How to correctly use CriterionBidLandscape - 'No bid landscapes found' error

[Paul Lo]

Hello All,

I always get 'No bid landscapes found' message with CriterionBidLandscape service, my code is based on  https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201509/optimization/get_keyword_bid_simulations.py 

the code reads:

	selector = { 'fields': ['AdGroupId', 'CriterionId', 'StartDate', 'EndDate', 'Bid',
	'LocalClicks', 'LocalCost', 'LocalImpressions'],
	'predicates': [
	{
	'field': 'AdGroupId',
	'operator': 'EQUALS',
	'values': [ad_group_id]
	},
	{
	'field': 'CriterionId',
	'operator': 'EQUALS',
	'values': [criterion_id]
	}
	]
	}
	bid_landscapes = data_service.getCriterionBidLandscape(selector)

I'm sure I have correct ADGROUP_ID and CRITERION_ID (keyword id), I want to confirm that:
1. Why it's 'EQUALS' [criterion_id] rather than 'IN' [criterion_id] or 'EQUALS' criterion_id?

2. Do we need to input CompaignId as well?

	{
	'field': 'CampaignId',
	'operator': 'EQUALS',
	'values': [my_campaign_id]
	}

3. Is there any other reason for getting 'No bid landscapes found' message?

Thanks,

Hello,

The code you are using seems to be ok. You will not need to include the Campaign Id. Please make sure you meet all of these requirements since this may be the reason you are not getting any bid landscapes returned.

I think I only need to check Conversion Tracking item, let me double check.

• You need to have an established criterion or ad group so the estimation process can have some baseline information from which to generate its predictions.
• Conversion Tracking must be enabled.
• The account is not a test account. Bid landscapes are based on past performance, but test accounts do not serve ads.
