Checking param values

[Ryan Jones]

Is there any way to check if a keyword already has a ad parameters set? I wanted to speed up a script by updating params only when necessary (ie if they differ from those currently being used); I know how to check the current value of a param, but the script breaks if it encounters a new keyword that's not previously had the param set.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I did not try but maybe you could use the adParams() method of a Keyword object to check whether it has ad params or not:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/reference/adwordsapp_keyword#adParams_0

I am thinking about something like:

yourkeywordresult.adParams.get().totalNumEntities() > 0

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
