How can I get category ID from Adwords API

[Ravindra Naik]

Hi,

I am trying to use getKeywordIdeas.cs file present in the example folder of client libraries. I am using Adwords Service v201409. Can you suggest me a function in Adwords API which will take input parameter like FOOD, Bakery or Jewellery as category and return Category ID of that category. This is little urgent so can you revert back to me asap.

Hello Ravindra,

You can use ConstantDataService:

  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/ConstantDataService#getVerticalCriterion

or download a CSV from the docs site and integrate into your application:
