ManagedCustomerService Filtering By AccountLabels

[Daniel Alvarado]

Hi Team, 

I'm trying to pull a simple report that gets performance data for a sub-section of our accounts based on a given label. However, I'm having a terrible time figuring out how to setup the Predicate correctly, as anything I try results in 

[InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR @ com.google.ads.api.services.common.error.InternalApiError.<init>(InternalApiErro]

$user = $this->user;

//Reset to the main MCC

$user->SetClientCustomerId(AWHelper::$MASTER_CLIENT_ID);

// Get the service, which loads the required classes.

$managedCustomerService =

    $user->GetService('ManagedCustomerService', AWHelper::$ADWORDS_VERSION);

// Create selector.

$selector = new Selector();

// Specify the fields to retrieve.

$selector->fields = array('AccountLabels','CustomerId',  'Name', 'CanManageClients', 'CurrencyCode');

$predicate = new Predicate();

$predicate->field = 'AccountLabels';

$predicate->operator = 'CONTAINS_ANY';

$predicate->values = array($labelName);

$selector->predicates = array($predicate);

// Make the get request.

$graph = $managedCustomerService->get($selector);

// Display serviced account graph.

if (isset($graph->entries)) {

    $accounts = array();

    foreach ($graph->entries as $account) {

        //Only include non-manager accounts

        if (!$account->canManageClients) {

            $accounts[$account->customerId] = $account;

        }

    }

    return $accounts;

} else {

    return null;

}

I've also tried a few combinations for the predicate such as: 

$predicate = new Predicate();

$predicate->field = 'AccountLabels';

$predicate->operator = 'IN';

$predicate->values = array($labelName);

and

$predicate = new Predicate();

$predicate->field = 'AccountLabels';

$predicate->operator = 'EQUALS';

$predicate->values = $labelName;

Be advised, I'm trying to filter by Label Name, as I don't know what the Label IDs are. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Account label filtering in the AdWords API is based on the AccountLabel id rather than the name. Therefore, if you create a predicate using the AccountLabels field, CONTAINS_ANY or CONTAINS_ALL, and the AccountLabel IDs, it should work as expected.

<ns10:predicates xmlns:ns10="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201506">

    <ns10:field>AccountLabels</ns10:field>

    <ns10:operator>CONTAINS_ANY</ns10:operator>

    <ns10:values>4099876</ns10:values>

    <ns10:values>4099899</ns10:values>

</ns10:predicates>

To get the list of available account labels and their IDs, you can use AccountLabelService.get.

Cheers,
