How to decode age range, gender, device etc from google ads api

[Bing Bu]

Hi,

We are trying to switch to google ads api, and notice the 

returned values for age range, gender, device etc are numbers

not string names.

I wonder where could we find the mapping between those numbers

and human readable string names.

For instance, the age range 

503001, 503002, 503003, 503004, 503005, 503006, 503999

I guess 503001 is for 18-24, is that correct?

Just found the code format reference:

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/data/codes-formats?hl=en

All good now for age range and gender.

However, for device, I got 2, 3, 4, 6 from the google ads api,

but your reference gives

Platform name Criterion ID
Desktop 30000
HighEndMobile 30001
Tablet 30002
ConnectedTv 30004

They do not match.

Where could I find reference for the device type id 2, 3, 4, 6?

Hi Bing,

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v8/DeviceEnum.Device is what you are looking for.

Hi Aryeh,

Thanks for the info.

But how could I map the integer id values to these string names?

I mean I get device id 2, 3, 4, 6 from google ads api,

and I have no idea how to map these ids to the string names.

Is 2 for Desktop?

Hi Bing,

This is Yasar and I work with Aryeh. Let me assist you with this.

Kindly note that the retrieved device id numerical value of the enum will vary depending on the client library that you’re using to get it. With this, I recommend you to reach out to the respective client library owner by filing an issue on the issue tracker on the Issue tab of your chosen client library on the github, so that they can provide guidance on it. Also, we recommend that you use the enum instead of their code so that you don't have to convert the enum to its numerical value.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Yasar,

Got this.

We will store the string name from the enum instead.

All good now.

Thanks,

Bing
