Re: How do I filter on PlaceholderTypes in CampaignFeedService?

[Takeshi Hagikura (AdWords API Team)]

Hi, 

Looks like you can use EQUALS operator. 

I'll get back to you as for IN operator. 

(CONTAINS operator is targeted for String values. So it shouldn't be allowed)

Best,

Hi,

I'm trying to run a get call on the CampaignFeedService where I only get the feeds for site links.

I tried creating my selector like this (in Java):

        Selector selector = new Selector();

        selector.setFields(new String[] { "CampaignId", "FeedId", "MatchingFunction", "PlaceholderTypes", "Status" });

        Predicate idPredicate = new Predicate();

        idPredicate.setField("CampaignId");

        idPredicate.setOperator(PredicateOperator.IN);

        idPredicate.setValues(getIds(campaigns));

        Predicate typePredicate = new Predicate();

        typePredicate.setField("PlaceholderTypes");

        typePredicate.setOperator(PredicateOperator.CONTAINS);

        typePredicate.setValues(new String[] { String.valueOf(GooglePlaceholder.SITELINKS) });

        Predicate statusPredicate = new Predicate();

        statusPredicate.setField("Status");

        statusPredicate.setOperator(PredicateOperator.EQUALS);

        statusPredicate.setValues(new String[] { "ACTIVE" });

        selector.setPredicates(new Predicate[] { idPredicate, typePredicate, statusPredicate });

        return selector;

But when I run this I get the following error:

            <faultstring>[SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_OPERATOR @ selector; trigger:'PlaceholderTypes']</faultstring>

            <detail>

                <ApiExceptionFault xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201302">

                        <errorString>SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_OPERATOR</errorString>

                        <ApiError.Type>SelectorError</ApiError.Type>

                        <reason>INVALID_PREDICATE_OPERATOR</reason>

                    </errors>

                </ApiExceptionFault>

            </detail>

I also tried using IN as the operator for the placeholder types predicate but with the same result.

Am I going about this in the wrong way?

Thanks

Is that means we can't filter multiple placeholder types with CampaignFeedService?

Peng,

Just to follow up, have you tried the IN operator

Thanks,

I try this but get that the following error

Root reason: [SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_FIELD_NAME @ selector; trigger:'placeholderTypes']

doesnt matter if i use IN or CONTAINS

[Ray Tsang (AdWords API Team)]

Giles,

I'll look into this.

Thanks,

Ray

Peng,

Have you tried to use CONTAINS_ANY or CONTAINS_ALL predicates?  These should work as expected.  Which service were you trying to select from?

Thanks,

Ray
