Getting a list of correct Google Product Bidding Categories

[Eshaan Jayalath]

Hi

 

We are working on a product for Google Shopping Campaign Partition Creation. As a requirement for this solution, we tried downloading the Google Product Bidding Categories using the method ConstantDataService.getProductBiddingCategoryData(selector_US), However after downloading the data, we noticed that we do not have all the product categories that are in our Customer base, without the full category list with correct GoogleCategoryIDs, we cannot create product Partitions for all our Customers.

When we downloaded Categories, we always end up getting the same amount of categories which is about 5,761 records for any client, no matter which Client Account ID is used. A good example of a missing Category is 'Vehicles & Parts', We cannot find this particular category out of the downloaded category list, which is a kind of major issue for us to proceed with this solution.

 

Could you please let us know how to overcome this problem, are we doing something wrong using the method I mentioned or is there any other way to download the same data correctly?

Please advice AS SOON AS Possible.

Thank you.

Hi,

We are aware that the differences in the two sets of categories is proving problematic, and we're actively looking into the issue. I'll post an update here and on the other similar topic as soon as I have more information.
