I am playing with Bid Landscapes
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bid-landscapes>, and
as the official documentation describes:
Bid landscapes are a way for you to research information about estimated
performance for your ad groups and criteria.
I am testing the API in AdGroup level, and the following piece of code has
been written:
public function test_bid_simulator() {
$user = new AdWordsUser();
$user->SetClientCustomerId('*******');
$dataService = $user->GetService('DataService', 'v201509');
$selector = new Selector();
$selector->fields = array('AdGroupId', 'StartDate', 'EndDate',
'Bid', 'LocalClicks', 'LocalCost', 'LocalImpressions');
// Create predicates.
$selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('CampaignId', 'IN', array('****',
'****', '****', '****'));
// $selector->dateRange = new DateRange();
// $selector->dateRange->min = date('Ymd', strtotime('2016/01/28'));
// $selector->dateRange->max = date('Ymd', strtotime('2016/02/03'));
do {
// Make the getAdGroupBidLandscape request.
$page = $dataService->getAdGroupBidLandscape($selector);
// Display results.
if (isset($page->entries)) {
foreach ($page->entries as $bidLandscape) {
printf("Found adgroup bid landscape with id '%s' for start "
. "date '%s', end date '%s', and landscape points:\n",
$bidLandscape->adGroupId,
$bidLandscape->startDate,
$bidLandscape->endDate);
foreach ($bidLandscape->landscapePoints as $bidLandscapePoint) {
printf(" bid: %.0f => clicks: %d, cost: %.0f, impressions:
%d\n",
$bidLandscapePoint->bid->microAmount,
$bidLandscapePoint->clicks,
$bidLandscapePoint->cost->microAmount,
$bidLandscapePoint->impressions);
}
print "\n";
}
}
// Advance the paging index.
$selector->paging->startIndex +=
AdWordsConstants::RECOMMENDED_PAGE_SIZE;
} while (isset($page->entries) && count($page->entries) > 0);
if ($selector->paging->startIndex === 0) {
print "No adgroup bid landscapes were found.\n";
}}
This code works fine, and the output is similar to:
Found adgroup bid landscape with id '****' for start date '20160131', end
date '20160206', and landscape points:
bid: 60000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 38
bid: 110000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 70
bid: 150000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 97
bid: 210000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 116
bid: 280000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 126
bid: 470000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 136
Found adgroup bid landscape with id '****' for start date '20160131', end date
'20160206', and landscape points:
bid: 20000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 16
bid: 40000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 89
bid: 60000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 138
bid: 100000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 183
bid: 160000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 218
bid: 240000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 234
bid: 390000 => clicks: 0, cost: 0, impressions: 256
etc.
By default, the API always picks up the previous week range ending two days
from now. For instance, if today is 2016/02/08, the API will get the range
between 2016/01/31 and 2016/02/06. My problem is how to set the specific
date range in the code. I have commented out this part
// $selector->dateRange = new DateRange();// $selector->dateRange->min =
date('Ymd', strtotime('2016/01/01'));// $selector->dateRange->max = date('Ymd',
strtotime('2016/01/31'));
because it doesn't work. If I uncomment this part, the code won't give me
any results. Any knowledge of how to set a date range for the bid
landscapes in Adwords API?
