Placement targeting for specific Mobile Apps

[Praveen Maurya]

Hi , 

We are trying to create targeting at specific mobile app by entering App URL as below - 

Once user enters it, we can not verify if this is available to target or not and so user assumes he has targeted it in the expected way. Also we do not get any API validation response if the App targeting is successfully implemented. 

So we want to see if this app is available to target in Google display network or give some error response so that we can prompt user to try another app for targeting.

Does Google provide any App search API or any other alternative approach to solve this problem?

In Google Adwords UI, Google returns a list of Apps when App name or App URL is entered in the targeting field. See below - 

Any help will be appreciated by Google API team or Forum experts.

Thanks.

Hi Praveen,

It appears that the screenshots you attached cannot be viewed from our end. If it isn't too much trouble, could you try attaching them once more as a file so we could investigate further? Should they contain sensitive information such as your developer token or any information mentioned in our guidelines, please send them in private by using Reply privately to author.

Best regards,

Hi Praveen,

Unfortunately, the AdWords API does not have app lookup/verification functionality. You may want to check out the Google Play Developer API to see if there's a way to do this with that API.
