Bid_strategy_type enum incompatibility

[Ido Karnon]

Hi,

I'm running this query:

SELECT segments.date

, segments.day_of_week

, segments.ad_network_type

, campaign.advertising_channel_type

, campaign.advertising_channel_sub_type

, customer.descriptive_name

, customer.id, campaign.name

, campaign.id

, campaign.status

, ad_group.name

, ad_group.id

, ad_group.status

, campaign.bidding_strategy_type

, ad_group.cpc_bid_micros

, ad_group.cpm_bid_micros

, ad_group.target_cpa_micros

, metrics.cost_micros

, metrics.impressions

, metrics.clicks

, metrics.conversions

, ad_group_ad.ad.name

, ad_group_ad.ad.id

, ad_group_ad.status

, video.id

, ad_group.cpv_bid_micros

, metrics.view_through_conversions

, metrics.cross_device_conversions 

FROM video 

WHERE segments.date BETWEEN '2020-09-02' and '2020-09-02' 

I have a problem with the result I getting for campaign.bidding_strategy_type.
The ENUM values don't match the ones I see here:

For a campaign with a 'target cpa' bidding strategy type the query returns 6 (which according to the documentation is 'MANUAL_CPV') and for a campaign with a manual cpv bidding strategy type the query returns 13 (which according to the documentation is 'TARGET_IMPRESSION_SHARE').

Either the result I get is incorrect or the mapping between number and bidding strategy type is not right.

Can someone assist?

Thanks,

Ido

This is what I got so far from comparing the bidding strategy in the UI to the bidding strategy number I get for the same campaign through the google ads api:
0: "UNSPECIFIED",
1: "UNKNOWN",
2: "ENHANCED_CPC",
3: "MANUAL_CPC",
6: "TARGET_CPA",
13: "MANUAL_CPV",
14: "TARGET_CPM",
15: "TARGET_IMPRESSION_SHARE",

Can someone confirm this is true and fill in the missing ones?

Hi Ido,

Thanks for reaching out. I will check internally within the team to see if there is documentation that will map these values out between the UI and the API. We will reach out to you once we have an update.

Hi,

This is the documentation I found:

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v4/BiddingStrategyTypeEnum.BiddingStrategyType

But it appears to be inconsistent with what I get from the API.

Thanks,

Ido

Hi again,

Any news here?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Ido,

Looks like you may have missed my response on September 8th, so I am reposting here:

Can you please provide a specific campaign and customer ID that highlights the issue you are facing? Our team needs this in order to further confirm if the mapping is correct. Kindly provide these via the Reply privately to author option.

[Ido Karnon]

I can't click o reply to author.

It's grayed out.

When I hover over it it says:

"you do not have permissions to reply to author in this group".

How can I get these permissions?

Hi Ido,

I don't know which library you're using, but according to the Python Proto, there are two different values: "index" and "number", where "index" seems to relate to the order in witch those enumes are listed in the documentation while "number" seems to be the value you get while fetching "campaign.bidding_strategy_type":

https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/blob/master/google/ads/google_ads/v5/proto/enums/bidding_strategy_type_pb2.py

So I'd recommend to use the built-in client library methods to get the correct enum currently related to the number, as in these examples:

Hi Ido,

As an alternative to the Reply privately to author option, you can send the requested details over to our support alias: googleadsa...@google.com. Additionally, you can try Mat's suggestions to see if they provide you with any insight.

[Ido Karnon]

Mat's suggestion was great, didn't know that was an option.

Thanks for your help!
