Hi Chirag,

I once replied to Mark privately, but it seems I forgot to relay 
information here as well.
To exclude *automatic placements, *please do as follows:

Add a NegativeAdGroupCriterion 

 to 
a certain ad group, setting its Criterion.Type 

 to 
*PLACEMENT.*Then, set its url 

 to 
the same one you would like to exclude (the original *automatic placement* of 
your interest).
Finally, use AdGroupCriterionService to execute an ADD operation of the 
*AdGroupCriterion*.
Note that in this way, the *automatic placements *will be changed to 
*managed* one.

To get *automatic placements*, please run 
AUTOMATIC_PLACEMENTS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 

.

Best,
Thanet, AdWords API Team

Hello Mark/Thanet,

I am also in same situation. i wants to pause/exclude placements with 
automatic placements.

Any workaround to pause automatic placements using API?

Thanks,

 The service only returns those with criterion IDs.

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Mark R]

HiThanet,

I had a follow-up question.

As you have mentioned in the thread below - 

*'But possibly they are not returned by Selector due to the fact that they 
are not supposed to be added/deleted by users at first place.'*

*A user can 'Exclude' automatic placements* from the Ad Words user 
interface as shown below. So, Automatic placements are actionable by an 
user. The only difference is that we want to perform the same action using 
an API call instead. 














We will not be adding any new placements. Just excluding them using an API 
call.

Let us know if we have any options to just do the *exclude action using API 
call*.

Thanks for all your help.

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hello Mark,

AdWords script is not my expertise but I'm asking my colleagues for you.
My guess is that it might be not so different between the script and the 
API.

You may get 0 as an ID if you call getId() of 

AdWordApp.Placement 

.

By the way, as you may know, you can use Automatic Placements Performance 
Report 

 to 
get only rows for *automatic placements*.

Cheers,
Thanet, AdWords API Team

 Hello Mark,

 Thanks for your clarification.

 I still think that you should ignore those placements without IDs 
 or not offer them to your users.
 Originally, they are *automatic* placements (i.e., you or your 
 user haven't created them), not the *managed* placements that you 
 can add or delete.

 If you still would like to tweak around them, the best possible way 
 might be using their descriptions instead of IDs.

 We use an internal tool for managing some of our Criterion, and our

 this 
 tool.

  

 Without an ID they would need to individually select each Placement 
 through the AdWords webpage they wish to manipulate, rather than use

 That is just one of other possible ways (e.g., returning an

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Mark,

No, as I mentioned before, automatic placements don't receive Criterion ID, 
that's why their ID are shown as "--" in PLACEMENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and 
as 0 in AdWords user interface.
I apologize that I suggested wrongly. In fact, you cannot obtain the 
placements without ID, namely automatic placements, via 
AdGroupCriterionService.
The service only returns those with criterion IDs.

I'll look for other possible workarounds and will get you updated in case 
we have ones.
But possibly they are not returned by Selector due to the fact that they 
are not supposed to be added/deleted by users at first place.

Cheers,
Thanet, AdWords API Team

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Mark R]

Hey Thanet,

I'm using a very similar implementation of the googleads-java-lib example, 
but that is still not grabbing all the placements.

At a high level, does an Automatic Placements even get a Criterion ID?

Thanks,
Mark

 Thanks for your clarification.

 I still think that you should ignore those placements without IDs or 
 not offer them to your users.
 Originally, they are *automatic* placements (i.e., you or your user 
 haven't created them), not the *managed* placements that you can add 
 or delete.

 If you still would like to tweak around them, the best possible way 
 might be using their descriptions instead of IDs.

 That means the placement is an automatic one 
  (as

 ). In AWFE, 
 it will have value of 0.
 For managed placements you specified, the placement performance

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hello Mark,

You can use a Selector of AdGroupCriterionService 

 
to get placement URLs by the field *PlacementUrl*.

This code example 

 
might be similar to what you would like to do.
Just change the code from using the type *KEYWORD *to *PLACEMENT *instead.

 Without an ID they would need to individually select each Placement

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hello Mark,

Thanks for your clarification.

I still think that you should ignore those placements without IDs or not 
offer them to your users.
Originally, they are *automatic* placements (i.e., you or your user haven't 
created them), not the *managed* placements that you can add or delete.

If you still would like to tweak around them, the best possible way might 
be using their descriptions instead of IDs.

Cheers,
Thanet, AdWords API Team

 That means the placement is an automatic one 
  (as compared 
 to managed placements 
 ). In AWFE, it 
 will have value of 0.
 For managed placements you specified, the placement performance report 
 shows the ID field as usual.

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Mark R]

Hey Thanet,

 

We use an internal tool for managing some of our Criterion, and our team 
would like the capability to bid/pause/remove Placements through this tool.

 

Without an ID they would need to individually select each Placement through 
the AdWords webpage they wish to manipulate, rather than use API calls.

 

Thanks,
Mark

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure I understand your use case correctly.
Why would this mechanism (returning null when the placement is automatic 
one) is problematic to you?

That is just one of other possible ways (e.g., returning an arbitrary 
constant value) to show that a certain row is of automatic, not the one you 
have manually specified.
Could you please tell me what you are trying to achieve so I can help you 
appropriately?

Cheers,
Thanet, AdWords API Team

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Mark R]

Hey Thanet,

That agrees with what we've observed, but is there a technical reason?  It 
seems to also be the case when I pull the Placement through the 
AdGroupCriterionService.

Can you suggest an alternative method for getting the ID?

Regards,
Mark

Re: Placement Performance Report - ID field null

[Thanet Knack Praneenararat (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Mark,

That means the placement is an automatic one 
 (as compared to managed 
placements ). In 
AWFE, it will have value of 0.
For managed placements you specified, the placement performance report 
shows the ID field as usual.

Cheers,
Thanet, AdWords API Team
