Price extension automation via API - debugging

[Khrystyna Grynko]

Hi everyone,

Our developper is about to automate the price extension creation and update via API.

What should the account manager do in order to use it correctly in the account ?

How can we test that the price extensions data is delivered correctly ?

Thank you in advance for your reply

Hi Khrystyna, 

This guide describes how to create and manage Price Extensions using AdWords API along with a sample code snippet. Once you set up Price Extensions, you can track their performance using Placeholder report or Placeholder Feed Item report. The AddPrices Java example shows how to add a Price Extension and associate it with an account. Example code in other languages is provided here. You can use the Ad Preview tool in the UI to check if the Price Extensions are being served correctly. 

Regards,

Shwetha, AdWords API Team.

Hi, Shwetha
Reading Docs and References to API example we see only option to create price extension. Is it possible update prices let's say daily without making new extension? thanks

Hi Alexander,

I'm a colleague of Shwetha and I will be providing support for now. As for updating price extensions or any other types, you may refer to this section as to how. You will not be required to create new extensions as you will be able to use the SET operator on your extensions directly. I hope this has been helpful.

Thanks and regards,

TY, Peter. I will try. Anyway, it would be nice to have example in https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib example section...

Hi Alexander,

The example code in the guide can normally be applied to all extension types and would just require replacing the necessary objects. Code-wise, the update procedure should look similar for all extensions.

Feel free to write back to us if you have any further concerns.
