Change keyword bids bases on position in v201409

[Filip Holmberg]

Is it possible to update keywords bids individually in v201409? I got it to work on AdGroup level but some post and docs mention that it is not possible on a keyword level. 

We would like to adjust bids based on their position. What's the best api approach to handle this. This is handled manually from the UI and "Automate" menu at the moment.

Thanks in advance,

Filip

Hello Filip,

This is exactly the approach.

$CriteriaService = $TestApi->getUser()->GetService('AdGroupCriterionService');

foreach($keywordTest as $keyword)
{
    $adGroupCriterion            = new \BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
    $adGroupCriterion->adGroupId = $keyword['adgroupID'];
    $adGroupCriterion->criterion = new \Criterion($keyword['keywordID']);

    $bid      = new \CpcBid();
    $bid->bid = new \Money(2.34 * \AdWordsConstants::MICROS_PER_DOLLAR);

    $biddingStrategyConfiguration         = new \BiddingStrategyConfiguration();
    $biddingStrategyConfiguration->bids[] = $bid;

    $adGroupCriterion->biddingStrategyConfiguration = $biddingStrategyConfiguration;

    $operation           = new \AdGroupCriterionOperation();
    $operation->operand  = $adGroupCriterion;
    $operation->operator = 'SET';

    array_push($operations, $operation);
}
$CriteriaService->mutate($operations);

Okey, so I got keyword bids changed individually(executed as a grouped mutate of course) by setting a individual biddingStrategyConfiguration. Might this be the best way or am I missing something here? 

$keywordTest = [
    ['keywordID' => 'XXXXXXXX', 'adgroupID' => 'XXXXXXXXXX'],
    ['keywordID' => 'XXXXXXXX', 'adgroupID' => 'XXXXXXXXXX'],
];

$TestApi = new Api(true);
$TestApi->getUser()->SetClientCustomerId('XXX-XXX-XXXX');

$CriteriaService = $TestApi->getUser()->GetService('AdGroupCriterionService');

$operations = array();
foreach($keywordTest as $keyword)
{
    $adGroupCriterion            = new \BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
    $adGroupCriterion->adGroupId = $keyword['adgroupID'];
    $adGroupCriterion->criterion = new \Criterion($keyword['keywordID']);

    $bid      = new \CpcBid();
    $bid->bid = new \Money(2.34 * \AdWordsConstants::MICROS_PER_DOLLAR);

    $biddingStrategyConfiguration         = new \BiddingStrategyConfiguration();
    $biddingStrategyConfiguration->bids[] = $bid;

    $adGroupCriterion->biddingStrategyConfiguration = $biddingStrategyConfiguration;

    $operation           = new \AdGroupCriterionOperation();
    $operation->operand  = $adGroupCriterion;
    $operation->operator = 'SET';

    array_push($operations, $operation);
}
$CriteriaService->mutate($operations);
