Hi seb,
Thanks for sending more details to me privately. I noticed in your code
that you are setting the adAsImage
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupAdService.TemplateAd#adAsImage>
field,
and that's the only place where you use an *Image* object. However, I'm
pretty sure that the *adAsImage* field is being ignored since that field is
meant to provide you a preview of the ad in image form, and that preview
for template ID 455 is simply based on the other fields in the ad that
identify your app.
Does the image you provided actually appear on the ad in the AdWords user
interface?
Now to the other questions you sent over:
- What would happen if I use this method to create 500 ads when they all
use the same image?
- Per the above, I don't think you actually need to specify the image
for this template, but please let me know if you see otherwise.
- In general, if you are creating a large # of similar ads (e.g., all
for the same app), you can use the originAdId
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupAdService.TemplateAd#originAdId>
to
specify an existing ad to copy from. You'll still have to supply some
required fields in the new *TemplateAd*. Based on experimentation, it
looks like the minimal set of fields is: *name, displayUrl, finalUrls*
- Is there a way to upload the image only once via any other method
(such as with the MediaServiceInterface) and reuse it?
- You can upload images (but not audio or video) using
MediaService.upload
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/MediaService#upload>,
then you should be able to use the resulting Media.mediaId
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/MediaService.Image#mediaId>
value
when creating other TemplateAds. Note that this *will not work* for
creating ImageAd
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupAdService.ImageAd>
s.
- Is it possible to upload ads in a bulk via AdWords Editor?
- Unfortunately, I'm not an AdWords Editor expert. You may want to post
this question to the AdWords Community
<https://www.en.adwords-community.com/#> to see if the (non-API)
product experts there have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team
