The new Google Ads API
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start> has addressed
this issue. The UserInterestService
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v2.services#google.ads.googleads.v2.services.UserInterestService>
implements
an additional availability
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v2.common#google.ads.googleads.v2.common.CriterionCategoryAvailability>
attribute to surface which user interests can be used in a given context.
For example, running a GAQL query of
SELECT user_interest.name, user_interest.availabilities,
user_interest.taxonomy_type,
user_interest.user_interest_parent
FROM user_interest
WHERE user_interest.taxonomy_type IN ('AFFINITY', 'IN_MARKET')
will return
{
"userInterest": {
"resourceName": "customers/7502950076/userInterests/80001",
"taxonomyType": "IN_MARKET",
"name": "Autos & Vehicles",
"availabilities": [
{
"channel": {
"availabilityMode": "CHANNEL_TYPE_AND_ALL_SUBTYPES",
"advertisingChannelType": "SEARCH",
"includeDefaultChannelSubType": true
},
"locale": [
{
"availabilityMode": "LANGUAGE_AND_ALL_COUNTRIES",
"languageCode": "ar"
},
{
"availabilityMode": "LANGUAGE_AND_ALL_COUNTRIES",
"languageCode": "bg"
},
{
"availabilityMode": "LANGUAGE_AND_ALL_COUNTRIES",
"languageCode": "ca"
...
{
"userInterest": {
"resourceName": "customers/7502950076/userInterests/80006",
"taxonomyType": "IN_MARKET",
"name": "Motorcycles",
"userInterestParent": "customers/7502950076/userInterests/80171",
"availabilities": [
{
"channel": {
"availabilityMode": "CHANNEL_TYPE_AND_ALL_SUBTYPES",
"advertisingChannelType": "SEARCH",
"includeDefaultChannelSubType": true
},
"locale": [
{
"availabilityMode": "LANGUAGE_AND_ALL_COUNTRIES",
"languageCode": "ar"
},
{
"availabilityMode": "LANGUAGE_AND_ALL_COUNTRIES",
"languageCode": "cs"
}
