Team,

I am creating a SOAP XML Request for Updating the bid value. I am using v201809/AdGroupCriterionService endpoint for it.

Below is my request. I am able to get the response with below request. But I want to update the CpcBid-> MicroAmount. What will be SOAP XML Request for it? Based on the documentation i read, i think "biddingStrategyConfiguration" needs to be updated. But I am not able to create a request for it. Can some one help. Thanks in advance.

<soapenv:Body> <v20:mutate>  <v20:operations>  <v20:operator>SET</v20:operator> <v20:Operation.Type>BiddableAdGroupCriterion</v20:Operation.Type>  <v20:operand>  <v20:adGroupId>XXXXXXXX</v20:adGroupId>  <v20:criterionUse>BIDDABLE</v20:criterionUse>  <v20:criterion> <v20:id>XXXXXX</v20:id> </v20:criterion> <v20:AdGroupCriterion.Type>biddingStrategyConfiguration</v20:AdGroupCriterion.Type> </v20:operand> <v20:exemptionRequests> <v20:key> <v20:policyName>biddingStrategyConfiguration</v20:policyName> <v20:violatingText>biddingStrategyConfiguration</v20:violatingText> </v20:key> </v20:exemptionRequests> </v20:operations> </v20:mutate> </soapenv:Body>

Hi Gunjan,

Could you confirm if my understanding is correct that you are trying to update only the bid? If yes, it appears that you have not included the bid object itself in your SOAP logs. Also, you can follow this example in Java (also available in other languages) on how to update a keyword which already includes the code on how to update your bid.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response. Your understanding is correct. I am trying to update the bid only for particular adGroupId and Criterion.Id. Below is the request I am trying out, by following the example you gave below and reverse engineering it to SOAP Request. But I am getting Unmarshalling error. Please let me know what is the right request as I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Hi Gunjan,

You are passing fields that are no longer necessary for updating your bids such as the ones below :

<v20:biddingStrategyType>MANUAL_CPC</v20:biddingStrategyType>

<v20:biddingStrategySource>CAMPAIGN</v20:biddingStrategySource>

<v20:biddingScheme xsi:type="ManualCpcBiddingScheme">

<v20:BiddingScheme.Type>ManualCpcBiddingScheme</v20:BiddingScheme.Type>

<v20:enhancedCpcEnabled>false</v20:enhancedCpcEnabled>

</v20:biddingScheme>

<v20:cpcBidSource>CRITERION</v20:cpcBidSource

<v20:AdGroupCriterion.Type>biddingStrategyConfiguration</v20:AdGroupCriterion.Type>

You can refer to this section for the implementation of the update. You may then apply the same convention when updating your bids using the AdGroupCriterionService.

Thanks and regards,

Peter

Hi Gunjan,

I would recommend that you follow the UpdateKeyword example (also available in other languages) from the client library, instead for simplicity. Also, since you are SOAP XML directly to construct your requests, you can refer to the sample SOAP request below :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<soapenv:Header>

<ns1:RequestHeader xmlns:ns1="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0">

<ns1:clientCustomerId>CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID</ns1:clientCustomerId>

<ns1:developerToken>REDACTED</ns1:developerToken>

<ns1:userAgent>USER_AGENT</ns1:userAgent>

<ns1:validateOnly>false</ns1:validateOnly>

<ns1:partialFailure>false</ns1:partialFailure>

</ns1:RequestHeader>

</soapenv:Header>

<soapenv:Body>

<mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">

<operations>

<operator>SET</operator>

<operand xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809" xsi:type="ns2:BiddableAdGroupCriterion">

<ns2:adGroupId>ADGROUP_ID</ns2:adGroupId>

<ns2:criterion>

<ns2:id>CRITERION_ID</ns2:id>

</ns2:criterion>

<ns2:biddingStrategyConfiguration>

<ns2:bids xsi:type="ns2:CpcBid">

<ns2:bid>

<ns2:microAmount>20000000</ns2:microAmount>

</ns2:bid>

</ns2:bids>

</ns2:biddingStrategyConfiguration>

</operand>

</operations>

</mutate>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the sample request. It worked :) ...

Regarding the client library, I would love to use it, but our internal network does not allow to directly call the google endpoints. We need to go through our DevEx gateway. I was not able to find a way to set my internal DexEx endpoint in the client library. Also, our servers cannot directly download WSDL from the internet, so it needs to be downloaded before and needs to be part of the code itself. Is that possible through Python client library?

Really appreciate all your help.

Gunjan

Hi Gunjan,

Glad to hear that it worked for you. As for the Python client library setup, you may reach out to the library owners via this link for further assistance as they are more equipped to provide you support regarding this matter.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Peter,

One more question. We are updating 100's of keyword at a time. Is there a way to do a bulk update? If yes, can you send me sample payload request for it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gunjan,

You can use the BatchJobService to accomplish this and you can refer to this guide as to how. We currently do not have a direct example for updating keywords in bulk, however, you can refer to this sample code on how you can implement the BatchJobService using python.

Thanks and regards,
