[API Migration] In Market Audience Discrepancy

[Kevin]

Hi,

I'm in the process of moving some Ad Words API code to use the Google Ads API and came across an interesting discrepancy.

When I query for IN_MARKET audiences using the https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/ConstantDataService#getuserinterestcriterion, I sometimes get Ids that don't seem to have a mapping. For example,

    80972, 80976, 80978, 80984, 80987, 80986, 80988, 80991, 80997, 81001

The most up-to-date documentation I could find on In Market Audience is here:

About audience targeting - Google Ads Help

And in the "In-market audiences" sections there is a downloadable CSV file with the current categories. None of these IDs exist in that CSV.

On the other hand, when I use the Google Ad API https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v8/user_interest#user_interest.taxonomy_type, I don't get any of those values.

Two questions:

1. What do these IDs correspond to?

2. The only restriction on either query I have is that they are IN_MARKET. Why am I getting different results using different APIs?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API support. Could you send us privately the full Adwords request and response logs containing the non mapped audiences?

Regards,

Hi Aryeh,

Unfortunately, I don't have full logs readily available. However, I have the Summary logs for a recent occurrence, including the Request Ids:

AdWords API:

Request made: Host: adwords.google.com, Service: ConstantDataService, Method: getUserInterestCriterion, clientCustomerId: , Request ID: 0005c808e0ea6ba70a013f7ab00d8bbe, ResponseTime(ms): 84, OperationsCount: 1, IsFault: False, FaultMessage:

GoogleAds API:

[2021-07-26 16:02:22Z] - Request made: Host: https://googleads.googleapis.com, Method: /google.ads.googleads.v8.services.GoogleAdsService/SearchStream, ClientCustomerID: 7649099529,  RequestID: yORcv-dUntmAhs_EfjMIVg, IsFault: False, FaultMessage:

The IDs I mentioned in the previous message still apply for this set of requests:

80972, 80976, 80978, 80984, 80987, 80986, 80988, 80991, 80997, 81001

Let me know if you can work off of these Request Ids to start.

I think it may take some time to get full logs in this case.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the reply. I work with Aryeh and let me provide support to your concern.

To further investigate the issue, our team will be needing the details below:

• Complete SOAP request and response logs generated on your end where we can see those IDs
• Sample comparison of Google Ads API log (complete request and response logs with request) and AdWords API log (SOAP logs) showing this issue "getting different results using different APIs"

You can provide those details via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then you can provide it via this email googleadsa...@google.com.

Also, if you haven't enabled the logging of the API transactions for the specific client library that you are using, then please refer to the specific guide below:

• Java - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/java/logging
• .Net - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/dotnet/logging
• PHP - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/php/logging
• Python - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python/logging
• Ruby - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/ruby/logging
• Perl - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/perl/logging

For AdWords API, then you may refer to one of the guides below:

• Java - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib#how-do-i-enable-logging
• .Net - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-dotnet-lib#how-to-enable-logging
• PHP - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib#configuring-logging
• Perl - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-perl-lib#how-do-i-enable-logging
• Python - https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib#how-do-i-log-soap-interactions
• Ruby - https://github.com/googleads/google-api-ads-ruby#logging
