Feed type selection

[Mario Wilkens]

hey all,

not sure if I miss something but when I create a feed via API (what works fine) how do I define the type of the feed? e.g. "Dynamic display ad feed (Real estate)".

I created a test campaign via browser and since I had 0 feeds AdWords create that type of feed for me when I selected 'Use dynamic ads'.

When I create again a new campaign I see that feed but non of my API versions.

thanks for help
M.

Hey M,

To choose the type of feed you are using, you should set the Feed Placeholder Id. Here is a list of all the Placeholder Feed Ids. For your case, you should use Id = 16 for Real Estate.

hey Anthony,

great that worked. Thanks a lot.

One question. My browser created feed have for Listing ID (key, text) ... my API created feed have Listing ID (text). Does it have any effect? Or do I can set somewhere what the primary key is? The Data Type is STRING.

thanks
Mario

Hey Mario,

The key from the UI can be ignored. It is used by the UI to identify rows in bulk edits. You don't need to worry about it. You can just update the feed attributes that you want to.
