Listing Custom Intents, or searching by them by name

[Mark]

Hello,

I know that you can target Custom Intents using the AdGroupCriterionService by adding CriterionCustomIntents. However, it is not clear how to retrieve the customIntentId that I wish to target. Is there an API endpoint which returns the available custom intents, or lets me query for them by their name?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

You can refer to the criteria prefixes section (under the Custom intent audiences section) of our reporting guide to determine how to retrieve the custom intent ID. In the guide, it is discussed that you can use the Criteria or CriteriaParameters fields then parse its value to retrieve the ID. Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

The documentation you linked says, The AdWords API does not support management or retrieval of custom intent audiences via services such as AdGroupCriterionService.  

We are looking to implement a feature where we can use the IDs of auto generated custom intents for targeting, I understand that these IDs cannot be retrieved directly through the API. However, if we know the ID of a custom intent audience, it can be targeted through the API. Can we also target auto generated custom intent audiences?

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to target an auto generated custom intent audience using the API. Here is the list of available criterion types.
