Paging not working with LocationCriterionService

[Harsh Patel]

Hello, I am trying to page through results from the LocationCriterionService. I am observing that the paging has no effect on the results returned even though Paging is supported in the documentation.

I am searching for all Location Criterion which contain the the name "Washington". I always get the same 10 results, no matter what is set for the startIndex and numberResults.

The first request, as you can see it has startIndex set to 8 and numberResults set to 1:

Hi Harsh,

Thank you for reaching out! I will check internally within the team to see if this behavior is expected. We will reach out to you again once we have an update.

Greetings!

LocationCriterionService is one of those services that has a finite number of results that could possibly return, so the paging mechanism was not utilized since paging is meant for handling larger requests. If you pass it in, as you can see, there won't be a change in the results. If you take a look in our code examples (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/location-targeting#look_up_location_codes_for_a_region), paging is not used.

I do appreciate you being so observant to notice this. That behavior for this particular service has been around for a very long time, and the results coming back are limited, so we have kept the behavior as is. If we were to try to change it at this time, it may break someone else's code.

Cheers,
Nadine Wang, Google Ads API Team

Hi Nadine,

Thanks for looking into the issue. Can you advise another way to programmatically find the Location ID of the state of Washington. Its not returned in the first 10 results because there are many other types of locations which contain "Washington". Is there another filter I could possibly add or can I change the string I am searching by?

Thanks,

Harsh

Hello Harsh,

I would suggest using the LocationCriteironService.query() and calling this query: 

SELECT Id, DisplayType WHERE LocationName = "Washington,United States" AND Locale = en AND CountryCode = "US" LIMIT 0,100

I just gave it a try, and the first one that came back was the state of Washington.

Happy coding,
Nadine, Google Ads API Team
