I'm using the TargetingIdeaService to get keyword suggestions for a given
web page. I'm not really interested in the match type, just the keyword
texts.
With v201109, I would filter on match type BROAD, and request CRITERION
attributes (I'm using the Java client library v8.7.0):
TargetingIdeaSelector selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
selector.setRequestType(RequestType.IDEAS);
selector.setIdeaType(IdeaType.KEYWORD);
selector.setSearchParameters(new SearchParameter[]{
new RelatedToUrlSearchParameter(null, new String[]{url},
false),
new KeywordMatchTypeSearchParameter(null, new
KeywordMatchType[]{KeywordMatchType.BROAD}),
new LanguageSearchParameter(null, new Language[]{new
Language(languageCriteria, null, null, null, null)}),
new LocationSearchParameter(null, new Location[]{new
Location(countryCriteria, null, null, null, null, null, null)})});
selector.setRequestedAttributeTypes(new
AttributeType[]{AttributeType.CRITERION});
selector.setPaging(new Paging(0, 20));
TargetingIdeaServiceInterface targetingIdeaService =
adWordsServiceFactory.createTargetingIdeaService();
TargetingIdeaPage page = targetingIdeaService.get(selector);
List<String> keywords = new LinkedList<>();
if (page.getEntries() != null) {
for (TargetingIdea idea : page.getEntries()) {
CriterionAttribute value = (CriterionAttribute)
idea.getData()[0].getValue();
Keyword keyword = (Keyword) value.getValue();
keywords.add(keyword.getText());
}
}
return keywords;
With v201206, I can no longer filter on match type, and I have to request
attribute KEYWORD_TEXT instead of CRITERION. This would be fine for my use
case. However, I seem to be getting three of each keyword text. I assume
this is one for each match type (BROAD, EXACT, PHRASE). However, it doesn't
make much sense since I can't get information about the match type. In my
case, since I'm just interested in getting 20 keyword suggestions; I have
solved it by requesting 3 times as many results and then filtering out the
duplicates:
TargetingIdeaSelector selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();
selector.setRequestType(RequestType.IDEAS);
selector.setIdeaType(IdeaType.KEYWORD);
selector.setSearchParameters(new SearchParameter[]{
new RelatedToUrlSearchParameter(null, new String[]{url},
false),
new LanguageSearchParameter(null, new Language[]{new
Language(languageCriteria, null, null, null, null)}),
new LocationSearchParameter(null, new Location[]{new
Location(countryCriteria, null, null, null, null, null, null)})});
selector.setRequestedAttributeTypes(new
AttributeType[]{AttributeType.KEYWORD_TEXT});
selector.setPaging(new Paging(0, 60));
TargetingIdeaServiceInterface targetingIdeaService =
adWordsServiceFactory.createTargetingIdeaService();
TargetingIdeaPage page = targetingIdeaService.get(selector);
Set<String> keywords = new LinkedHashSet<>();
if (page.getEntries() != null) {
for (TargetingIdea idea : page.getEntries()) {
StringAttribute attribute = (StringAttribute)
idea.getData()[0].getValue();
keywords.add(attribute.getValue());
}
}
return keywords;
I this a bug in v201206, or am I missing something?
