GetKeywords printing each result 3 times

[Aditya]

I'm running the standard GetKeywords.java from the library. I put in the ID for a test ad group that I set up (with just a few keywords). This program prints out the expected results, but each one is printed out 3 times in a row. I can't see anything obvious in the code that would cause these to be printed out multiple times, so does anyone have an idea what might be happening?

Here's an example of what I see:

Keyword ad group criterion with ad group id "19839877629", criterion id "11744392", text "dynamics" and match type "BROAD" was found.

Keyword ad group criterion with ad group id "19839877629", criterion id "11744392", text "dynamics" and match type "BROAD" was found.

Hi,

Please try using KeywordMatchType instead of MatchType in line 80 of the example. 

I'll make a note to ensure we update our examples accordingly.

Cheers,

Hello Thanet,

I am using the KeywordMatchType still getting same keywords multiple time.

Please see the code :

$adGroupCriterionService =

      $user->GetService('AdGroupCriterionService', ADWORDS_VERSION);

  // Create selector.

  $selector = new Selector();

  $selector->fields = array('Id', 'CriteriaType', 'KeywordMatchType',

      'KeywordText','CpcBid','FirstPageCpc');

  $selector->ordering[] = new OrderBy('KeywordText', 'ASCENDING');

  // Create predicates.

  $selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('AdGroupId', 'IN', $adGroupId);

  $selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('CriteriaType', 'IN', array('KEYWORD'));

Please see my result.

Keyword with text 'book', match type 'BROAD', criteria type 'KEYWORD', and ID '10005230' was found. 
Keyword with text 'book', match type 'BROAD', criteria type 'KEYWORD', and ID '10005230' was found.

Keyword with text 'careers', match type 'BROAD', criteria type 'KEYWORD', and ID '11904121' was found. 
Keyword with text 'certification', match type 'BROAD', criteria type 'KEYWORD', and ID '11904281' was found.

Is that case, same keywords shared with multiple AdgroupId?

Please advice.

Thanks,

Hello,

Yes. Those keywords should be shared among many ad groups.

If you would like to confirm this, try adding AdGroupId in the selector fields and printing it out.

Hello Thanet,

Yes, I have confirmed same.

There is any way to get only unique kws for all adgroups in one request?

Thanks

Hello,

To the best of my knowledge, we can't do anything with that because the Selector is aimed for returning all information.

You may need to implement the logic of filtering duplicate elements out from the list on your side.

Ok, got your point.
