Google Shopping / Ad's API Help!

[ry...@n-i-e.co.uk]

Hi, 

 

I am currently trying to work with the Google Ad's API to run Ad's on our Shopping Products. 

 

We want to use a PHP script to automatically set the Bid's each day for the products New and Refurbished depending on our stock. 

 

I have all the Keys / API Access.

 

Manual Process - Works As Required

First we add an Ad Group to our Campaign 

Then we add Sub Division's in the Ad Group for each product. 

Then we add another Sub Division for New / Refurbished on each of the product Sub Divisions. 

Now we can set Ad's max CPC for both New & Refurbished Products

 

The Problem with this

So the above allows us to setup the campaigns how we want however we have over 5,000 products and the stock changes daily so it's taking a huge amount of time to manage just a small % of our products. 

 

API Problem

We began using the Google PHP API for Adwords so that we could potentially run a script and the New / Used max CPC would changed based on stock price. 

 

However, the API creates the Ad Group and then I can create the Sub Divisions but where in Google Adwords we could manually set the divisions the Google API is only allowing us to create a division based on the product brand. 

 

Here is the code where it creates the Product Division / Partition <- Bit confusing as Adwords calls them Sub Divisions and API uses Product Partitions.

 

$operation = ProductPartitions::createAddOperation($criterion);
        $operations[] = $operation;  

		$otherCondition = ProductPartitions::createSubdivision(
            $root,
            new ProductCanonicalCondition()
        );
        $criterion = ProductPartitions::asBiddableAdGroupCriterion(
            $adGroupId,
            $otherCondition
        );
        $operation = ProductPartitions::createAddOperation($criterion);
        $operations[] = $operation;
		 
		  
        $coolBrand = new ProductBrand();
        $coolBrand->setValue('Product Brand'); ///WE WANT PRODUCT ID HERE NOT BRAND
        $coolBrandUnit = ProductPartitions::createUnit($otherCondition, $coolBrand);
        $criterion = ProductPartitions::asBiddableAdGroupCriterion(
            $adGroupId,
            $coolBrandUnit,
            900000
        );
        $operation = ProductPartitions::createAddOperation($criterion);
        $operations[] = $operation;

Is there anybody that could help or provide me with some better documentation. Currently I have been using the below links and still can't figure it out.

Thank you, any help is appreciated.

Hi Ryan,

If you want to specify the Id then I would recommend that you use ProductOfferId instead of the ProductBrand dimension. Please note, however, that the ProductOfferId is currently not supported in Smart Shopping Campaigns.

For more information on shopping campaigns and partitioning, you may refer to this guide. Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Thanks and regards,

Peter

@googleadsapi-forumadvisor, Thank you :) that worked perfectly, I now call the ProductOfferId instead of the ProductBrand dimension.
