Re: API Recommendations Don't Match Ads Console

[Scott Vaillancourt]

The console I'm referring to is the account-specific Overview page at 
ads.google.com, not the reporting UI. Specifically, the recommendations 
cards don't match what I'm able to retrieve via the API.

PERMISSION_DENIED

[Паша Карпинский]

Hello Team,

I'm trying to retrive list of accounts (hierarhy of customers) from google 
ads but receive error on request:
"message": "The caller does not have permission",
"code": 7,
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
"details": [
{
"@type": "google.ads.googleads.v6.errors.googleadsfailure-bin",
"data": ""
},
{
"@type": "grpc-status-details-bin",
"data": ""
},
{
"@type": "request-id",
"data": "s8s0RCFzVEtXONYgQQd8Cw"
}
]

I went through auth process under Manager account and receive access token.
This account has many accounts.
When I call listAccessibleCustomers 

 it 
returns ID of current manager account for what I received access token.
When I call getCustomer 

 
to receive info about customer with ID that received from 
listAccessibleCustomers 

 it 
returns error above.

Please advice

Thank you

Test Accounts Cancelled

[Dorian Kind]

Hi,

we have a Google Ads test manager acccount containing a couple of test 
accounts that we use for integration testing. Around two weeks ago, all of 
those accounts were cancelled, seemingly without any notice being sent to 
the account admin.
What's more, in contrast to regular Ads accounts that can be reactivated if 
they are cancelled for lack of spend, this doesn't appear to be an option 
in this case.
Is there anything we can do to un-suspend these accounts? Or at least 
understand why they were cancelled in the first place?

Thanks & Cheers

Replicating the "Placement" field

[the...@funnel.io]

Hi,
We're working on trying to replicate the "Placements" view with the Google 
Ads API. We've noticed that the dimension "Placement" in the UI seems to be 
split among several different dimensions in the API.

• What is the complete list of dimensions we need to bring in from the API 
to cover all possible "Placement" values?

• Is there a way to get placement by youtube channel names? The only values 
for Youtube channel placements we've gotten was from 
"ad_group_criterion.youtube_channel.channel_id".

Re: Newbie issue with PHP v6 library

[Tim Relton]

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.  Sadly this happens 100% of the time.

>From a terminal window on cPanel

$ cd google-ads-php
google-ads-php]$ php examples/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.php --customerId 
987-654-3210

also 

google-ads-php]$ php examples/BasicOperations/GetCampaigns.php --customerId 
9876543210 

gives me the same output api.log as sent (obviously with IDs changed).

For some reason I can't send a private reply.  Can you fix this so I can 
send over logs and Manager / Client IDs, keys etc?

Link between Developer Token and OAuth2

[Thomas Leclaire]

Hello! 

I'm currently reviewing some permissions in my company and I don't 
understand how the ads api was configured. 
In particular i'm trying to understand where is defined the link between 
oauth2 and the developer token. Is there some mapping only visible on 
Google side? 

In my case, the oauth identification is defined on a standard google 
project owned by an user who has no link with the MCC, therefore I don't 
understand how it can work. 

Moreover, my developer token is created on one MCC. but with the api we act 
on another MCC (which is not a child of the first one). How is it possible? 

Everything works today but it's pretty obscure why.

thanks for any explanation!
Thomas

RE: Getting users to authenticate

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your email and also to Alon for your input.

To answer Jonathan's concerns, you may refer below :

1. Do we only need to create a single developer token for multiple 
users/accounts?

A developer token can be shared internally. However, if multiple users will be 
utilizing the token, you may need to take note of the quotas and limits 
regarding usage as discussed in our rate sheet and rate limits guide.

2. And do we have to be the manager account for the user's account in order to 
read their Ads data via or is there a alternative way to ask their permission 
without being the manager account?

We only need to read the data, we don't need to manage their ads.

So ideally we'd like to be able to ask the user to grant us read access to 
their Google Ads data using an auth flow but not requiring them to let us be 
managers of their account.

Being a MCC level user is not required if you would only be making read 
requests on specific accounts. What you will need to do, is add a user/email 
address into those Google Ads accounts you will be generating reports for. Then 
you will need to generate your own set of OAuth2 credentials. User access 
levels can also be managed as discussed in this article. The access level 
granted for those users should also be the level of access you can be permitted 
for your API requests.

However, developer token usage can also be modified as discussed here.

I hope this helps. If you have additional clarifications, please let me know.

Re: Get data table of a shopping campaign

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Gloria,

Thank you for your follow up.

Based in the screenshots you attached, it appears that the first one (Grupos de 
anuncios) is showing the Ad Group view in the UI. That said, you may refer 
below for the possible fields to use from the ad_group view of the API :

Tipo (Type) - ad_group.type
Presupuesto (Budget) - Since budgets are assigned at the campaign level, you 
can try to retrieve this through the campaign resource's 
campaign.campaign_budget field.
Nivel de optimizacion (Optimization level) - This does not appear to be 
supported in the API's fields.
Cpc Max predeterminado (Default Max CPC) - You may try and retrieve this using 
the ad_group.cpc_bid_micros field.
Coste (Cost) - metrics.cost_micros
Tasa de conversion (Conversion rate) - Could you confirm if the translation is 
correct? I asked because what is available in the AdWords API is the 
AllConversionRate field and the equivalent of this field in the Google Ads API 
is the metrics.all_conversions_from_interactions_rate field.

As for the second screenshot, the Grupos de productos or the Product groups 
view :

Tipo (Type) - This is not supported in the product_group_view. This maybe 
referring to the ad_group.type field
CPC Max - you can try and retrieve this from the ad_group resource 
ad_group.cpc_bid_micros field
CPC Max de referencia (Reference CPC Max) - Can you also confirm if the 
translation is correct? It appears that this field is not supported.

I also noticed two other red boxes, however, they are grayed out. Could you 
confirm if you are also seeking assistance with those as well?

Moving forward, you may refer to our metrics, segments, resources with metrics 
and resources without metrics guides (via this link) to know which fields are 
available in the Google Ads API's reports.

RE: Newbie issue with PHP v6 library

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for posting your concern.

The INTERNAL_ERROR usually occurs when something unexpected happened while 
processing the request such as a bug. However, retrying API request after some 
time will make it work.

However, if this error is occurring frequently, then please provide the 
customer ID and complete request and response logs with request ID to 
investigate. You can provide it via Reply privately to author option.

Re: calculation of (absolute_)top_impression_percentage

[fru...@adzlocal.de]

thanks a lot for your response!

The report with segmentation on network (web interface/mcc) shows the 
impressions belong to a single type of network only (search network).  
And i get the same result via api request (segmented by 
segments.ad_network_type, ads api v4) - only one network type.
So i don't think impressions on different networks are the reason for the 
different values, unfortunately.. was a promising approach.
But you're right, e.g. 7 impressions with 50% of them as absolute top (and 
50% top impressions) looks suspicious to me. 
3.5 impressions (non-integer) is not what i would expect here.


btw. that is my awql-query: 

SELECT
ad_group.id,
metrics.impressions,
metrics.absolute_top_impression_percentage,
segments.ad_network_type,
segments.date
FROM ad_group
WHERE ad_group.id IN ()
AND segments.date BETWEEN '2020-11-12' AND '2020-11-25'

The values with segments.date match the values for impressions and 
absolute_top_impression_percentage in my spreadsheet.
Without segmentation by date i get 108 impressions in total, but the total 
absolute_top_impression_percentage value doesn't match the calculated one..

>> day impressions absolute_top_impression_percentage 
>> impressions*absolute_top_impression_percentage
>> 20201125 7 50 350
>> 20201124 5 66.67 333.35

>> 20201120 31 50 1550
>> 20201119 9 66.67 600.03
>> 20201118 4 66.67 266.68
>> 20201117 13 87.5 1137.5

>> absolute_top_impression_percentage_14days
