Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

['Giles Bodger' via AdWords API Forum]

Hey Josh - 

You were right, i had thought we were REMOVEing all out feed items as we 
disassociated the feed items from the campaigns, but turns out we weren't! 
- So we will now make amends, thanks for you help here

cheers

 Hi guys - 

 I posted this question originally about 18 months ago - 

 So 18 months later, i find that a few of our accounts are actually near 
 the account limit of 400,000 feed items. In fact i am currently looking at 
 one Feed that has 400,034 feed items in it.

 When we add sitelinks to our campaigns we use the FeedItemService and 
 the "Remove" operation to remove the currently associated Feed Items, and 
 then add a new ones. We do this VERY regularly as our links can change 
 many 
 times a day


 We are now getting errors on trying to add new feed items

 "EntityCountLimitExceeded.ACCOUNT_LIMIT"

 And like i said, i can navigate to the Shared Library for the 
 particular account and can see that for the Sitelink feed we are indeed 
 over the 400k number


 So what would be the advice on how to now add sitelinks to campaigns in 
 this account - Is there a way to actually delete FeedItems from a feed 
 that 
 isnt just using the "Remove" operation - It would appear that removed 
 items 
 still count towards your entity limit


 cheers in advance

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

['Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum]

Hi Giles,

Thanks for the ID. I took a look, and from what I can tell, the 400,000+ 
feed items all have status *ENABLED*. I also confirmed this by performing a 
FeedItemService.query 

 for 
that ID + Status 

 = 
*ENABLED*, which returned *totalNumEntries = 400034*.

When you are performing your *REMOVE* operations, are you using 
FeedItemService.mutate 

 or 
*CampaignFeedMappingService.mutate/AdGroupFeedMappingService.mutate*? If 
the latter, then the only thing you are removing is the *association* between 
the feed items and the campaign/ad group. The feed items themselves will 
still remain *ENABLED*, and therefore will count towards the account limit.

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

 In the usual course of operations, you probably won't be creating a 
 feed, creating its feed items, and then deleting its feed items all in the 
 space of a few minutes. I think the more likely use case is that you'll 
 create a feed and its feed items, and then several days/weeks/months 
 later, 
 you'll delete or update some feed items. In the latter use case, the sync 
 service should give you back FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems 
 
  or FeedChangeData.changedFeedItems 
 
  if 
 your date range just covers the window where the feed items were deleted 
 or 
 updated.

 If you see results that contradict my explanation, please let me know.

Hi Giles,

Could you share your AdWords client customer ID (or even just the Feed ID)? 
The approach you described sounds correct to me, so I want to take a closer

I posted this question originally about 18 months ago - 

So 18 months later, i find that a few of our accounts are actually near the 
account limit of 400,000 feed items. In fact i am currently looking at one 
Feed that has 400,034 feed items in it.

When we add sitelinks to our campaigns we use the FeedItemService and the 
"Remove" operation to remove the currently associated Feed Items, and then 
add a new ones. We do this VERY regularly as our links can change many

We are now getting errors on trying to add new feed items

"EntityCountLimitExceeded.ACCOUNT_LIMIT"

And like i said, i can navigate to the Shared Library for the particular

So what would be the advice on how to now add sitelinks to campaigns in

CustomerSyncService was that precise! I agree this probably isn't your 
typical use case though. Thank you for such a detailed response!

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Stacie,

I ran some tests for that account and found that the date/time range for 
the *CustomerSyncService* request modified the returned values as follows:

(NOTE: The feed item in question was removed @ 2014-07-25 
06:57:44 America/Los_Angeles)

1. 20140725 065743 America/Los_Angeles - 20140725 065746 America/Los_Angeles
Returned feed item ID 783546139 in the removedFeedItems 

 collection

2. 20140725 0657*00* America/Los_Angeles - 20140725 065746 
America/Los_Angeles
Same as #1

3. 20140725 065*000* America/Los_Angeles - 20140725 065746 
America/Los_Angeles
Same as #1

4. 20140725 06** America/Los_Angeles - 20140725 065746 
America/Los_Angeles
Returned

  18907067
  NEW

20140725 065746 
America/Los_Angeles

The reason the response changed when I went back to *06:00:00 
America/Los_Angeles* is that now the date/time range of my request 
encompassed the *creation* of the *Feed* and the *FeedItem*, which occurred 
at *2014-07-25 06:40:02 America/Los_Angeles*, as well as the deletion of 
*FeedItem*s at *2014-07-25 06:40:39 America/Los_Angeles *and *2014-07-25 
06:57:44 America/Los_Angeles*. Per the docs on 
FeedChangeData.feedChangeStatus 
,
 
the value of *NEW* indicates:

This entity was created during the time frame we're looking at. We will not 
> enumerate all of the individual changes to this entity and its children. 
> Instead it should be loaded from the appropriate service.


In the usual course of operations, you probably won't be creating a feed, 
creating its feed items, and then deleting its feed items all in the space 
of a few minutes. I think the more likely use case is that you'll create a 
feed and its feed items, and then several days/weeks/months later, you'll 
delete or update some feed items. In the latter use case, the sync service 
should give you back FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems 

 or FeedChangeData.changedFeedItems 

 if 
your date range just covers the window where the feed items were deleted or 
updated.

If you see results that contradict my explanation, please let me know. 
Thanks for helping out with these questions -- it's great to have others 
from the community contributing answers!

Josh, AdWords API Team

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Stacie Waleyko]

Hi Josh,

I was trying this out on a non-test account. Here is the request and 
response. I created and deleted the feed today so maybe that explains it? I 
did play around with the dateTimeRange and tried using a window that would 
only have the feed item deletion but had no luck. The feed item was removed 
at 13:57:44 GMT and the requestId from the SOAP response is 
0004ff04f52197300a4c12456c007ded. Let me know if you need additional 
information.

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Giles,

Stacie is absolutely correct -- the proper way to delete a FeedItem is to 
pass it in a REMOVE operation to FeedItemService.mutate 
.
 
You can also update the FeedItem's attribute values if you prefer that 
approach, as Stacie mentioned.

Regarding *CustomerSyncService*, I just tried removing a FeedItem on a test 
account and a non-test account. On the test account, *CustomerSyncService* was 
not returning any FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems 
,
 
but on the non-test account, *CustomerSyncService* returned the expected 
feed item IDs in its FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems 

.

*Stacie* - were you trying this out on a test account, by any chance?

One tip: don't forget to specify the feed IDs in your CustomerSyncSelector 

 (I 
missed that myself the first time!).

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

 Hi Giles,

 Have you tried sending a mutate request to FeedItemService with the 
 REMOVE operation? I don't think the API counts REMOVED items towards the 
 limit.

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Giles Bodger]

Thanks again for that Stacie - 

I wonder if any of the AdWords Engineers can help on this ?

If there is a limit set on the number of FeedItems on an account then 
surely there MUST be a way to delete a FeedItem.

Can one of the engineers assist and then explain how in a follow up sync i 
would see the deletion / removal ?

cheers

 Our integration will potentially want to be removing and adding new 
 Sitelinks VERY frequently as market forces on our business model dictate. 
 I 
 know there is a 250,000 limit on the number of FeedItems associated with 
 an 
 account and believe it or not, this could be within reach if we are not 
 able to actually delete a FeedItem.

 I read here 
 
  
 - see the post by AdWordsEng-Igor from 12-09-2013 06:21AM - that there is 
 NO way to delete a FeedItem

 So if we wanted to change a Sitelink, would we simply change the URL or 
 Text on a specific FeedItem ID as opposed to deleting the old one and 
 adding a new one ?

 That would seem logical - BUT is there a way, if we wanted, to delete a 
 sitelink from a feed??

 many thanks in advance

 Giles

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Stacie Waleyko]

No problem. I just tried removing a feed item and making a call to 
CustomerSyncService. I was surprised to see the feed item id was not in the 
list of deleted/removed feed items (the response actually didn't even have 
a list of removedFeedItems). I even tried deleting the campaign feed and it 
still wasn't returned in the list. If you can't get it to work I recommend 
making a GET call to FeedItemService to get the status of the feed items. 
The selector takes a dateRange (but not dateTimeRange like 
CustomerSyncService). Good luck!

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Giles Bodger]

Thanks for that Stacie - 

can I presume that any FeedItem that I set to "REMOVE" will then pre 
present in the next CustomerSyncService's  FeedChangedData object's 
deletedFeedItems collection ?

many thanks in advance :)

Re: Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

Hi Giles,

Have you tried sending a mutate request to FeedItemService with the REMOVE 
operation? I don't think the API counts REMOVED items towards the limit.

Deleting FeedItems from a Feed

[Giles Bodger]

Hi all,

is there any way to delete a Sitelink or indeed ANY FeedItem from a Feed ??

Our integration will potentially want to be removing and adding new 
Sitelinks VERY frequently as market forces on our business model dictate. I 
know there is a 250,000 limit on the number of FeedItems associated with an 
account and believe it or not, this could be within reach if we are not 
able to actually delete a FeedItem.

I read here 

 
- see the post by AdWordsEng-Igor from 12-09-2013 06:21AM - that there is 
NO way to delete a FeedItem

So if we wanted to change a Sitelink, would we simply change the URL or 
Text on a specific FeedItem ID as opposed to deleting the old one and 
adding a new one ?

That would seem logical - BUT is there a way, if we wanted, to delete a 
sitelink from a feed??

many thanks in advance

Giles
