App Campaign Create Asset API questions

[Naomi Shao]

Hi there,

I was trying to create ad group ad by referring to these docs - guide1 & guide2. I don't quite understand how to add Image and Video assets - for AdImageAsset what should i put for resource name, is it the url? And for AdVideoAsset, i tried with the youtube_video_id (11 char id), getting "RESOURCE_NAME_MALFORMED is malformed: expected \'customers/{customer_id}/assets/{part_1}\'." error. Could you please help?  Below is my code snippet and my confused part is highlighted in red. Would be great if you could provide working example.

Thanks, Naomi

AdTextAsset headline =
        AdTextAsset.newBuilder()
                .setText(StringValue.of(String.format("This is a headline.")))
                .build();

AdTextAsset description =
        AdTextAsset.newBuilder()
                .setText(StringValue.of(String.format("This is a description.")))
                .build();

AdVideoAsset video =
        AdVideoAsset.newBuilder()
                .setAsset(StringValue.of(String.format("Eq8pzzqq7xE")))
                .build();


AppAdInfo appAdInfo = AppAdInfo.newBuilder()
        .addHeadlines(headline)
        .addDescriptions(description)
        .addYoutubeVideos(video)
        .build();



// Wraps the info in an Ad object.
Ad ad =
        Ad.newBuilder()
                .setAppAd(appAdInfo)
                .build();

// Builds the final ad group ad representation.
AdGroupAd adGroupAd =
        AdGroupAd.newBuilder()
                .setAdGroup(StringValue.of(adGroupResourceName))
                .setStatus(AdGroupAdStatusEnum.AdGroupAdStatus.ENABLED)
                .setAd(ad)
                .build();

Hi Naomi, 

The error indicates that the image asset and video asset resource names are not formed correctly. You will need to use the Asset resource as part of the resource name. Please find the code snippet below:

AdVideoAsset video = AdVideoAsset.newBuilder()
.setAsset(StringValue.of(ResourceNames.asset(customerId, 6544940770L)))
.build();

AdImageAsset image = AdImageAsset.newBuilder()
.setAsset(StringValue.of(ResourceNames.asset(customerId, 27398859L)))
.build();

AppAdInfo appadinfo = AppAdInfo.newBuilder()
.addDescriptions(text)
.addAllHeadlines(ImmutableList.of(text, text1))
.addAllDescriptions(ImmutableList.of(description))
.addAllImages(ImmutableList.of(image))
.addAllYoutubeVideos(ImmutableList.of(video))
.build();

Please give this a try and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Hi Bharani,

Thanks for the reply. However it is still not working properly on my end. Below is the error. 

And could you pls help me understand the resource name in setAsset(StringValue.of(ResourceNames.asset(customerId, 6544940770L))), where exactly can I find the string '6544940770L'? Let's say I want to create asset with a youtube video.

Thank you,

Naomi

Hi Naomi, 

You may use the Asset resource to retrieve the specific asset details. You may then use the asset Id to associate them with the ads. If you're looking to create new assets, please refer to this code snippet which might be helpful. Code snippets in other languages can be found here. Can you please give this a try replacing the assetIds? If you're facing any issue, could you please share the complete request and response using Reply privately to author option, to investigate further?
