Re: LocationCriterionService returns incomplete data in ParentLocations
Hi Kevin, Could you post the question on the Product forum in that case? Since the frontend and API pull data from same source, the issue should get fixed if it is addressed in the front end. The product forum url is https://www.en.adwords-community.com/t5/AdWords-Community/ct-p/AdWords Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.

But when I query LocationCriterionService to get hierarchy (ParentLocations) for Barcelona, it returned Catalona and Spain, thus skipping Province of Barcelona. Is this a bug? AdWords API enforces that when we target geo locations for campaigns, geo location targets must not overlapped. Without getting a complete hierarchy, we cannot enforce this rule on our side.

Re: What is DeduplicationMode meant for?
I only know of de-duplication mode in the context of view-through conversions. But then the values are wrong - it should be either Enabled or Disabled. At least, these are the values in the web interface. To look up de-duplication mode for view-through conversions in the web interface: ToolsAnalysis, Conversions. Now click on a single conversion IN THE LEFT PANE (below All conversion types). Then go to advanced.

Re: What is DeduplicationMode meant for?
Many thanks Zweitze for your help. I can now see where this mode is set. You're right, the current values of this field don't make sense. The concept of one-per and many-per is different from what adwords documentation say about the de-duplication mode. I guess this is one field I'll exclude from my reports!

Re: Request to get global monthly searches for 2 keywords but only get 1 back
Hi Eric, I have watched the full video on aw_api_php_lib_3.1.0. Nice job. I have downloaded the code library. But there is a lot of files which I don't need. I just need the Global Monthly Searches and Local Monthly Searches figure. Is there any way I can get them easily with few files (instead of the full library)? And is it possible getting bulk results? My Email ID is: pearlygatesc...@gmail.com Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestion.

On Keywords Perfomance Report valid value for Device
Sorry if this has been already asked! Downloading a *Keywords Performance Report*, with de column *Device*selected, one of the Campaigns has the value *Other*. The others values shown are *Computers* and *Tablets with full browsers*. The campaign with Other value is set only with the Devices options (on AdWords UI) on *Mobile devices with full browsers*. On https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#keywords, for the Device column/attribute, there are three avaiable values, which are: TABLET / Tablets with full browsers HIGH_END_MOBILE / Mobile devices with full browsers DESKTOP / Computers So my question is: what the value *Other* is supposed to mean? I add a fourth option (like OTHER / Other) on the list above, or Other is synonym of Mobile devices with full browsers?

Sporadic DUPLICATE_KEY errors when creating keywords using AdGroupCriterionService.mutate()
Starting on June 19, we started to see sporadic DUPLICATE_KEY errors from v201109 AdGroupCriterionService.mutate(). This is surprising on several levels: 1. We didn't change our production code on June 19, and we are definitely not sending duplicate keywords (our schema prevents it). 2. If we repost the attempt later (10 or 20 minutes for example) they usually post just fine, without the error. 3. Even though the overall mutate() call fails, the keywords often still show up in the AdWords UI but our system doesn't get a chance to see the ID. According to the AdGroupCriterionService documentationhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201109/AdGroupCriterionService, DUPLICATE_KEY is an error that the API experiences when inserting into the database. Does anyone have experience with this kind of error? (The API forum search for DUPLICATE_KEY returns no results.)
