Is Target CPA Simulator data available through the API?

For individual keywords the CriterionBidLandscape is available through the DataService:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201509/DataService.CriterionBidLandscape

Is something similar available for bid strategies (specifically Target CPA)?

In the interface it is available through the little graph link:

Thanks!

Hello,

In the AdWords API, there is BiddingStrategyType.TARGET_CPA and it is associated TargetCpaBiddingScheme is a SharedBiddingStrategy. Please check out the Bidding guide for more details.

Thanks,

Hi Umesh,

Many thanks for your reply. It doesn't answer my question however.

Is Target CPA Simulator data available through the API?

Thanks

Hello,

In the AdWords API, the Bid landscapes give the user the research information about estimated performance for your ad groups and criteria and could be used this information to adjust your bidding strategy. The Bid landscape is analogous to bid simulators in the AdWords user interface. The DataService supports two types of landscapes AdGroupBidLandscape and  CriterionBidLandscape. Please check out Bid landscape guide and GetKeywordBidSimulations Java client library example.

Revisiting this after 3 years. Is simulator data for target CPA bid strategies available via the API? It is available though the AdWords UI. 

Again, NOT referring to the campaign/ad group/criterion level bid landscapes. Those are clearly documented here.

Thanks.

Hi,

Target CPA Simulator is not supported in AdWords API and currently available only in Google Ads UI. You may follow our blog for any updates on AdWords API.

Thanks and regards,
