Hello,

1. Where can get Audience list as like google ads UI such as Search, Ideas, Browse.

• In the Google Ads API, the Search, Ideas and Browse tabs correspond to the different criterion IDs. You can find a list of all the available criterion IDs, codes and formats in this documentation. Please expand the "Affinity Categories" section to view the audience criterion IDs that match the ones in your screenshot.

2. Sample to setup audience list in AdGroup

• Please refer to the sample code in the documentation I provided here to target ads in an ad group to a user list. Though it is not in PHP, you will have to use the Java code for reference as it is the only sample available. As developers, I'm sure it won't be difficult to work around. You may also refer to the PHP code samples for targeting here if you need additional reference. I have attached a screenshot of the portion of the documentation where the sample is located:
• Additionally, if you would like to see the available PHP examples for Remarketing, you can refer here as well. 

3. What are Audience list can be done via API, there are 5 types in google ads. For reference attached screen shots.

• The available audience lists in AdWords API are listed here in the guide I provided in my previous email.  

4. Please let me know the possible types to done with API and also how to get listing of Audiences from Google ads which is nor created myself.

• See answer to question #3 and #1, respectively. With regards to your question on custom affinity, it may be helpful to take a look at this documentation for Remarketing lists and custom combinations. Let me know if this is what you are looking for. 

Additionally, I can see that you have opened a few cases regarding the same or similar concerns (for one instance, here). For tracking purposes, please try not to open duplicate threads on the same issue.

Thanks, let me check with shared details in development. Ask you further if have any queries.

Hi

From you:

1. Where can get Audience list as like google ads UI such as Search, Ideas, Browse.

    In the Google Ads API, the Search, Ideas and Browse tabs correspond to the different criterion IDs. You can find a list of all the available criterion IDs, codes and formats in this documentation. Please expand the "Affinity Categories" section to view the audience criterion IDs that match the ones in your screenshot.

My queries:

Have check with https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/codes-formats#top_of_page, there i can find CSV for Affinity categories and In-market categories, but there is no data available for Life events, Detailed Demographic targets under who are they. Have attached screen shots for missed data.

Hello All,

Please find my answers to your questions below:

@denma test
Unfortunately, the Life events and Detailed Demographic targets are not available in the AdWords API. You will have to continue using the UI in order to use these fields. 

@cv
Yes, this is also available in Google Ads API. You can refer to this documentation for TargetingSetting. For more details on how to access TargetingSetting, please take a look at this guide.

Hi,

You can retrieve the custom affinity via CustomAffinityService.get().

Hi

Yes, i knew it and done with code as below

public function listCustomAudiences() {
        $session = self::setSession();
        $adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices();
        $customAffinityService = $adWordsServices->get($session, CustomAffinityService::class);
        $customAudienceLists = [];
         // Create the selector.
        $selector = new Selector();
        $selector->setFields([
            'CustomAffinityId','Name','Type'
        ]);
        $selector->setPredicates(
            [               
                new Predicate(
                    'Type',
                    PredicateOperator::IN,
                    [
                        'CUSTOM_AFFINITY',
                        'CUSTOM_INTENT'
                    ]
                )
            ]
        );

        // Retrieve the conversion tracker and print out its information.
        $customAffinityResult = $customAffinityService->get($selector)->getEntries();
        // print_r($customAffinityResult);exit();
        if ($customAffinityResult !== null) {
            foreach ($customAffinityResult as $key => $value) {
                $customAudienceLists[$value->getType()][$key]['id'] = $value->getId();
                $customAudienceLists[$value->getType()][$key]['name'] = $value->getName();
                $customAudienceLists[$value->getType()][$key]['type'] = $value->getType();
                // print_r($value->getId());
            }
        }
        print_r($customAudienceLists);
    }

Thing is it will return data corresponding to my accoutn in API, but in Google Ads UI i can get data which is not created by myself. So i need details specific to this.

Hello,

You won't be able to get the auto generated audiences through the API. You can only see the ones listed here.
