Java API, get fields of AdGroupCriterion

[Daniel Santonja]

Hi all,

I am having some trouble getting the fields of an AdGroupCritrerion object that I have obtain thought a call to AdGroupCriterionService.
In the selector builder I add several fields and if I inspect the object with the debugger there they are indeed but I am unable to get them as they seem to be private attributes and there are no get method to retrieve them.

This is the code

SelectorBuilder builder = new SelectorBuilder();
Selector selector = builder
    .fields(
        AdGroupCriterionField.Id,
        AdGroupCriterionField.FinalUrls,
        AdGroupCriterionField.Status,
        AdGroupCriterionField.KeywordText)
    .in(AdGroupCriterionField.CriteriaType, "KEYWORD")
    .equals(AdGroupCriterionField.Status, "ENABLED")
    .build();
AdGroupCriterionPage page = keywordService.get(selector);
for(AdGroupCriterion keyword: page.getEntries()){
    System.out.println(keyword.getCriterion().getId());
    System.out.println(((Keyword) keyword.getCriterion()).getText());
    System.out.println(keyword.getFinalUrls() //What I expected
}

I am confident that there is a way to retrieve those fields, maybe casting to another class like with the getText() line or through another object but I haven't been able to find the way.

I hope I was clear and thank you.

Hi Daniel,

You will need to cast the AdGroupCriterion to the BiddableAdGroupCriterion class. From there, you can get certain fields such as final URLs.

Here is a snippet on how to do so

 BiddableAdGroupCriterion bac =  (BiddableAdGroupCriterion) adGroupCriterionResult;
 System.out.printf("Keyword final url is %s",bac.getFinalUrls().getUrls(0));

Cheers,

Anthony
