Attribute provided with no value: url at main

[reid hommedahl]

Hi there,

I'm writing a final URL checking script for broken landing pages. It's not letting me log the final URLs and the error I'm getting when I preview it is:

Exception: Attribute provided with no value: URL at main (Final URL Check:15:34)

function main() {

    // log if the function is called
    Logger.log("checkAdLandingPages() function called");
   
    // Get all the active ads in the account
    var adIterator = AdsApp.ads().withCondition("Status = ENABLED").get();

    while (adIterator.hasNext()) {
      var ad = adIterator.next();
      var adURL = ad.urls().getFinalUrl();
      Logger.log(adURL);

      // Use the UrlFetch service to check the HTTP status code of the ad's landing page
      var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(adURL);
      var statusCode = response.getResponseCode();

      // Logs the url and status code
      Logger.log("Ad URL: " + adURL + ", Status code: " + statusCode);
   
      // If the status code is not 200, send an email notification
      if (statusCode != 200) {
        sendNotification(ad.getId(), adURL);
      }
    }

  // Sends an email notification with the specified subject and body
  function sendNotification(subject, body) {
    // Replace 'YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS' with your actual email address
    var recipient = "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS";

    var subject = "Non-404 status code found for ad ID: " + subject;
    MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, subject, body);
  }
}

Can someone please explain to me why the final URLs are null? I have 28 active and approved responsive search ads in the account that all have final URLS. The error seems to be coming from this line:

var adURL = ad.urls().getFinalUrl();

Thank you

Hi there,

 

Thank you for looking at my script. I added a line to only search for responsive search ads, which solved the issue.

Hello,

Based on my checking, I can see that your ad with a name of “300x250 Wake up” doesn’t have a final URL, see screenshots attached, which is the main reason why you’re getting the said error upon executing your script.

Having said that, I strongly recommend double checking the ads in your account and make sure that you have provided its appropriate Final URL in order to avoid no value error message.
