How to access a campaigns targetCPA

[CR EG]

Hey all!

I am having some difficulty trying to pull the targetCPA for a specific campaign. Here is what I have, I am using the selector to pull the campaign that I need but when I look at the attributes returned it does not provide the bidding strategy details. 

campaign_service = client.GetService('CampaignService', version='v201802')

    selector = {

        'fields': ['Name'],

        'predicates': {

            'field': 'Id',

            'operator': 'EQUALS',

            'values': campaignID

        }

    }

    campaign = campaign_service.get(selector)

Here is What is returned

{

    'totalNumEntries': 1,

    'Page.Type': 'CampaignPage',

    'entries': [

        {

            'id': *********,

            'campaignGroupId': None,

            'name': '***********',

            'status': None,

            'servingStatus': None,

            'startDate': None,

            'endDate': None,

            'budget': None,

            'conversionOptimizerEligibility': None,

            'adServingOptimizationStatus': None,

            'frequencyCap': None,

            'settings': [],

            'advertisingChannelType': None,

            'advertisingChannelSubType': None,

            'networkSetting': None,

            'labels': [],

            'biddingStrategyConfiguration': None,

            'campaignTrialType': None,

            'baseCampaignId': None,

            'forwardCompatibilityMap': [],

            'trackingUrlTemplate': None,

            'finalUrlSuffix': None,

            'urlCustomParameters': None,

            'vanityPharma': None,

            'selectiveOptimization': None

        }

    ]

}

Anyone have any idea?

Hi,

Using the CampaignService.get(), you will need to include the BiddingStrategyConfiguration in your selected fields then once retrieved through the Campaign object, create an object of its type. You can then extract its BiddingScheme that would then allow you to identify whether it is a TargetCpaBiddingScheme and then get its TargetCpa value.

Thanks and regards,

Get an exception when trying to add "" as select field.

AdWordsApiException: Exception of type 'Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Lib.AdWordsApiException' was thrown.

The field name is not valid.. (Error: SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME, FieldPath: serviceSelector, Trigger: biddingStrategyConfiguration)

Selector selector = new Selector()
                                        {
                                            fields = new[] { "biddingStrategyConfiguration" },
                                            predicates = new Predicate[] { Predicate.Equals(Campaign.FilterableFields.Status, "ENABLED"), },
                                            paging = Paging.Default
                                        };

Hi,

My apologies for the mistake. In your Selector, you need to include the "BiddingStrategyType" and "TargetCpa" campaign fields. When processing the results, you may then provide a condition to filter only those bidding strategies that are of type TARGET_CPA, if you have strategies aside from the one I mentioned.

Using Java, I was able to extract the information by using the code snippet below :

if (campaign.getBiddingStrategyConfiguration().getBiddingStrategyType().toString().equals("TARGET_CPA")) {
           
            BiddingScheme biddingScheme = campaign.getBiddingStrategyConfiguration().getBiddingScheme();
            TargetCpaBiddingScheme targetCPAScheme = (TargetCpaBiddingScheme) biddingScheme;
            String targetCpaValue = targetCPAScheme.getTargetCpa().toString();
            
            System.out.printf("Campaign with name '%s' and ID %d and targetCpa '%s' was found.%n", campaign.getName(),
                campaign.getId(), targetCpaValue);
            
          }

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

i have the same issue

after use the code, i always get instance no attribute 'getBiddingStrategyConfiguration'

i use python

more_pages = True
while more_pages:
    page = service.get(selector)


    # Display results
    if 'entries' in page:
        for campaign in page['entries']:

                print('Campaign with id "%s", name "%s", and status "%s" was '
                      'found, url "%s".' % (campaign['id'], campaign['name'], campaign['status']))

            if campaign.getBiddingStrategyConfiguration():
                print('in')
    else:
        print ('No campaigns were found')
    offset += PAGE_SIZE
    selector['paging']['startIndex'] = str(offset)
    more_pages = offset < int(page['totalNumEntries'])

response

Campaign instance has no attribute 'getBiddingStrategyConfiguration'

thanks

Hi,

Your issue appears to be more related to the Python client library. Also, we currently have no sample codes or documentation that demonstrates how the field is retrieved using Python. You may try and contact the library owners via this link for further assistance.

Thanks and regards,
