Trying to edit Product Status via API Bulk upload of CSV file.

[Michael Jenkins]

We currently are using Google Ads Editor to be able to do this. Essentially we generate a CSV file with: Campaign Name, Ad Group, Product Group, Product Group Type.

The Product Group Type is essentially the Product Status of Biddable or Excluded. With the CSV we just need to add it to the Editor and Update.

However, trying to find a way to do that within the Google Ads API it seems like that isn't possible? I am not sure if I am just missing something or stuff is labeled differently. From what I can tell it seems like it isn't possible which id assume it would be.

Obviously, I know I would need to port in Campaign ID, Ad Group ID, Product ID. That I don't care about that is easy. It's just the Bulk Update Campaign Product Bid Status via API that is not a thing.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike Jenkins

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out. You can issue a MutateAdGroupCriteriaRequest to make changes to ad group criterion, such as product listing groups statuses. However, the Ads API documentation does not contain a code sample for implementing this in bulk. The closest sample is the AddShoppingProductListingGroupTree sample.
