How can I get vertical based on the list of keywords/text?

[Pavel Konovalov]

I need to classify the list of keywords or, better the specific text to one or several Verticals -  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/verticals based. How can I do this?

Hi Pavel,

Please check out the sample (JAVA). As you can see, this sample code gives you the keyword and the associated category by using the TargetingIdeaService. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 

Thanks,

Well as I can see  TargetingIdeaService. returns  "keywords related to a seed keyword" and the associated category of that related keywords and that are different categories for different related keywords, but how to get the category of the original "seed keywords" in this case, or category of document, or site by URL.  Can you please help with this problem?

Hi Pavel, 

Could you please try by setting the RequestType set to STATS? This should get you the specific keyword. Setting it to IDEAS will get you the related keywords.

Hi, Sreelakshmi

< Could you please try by setting the RequestType set to STATS? This should get you the specific keyword. Setting it to IDEAS will get you the related keywords.

Yes, this works for keywords, thank you! But what can I do for the text  or URL to see it category?  I can only pass a list of keywords. What if I have a site(typicaly task), let say http://www.mercedes-benz.ua/ and what to show it category what should do?

 RelatedToUrlSearchParameter "is supported by following RequestTypes: IDEAS." .So I can't use it. Also, I can't just pass plain text from that inside the queries elements. What should we do?

Hi Pavel, 

Unfortunately, what you are trying to achieve might not be possible for Url and text as the SearchParameter with desired IdeaType is not supported by the API.
