customer hierarchy with CustomerManagerLink and CustomerClientLink.

[Anand Sumo]

How do I get customer hierarchy by using Google ads API? (in DotNet)

[googleadsapi...@google.com]

Hello,

To get the account hierarchy via Google Ads API beta, you could use the customer_client resource. Through which you can get only the resource name, level, Boolean value of hidden status and Client_customer details of the accounts under your manager account. To get these details the OAuth credentials used to make the API call should be of manager account and the CleintCustomerId passing in the header should be of manager account. Below is the sample query for your reference.

Query in DotNet format below:

Query = @"SELECT
              customer_client.resource_name,
              customer_client.client_customer,
              customer_client.level, customer_client.hidden,
              customer_client.level
              FROM customer_client",
              CustomerId = customerId.ToString() 

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi can we get the "DescriptiveName" in same Query?

[googleadsapi...@google.com]

Hello Anand,

Descriptive name for the customer is not available in the customer_client resource. You have to make another API call to the customer resource. You could use the available customer fields in the customer resource and can pass each customer Id to get the respective details of that customer. Below is the sample search query to fetch the customer details via customer resource.

Query in DotNet format given below:
Query = @"SELECT
                  customer.resource_name,
                  customer.descriptive_name,
                  customer.id, 
                  customer.test_account,
                  customer.tracking_url_template FROM customer",
                  CustomerId = customerId.ToString() //Pass the customer Id that you found on the resource name earlier.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Is there a way to get the descriptive_names without making a separate call for each customer_client? I have approximately 200 client accounts under a manager account, and that's a lot of API calls to get the names of them.

[googleadsapi...@google.com]

Hello,

Unfortunately, It is not possible to get the descriptive name of all the accounts in a single API call. You have to iterate through all the customers to get the descriptive_name. To keep the data normalized we are holding only one resource responsible for a data field.

Thanks Sai for the clarity. This seems to be a significant problem that will prevent many users from completely transitioning from the Adwords API to the Google Ads API, I'm certainly going to continue using the ManagedCustomerService from the Adwords API for this functionality.
