Hello, 

I was trying to find an example of how to edit/create/delete an ad schedule of a campaign. 

Thank you!!!

Hi Juan,

Unfortunately, we don't have an example on adding ad schedules using the API. You will need to use the CampaignCriterionService with a criteria of AdScheduleInfo. You can use example as a reference. It shows how to add locations and negative keywords criteria using the CampaignCriterionService.

Hi Anthony, 

Thank you for your reply. 

I cannot find a way to do it properly, it does not work, do you have any snippet any language to have an idea, the reference on the website is not very helpful :(

Hi Juan,

Unfortunately, we don't have any examples on how to add it using any language. Just like with other criteria, you will need to set the fields specific to the criteria. For ad schedules, you will need to set fields such as start_hour and end_hour. If you are facing any difficulties, you can share your logs so that I can take a closer look.

I found a solution but it does not work completly

campaign_criterion_service = client.GetService(

'CampaignCriterionService', version='v201809')

# Construct selector and get all campaign targets.

offset = 0

selector = {

'fields': ['DayOfWeek', 'StartHour', 'StartMinute', 'EndHour',

'EndMinute'],

'paging': {

'startIndex': str(offset),

'numberResults': str(PAGE_SIZE)

}

}

page = campaign_criterion_service.get(selector)

It returns an empty campaign object, could you help me please?

See the result below

{

    'totalNumEntries': 0,

    'Page.Type': 'CampaignCriterionPage',

    'entries': []

}

If you can also help me to filter the results by campaign, like starts with of a specific string, will be also great!

Hi Juan,

Can you please share your logs with me through reply privately to author so I can see where the issue is? If you haven't enabled logging, you can follow the steps here.

You can add filters on a campaign by adding a predicate like it is done here.
