how do I get the list of placement in a adgroup?

[ken...@blvnp.com]

I want to retrieve the list of Placement in a adgroup via the API, is it possible in the first place?

can anyone point me the right direction? reference, etc. Where I can start study in the API. There is no example given in the google adwords api sample.

I am using PHP, by the way.

Hi Kendan,

My apologies as we do not have a specific example on getting the list of placements in an ad group. However, you may refer to this example and just change the service to AdGroupCriterionService as well as the query/selector and objects being used. In your query, you can filter by CriterionType = PLACEMENT.

You may refer to the sample SOAP request snippet below:

<soapenv:Body>
    <get xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710">
        <serviceSelector>
            <fields>AdGroupId</fields>
            <fields>Id</fields>
            <fields>CriteriaType</fields>
            <fields>KeywordText</fields>
            <fields>DisplayName</fields>
            <predicates>
                <field>CriteriaType</field>
                <operator>EQUALS</operator>
                <values>PLACEMENT</values>
            </predicates>
            <paging>
                <startIndex>0</startIndex>
                <numberResults>100</numberResults>
            </paging>
        </serviceSelector>
    </get>
</soapenv:Body>

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
