How can I import campaigns of a user logged in my platform ?

[Simone Bonaretti]

Hi,
I've already implemented the CampaignToForecast process and now, I'm trying to import campaigns of the user that do the Log In in my platform and that is not under my management. How can I do that ? 
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

With regards to your concern, can you confirm if you want to use the Google Ads API to perform the following implementation? If so, can you also confirm if you are seeing this implementation via the Google Ads UI? If you are seeing this feature in the UI and want to implement the following via the Google Ads API, then kindly note that Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. Meaning by using the Google Ads API, you can get and manage the data that you are seeing in the UI. 

With that being said, you may provide us with the full (not cropped) and non-redacted screenshot of the Google Ads UI data showing this information you want to perform using the Google Ads API. This is for us to be able to replicate the data on our side and suggest you proper guidance.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

We use the Google Ads API, but the UI is developed by us, so I don't have any screenshot of the Google Ads UI. Our web page, after a login, allows users to try out some forecast. They can also compare the campaigns, on their Google account, with all the forecasts they have produced on our web page. And for this last point I'm here, because We haven't found the right way to import the user's campaings. We are using PHP to develop our project.

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to us with the more details on your use case. However, there isn't a way to import the user's campaigns in Google Ads API. Please note that the Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI’s functionality. That being said, if any such functionality is available on UI, then you may privately send us the screenshot showing it so that we can provide specific recommendations. Besides, if no such functionality is available on Ads UI, then it’s very less likely that such functionality would be available in the API.

As a workaround, I’d suggest you have local copies of campaign resources on your end that you are looking to import, and based on those saved resource objects, you may create a new campaign.

We found and tested a web page that, after a login, import all my campaigns in 30 minutes. So How they do?
For the workaround that you proposed, We don't have a locale copy because the user in not in our organization and that wasn't our intentions to create new campaign

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Kindly note that the Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. Whatever data or feature shows up on the Ads UI, the API should have the same. I would like to inform you that there isn't a way to import the user's campaigns in Google Ads API. 

The possible way to get the desired result is to try to implement the workaround solution provided in our previous conversation. Hope this helps. If you have any more queries related to Google Ads API, please feel free to get back to us.
