Setting Google Shopping AdGroup bid value by Id

[Nick Vilenski]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Adwords API to update our AdGroups bids (c#) automatically. I'm looking for a way to update them just by AdGroup Id and our bid value, but I see that some examples of update requires some additional criteria.

What update example should I use for this? Is there some the most correct and simplest way for this?

Regards,
Nick Vilenski.

Hi Nick,

If you are just trying to update the default bid at the ad group level, then you can do something similar to the UpdateAdGroup.cs example, but instead of setting the status, you should set the ad group's biddingStrategyConfiguration with your updated bid, similar to what is shown in the AddAdGroups.cs example.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your answer. There is some other question about API bid update variants:

Is there some way to update not AdGroups but ProductGroups (by something like 'ProductGroup' from ProductPartition report). Looks like Google Adwords Editor has such feature in Keywords and Targeting section.

Hi Nick,

You can update the bids for any BiddableAdGroupCriterion (including ProductPartitions, which are the API equivalent of Product Groups in the user interface) using AdGroupCriterionService. This would be similar to the UpdateKeyword.cs example, except you'd set the criterion ID to the ProductPartition ID instead of a keyword ID.
