Need help on CRUD operations on Search Campaigns using Google Adwords API

[gagan gupta]

Hello Google Team,

May you please help me with the code workflow and documentation for creating the Search Campaigns, assign Keywords, assign AdGroups, Assign all related Ads etc.

I searched these documents already, but they are not helping me with exact code.

1. https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/java/basic-operations#add-campaigns

above link mention generic code, not specific to search campaign.

2. https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/campaigns-overview

above link does not have Seach campaign mentioned, however the Shopping and Smart shopping examples are mentioned.

3. I need Search Campaign code mentioned as similar 

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/shopping#smart_shopping_campaigns

Attached screenshots.

Hi,

The first example you mentioned shows how to implement search campaigns. You will see the line     campaign.setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType.SEARCH) which sets the campaign type to SEARCH. You can find all the fields related to campaigns here.

Would I be able to retrieve all information among these fields as well for an already created campaign? This will help me see how google back end would expect me to send data.

Is there any field need to be mentioned in different way ?

Hi Gagan,

You can use the GetCampaigns example and include any of the fields you want returned in your selector.

1. Unable to GET and POST :

Goal

Languages 

Locations.

Attached Snapshots.

2. Also, getting an error: INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE

Using Code as :

BiddingStrategyConfiguration biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration();
biddingStrategyConfiguration.setBiddingStrategyType(BiddingStrategyType.MAXIMIZE_CONVERSION_VALUE);
campaign.setBiddingStrategyConfiguration(biddingStrategyConfiguration);

I checked by doing GET on Successfully Created Campaigns using Adwords UI and found this value:

BiddingStrategyConfiguration{biddingStrategyType=MAXIMIZE_CONVERSION_VALUE}

which is exactly same as I am coding.

This error does not occur by using other strategies MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS, TARGET_ROAS, TARGET_CPA although all have similiar structure.

Hi Gagan,

1. These are criteria so you will need to use the CampaignCriterionService to pull its data. You can find an example on how to use it here.
2. Please reply privately to author your full SOAP logs that resulted in this error

Hi Gagan,

I replied to you privately with the following:

Goals are not available in the API. For your INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE error, I will need the logs that come in this format.

[gagan gupta]

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate your support.

How shall I send you logs, please give me an email ID, because you are unable to receive private messages and I am also not able to receive your private messages?
