How to bid on a placement (mobile) in the API ? 
I have a campaign-id, adgroup-id, and placement-URL.

i started to research the solution, but still didn't find which direction to take for setting the bid. 
(i have very little experience with adwords API)

maybe there's other terms that i'm missing

(i'm using python-googleads, but an example in any language would help)

Thank you

Hi,

You would do this by creating a Placement within a BiddableAdGroupCriterion, setting the BiddableAdGroupCriterion's bidModifier or biddingStrategyConfiguration, and sending the BiddableAdGroupCriterion to the AdGroupCriterionService in a mutate call.

This would be similar to adding bids for other types of criteria such as keywords. See AddKeywords.java for an example that uses keywords.

You may also find our Bidding Guide helpful if you're new to bidding via the API.

Cheers,

With your answer, i found "googleads/examples/v201402/basic_operations/add_keywords.py"  and just tweaked it to work with placement urls.

(consequently i have other questions, but i'll open a new thread for them.)

Thank you
