Setting frequency_caps for a campaign

[Vinutha Nayak]

Can anyone provide a sample to  set   frequency_caps[]  for a Campaign in Python ?

Since it's array value, I am not sure how it needs to be set ? Unfortunately neither do I find any example in the documentation.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Vinutha,

I'm not as familiar with our Python client library, but I know someone who is. I'll put you in touch with him, so he can help you out with that.

Hi Vinuntha,

Thanks for reaching out with this question! For future reference, this is the perfect type of question to post on the Issues tracker of the Github Repository for the library. It's really helpful to other users who might have the same question :)

The frequency_caps field on a campaign is a repeated message field, which means it's a list of message objects, in this case FrequencyCapEntry object. The proto3 documentation here explains how those fields work and how to manipulate them.

What you'll want to do is call the .add() method on the field, which will insert a FrequencyCapEntry instance into the repeated field and return it back. From there you can set fields on the object directly. Here's an example of it being done in the update_keyword.py example.

Hope that helps!

Hi Souvik,

Which client library are you using? And what's the error that you're receiving?

Hi, 

I am using Python v10 API SDK.

Thanks for your quick response

Hi Souvik,

No problem, since Campaign.frequency_caps is a non-scalar repeated field, you will need to initialize a FrequencyCapEntry message and append it, like you would a normal list in Python.

Our documentation actually has an example for this exact field.

Hope this helps! If you have any other specific questions about using the Python client library, please submit an issue to our GitHub Issues page.

Best,
