Adwords API to GoogleAds API Migration

[shashank chandel]

Hi Team,

I'm trying to find the equivalent code sample for "create a remarketing user list audience" in the new Google Ads API. I couldn't find any code sample in the new Google Ads API. Can anyone help with this?  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/java/remarketing#create-a-remarketing-user-list-audience

Thanks

Hi Shashank,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum.

With regard to your concern, the equivalent code sample for "create a remarketing user list audience" in Google Ads API is the Customer Match. Also, you may check these Libraries & Examples to Add Customer Match User List. Let me know if you have any questions with the provided documents.

Best regards,

Hi, thanks for reply. Actually I’m trying to relate the links you shared regarding AddCustomerMatch. I have few doubts :

- Is adding remarketing user list audience is same as adding customer march user list?

- how conversion tracker service is mapped to this ?because In old api sample there is usage of conversiontype and I’m looking similar.

- what is the new api equivalent to the below code specifically conversiontracker service, create conversion type, getting and displaying  conversion ids and trackers.

Thanks

Hi Shashank,

Thank you for getting back to us. I am Sherwin from Google Ads API and I work with Jinky. I hope that you are doing well today.

Moving forward to answer your questions:

• Is adding remarketing user list audience is same as adding customer march user list?

• • Yes. You may also check this guide on how to add customer match user list.

• how conversion tracker service is mapped to this ?because In old api sample there is usage of conversiontype and I’m looking similar.

• what is the new api equivalent to the below code specifically conversiontracker service, create conversion type, getting and displaying conversion ids and trackers.

• • The answer to these two questions is this Add Conversion Based User List. You may try this on your end and please let us know if this works for you.

Kind regards,

Hey, 

We are trying to change from below Adword API code (ref: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/java/remarketing ) to new Google Ad API

// Display user lists.
    for (UserList userListResult : result.getValue()) {
      System.out.printf("User list with name '%s' and ID %d was added.%n",
          userListResult.getName(), userListResult.getId());

      // Display user list associated conversion code snippets.

      if (userListResult instanceof BasicUserList) {
        BasicUserList remarketingUserList = (BasicUserList) userListResult;
        for (UserListConversionType userListConversionType : remarketingUserList
            .getConversionTypes()) {

          ConversionTracker conversionTracker =
              conversionTrackers.get(userListConversionType.getId());
          System.out.printf(
              "Google global site tag:%n%s%n%n", conversionTracker.getGoogleGlobalSiteTag());
          System.out.printf(
              "Google event snippet:%n%s%n%n", conversionTracker.getGoogleEventSnippet());
        }
      }

We need the equivalent of this in the new Google Ad API. We have tried https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/add-conversion-based-user-list, but could find the needed. Can you please help with this?

Hi Ravindra,

Thank you for the reply.

To further help you convert your Adwords API code to Google Ads API code, I would suggest referring to this document. If you have more clarifications regarding this, you may reach out to the Google Ads API Java Client Library issue tracker on github for assistance as they are more equipped for this matter.
