[SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_VALUE @ serviceSelector; errorDetails:]

[Peter Stannett]

HI all

I'm trying to run the GetAllAds.php example in version V201101 and I
get [SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_VALUE @ serviceSelector;
errorDetails:] error

I have $adGroupId=(float) commented out as I want to retrieve all ads.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Peter

It's ok! Everyone sit back down! I realised I had to amend $adGroupIdPredicate to lose the array($adgroupId) and change the $selector->predicates=array($statusPredicate) and lose the $adGroupId variable.

At least, I think that's what I had to do. It's worked anyway!

However I am trying to download all the ads into a csv and I am having difficulty implementing the report service. Could someone explain firstly how I get to print out all the ads onto the screen (at the moment I have just Ad with id xxxx etc showing, not the headline etc that I have chosen as my selector fields) and secondly how I implement the Add report definition. 

Many thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

  In the foreach loop over $page->entries you should be able to do an instanceof to verify that the result is a TextAd and then pull out the headline like this: $adGroupAd->ad->headline

HI Kevin

Thanks for the info, though I'm not too sure what you mean?

I apologise but my php knowledge is quite limited at the moment! Could you elaborate further? I would appreciate it. 

Thanks

Peter

Hi Peter,

  The GetGeoLocationInfo code example demonstrates what I was talking about:

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#Fu0vUbQ37f4/trunk/examples/v201101/GetGeoLocationInfo.php&q=instanceof%20package:http://google-api-adwords-php%5C.googlecode%5C.com&sa=N&cd=2&ct=rc

The code examples have lots of useful tips and tricks about using the API.  They are a great resource for someone new.
