Weather Forecast Script to Bid Modify Around Snow events

[Jonathan Riedel]

Hi there,  

im trying to customize a script based on weather events specifically snow, snowy days in the forecast and this script has rain as default so I modified what I thought should work but anyone have any script they already by chance made for snow? I found this section and think I just need to modify everything in red to be specific to snowy days, campaign ID and ad group ID. 

const nyWeather = getWeatherForecastForLocation("New York City, US");

let coldDays = 0;
for (const date in nyWeather.forecast) {
  const forecast = nyWeather.forecast[date];

  if (forecast.snow > 5 && forecast.temperature < 273) {
    coldDays = coldDays + 1;
  }
}

if (coldDays > 4) {
  const adGroup = AdsApp.adGroups()
      .withCondition("campaign.name = 'New York Shoes'")
      .withCondition("ad_group.name = 'Snow boots'")
      .get()
      .next();
  adGroup.bidding().setCpc(adGroup.bidding().getCpc() + 0.3);
}

Any insights, tips, help are all greatly appreciated.

The script is incomplete. Example where is this function you're referencing getWeatherForecastForLocation("New York City, US");

It should be fairly simple to import weather data into Google sheets and then have an Ads script change bids based on what it finds in the sheet

See e.g. https://mixedanalytics.com/knowledge-base/access-open-weather-api-data-in-google-sheets/
