Hi,

All campaigns are created using CampaignService, though the list of settings you have to use varies. You can find some Java examples for PLA campaigns here: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/tree/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201502/shoppingcampaigns

I don't have an example for Remarketing campaigns, but https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201502/basicoperations/AddCampaigns.java is a good starting point. Remarketing campaigns would have advertisingChannelType as DISPLAY.

Cheers,

Hello,

Any updates on this thread?

I am successfully able to create shopping campaigns however bit confused about creating remarketing campaign.I can see that by default "All visitors" is automatically created in Remarketing list.So I want to create a remarketing campaign targeting this "All visitors".However I tried creating one campaign and assign the CriterionUserList Id as userlist Id of "All Visitors" but I cam getting an error like [EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID @ operations[0].operand.criterion; trigger:'CriterionId{id=XXXXXX}']

Can anyone please help me out here?

Thanks,

Hi Ronak,

The error means that the system could not find the ID you provided. Could you check your ID once more? If that doesn't work, send me a SOAP request and response XML by using the "Reply to Author" option, and I can take a look.

Cheers,
Anash

Hello Anash,

First of sorry I have been completely out of touch, Well I have justified the issue and solved from my side itself.What I did is I just created one Display Campaign and created one adgroup under that campaign.Then finally I assigned the "All Visitors" criterion user list ID to that adgroup via Adwords api and its done :)

However I have one problem that I need to create this "All Visitors" audience also via API. How can I add this via Adwords API ?

Thanks,
Ronak Shah
