpcBidSource': 'CRITERION' # the cpcBidSource is still 
'CRITERION'
},
{
'Bids.Type': 'CpmBid',
'bid': {
'ComparableValue.Type': 'Money',
'microAmount': 100
},
'cpmBidSource': 'ADGROUP'   # this bid value appears after 
change
}
],
'targetRoasOverride': None
},


I also tried passing an empty "biddingStrategyConfiguration.bids" list but 
it doesn't help too.

Can you tell me what I'm supposed to do? Thanks in advance.
