How to add headlines for AppAdInfo using python?

[Yang Wenjun]

Hi Team,

Below is my code for creating AppAdInfo for some AdGroupAd.

Currently I stuck at assign headlines values.  I tried to search samples but no succeed.

Could you please give a sample of adding new AppAdInfo in python?

Thanks!

Hello Yang,

Thank you for reaching out. You need to populate the list of ad_group_ad.ad.app_ad.headlines and ad_group_ad.ad.app_ad.descriptions with the list of strings to add values to this headlines. You could refer to this code sample for adding the parameters to your ad_group_ad and creating AppAdInfo object. Below is the sample code snippet for reference in PHP. You could implement the similar logic in python client libraries on your end. Please give this a try and let us know if you are still having trouble creating this object for Ad Group Ad.

   $appAd = new AppAdInfo();
   $textAsset1 = new AdTextAsset();
   $textAsset1->setText(new StringValue( ['value' =>'D1']));
   $textAsset2 = new AdTextAsset();
   $textAsset2->setText(new StringValue( ['value' =>'D2']));
  $appAd->setDescriptions([$textAsset1, $textAsset2]);
