How To get Country,Zipcode,postalcode,State and DMA code from geo_criteria_id

[Veera Reddy]

Hi,

We are trying to get Country,Zipcode,postalcode,State and DMA code from geo_criteria_id(which comes from BidRequest). As per the documentation, We can retrieve from canonical hierarchy but we were not able to get the Zipcode and DMA(metro code) code from that file and here is the link to download the file which we are using.

Thanks!!

Hi,

The DMA regions can be found here:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/cities-DMAregions

Regarding zip codes/postal codes, I'm not aware of a service that will provide the corresponding zip codes for those locations.  The closest functionality we have is the GeoLocationService, which will return a GeoLocation with an address.  However, in order to request that information you need to have a partial address or GeoPoint.

Could you provide more details on your use case?  Maybe we can come up with a suitable alternative.

Thanks,
