Creating expandable ads with v201605 version

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi, 
As Josh stated in this announcement [Google Ads Developer Blog] Announcing 
v201607 of the AdWords API 

"creation of ExpandedTextAds 

 was 
only supported in test accounts 
."
 
Does this mean that we can only create Expanded text ads using v201607? 
Because we managed to create them using v201605 .net drivers version (we 
are not using test Account)

Re: Why Batchjob download url is null?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Were we misusing api? Or this is an error on your side? Because we have 
more than one batch job with this case thus we need  long term solution for 
this. Manually generating download url won't help us much in a long run.

Why Batchjob download url is null?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi, 
Batchjob status is done but download url is null. Why could be it like this?
selector looks like this:
fields = new string[]
{
BatchJob.SelectableFields.Id,
BatchJob.SelectableFields.Status,
BatchJob.SelectableFields.DownloadUrl,
BatchJob.SelectableFields.ProgressStats,
BatchJob.SelectableFields.ProcessingErrors
}

Why around 10% of all batch jobs fails with "Unknown reason"?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi, 
As you can see in the title around 10 % of our batchobs returns this:
{
"CustomerId" : "XX",
"GoogleBatchJobId" : NumberLong(322307760),
"CreationDate" : ISODate("2016-07-07T14:26:34.438Z"),
"JobStatus" : "Failed",
"LastStatusCheck" : ISODate("2016-07-07T14:31:07.655Z"),
"RetryCount" : 3,
"Reason" : "Status Error.Unknown reason"
}

What could cause this? maybe someone from support could help investigate 
this?

How to get keywords/ads count per adgroup?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi,

lets say I a customer that has 20 000 adgroups, I want to get keywords and 
ads for theses adgroups. I can only get this data in chunks because of the 
limits. How to get count of entities in one api request? response should 
return the following info:

adgroup: 1 has 20 ads and 50 keywords, 
adgroup: 2 has 56 ads and 81 keywords, 
etc.

What would be the most elegant way to achieve this?

by the way I'm using .net client library.

thanks.

Why batcjob status is set to canceled when sending AdGroupExtensionSettingOperations through BatchJobService?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi,
I'm sending a list of AdGroupExtensionSettingOperation items 
through BatchJobService. The status of batch job is set to canceled on 
Adwords side despite the fact that when I send the same operations through 
 AdGroupExtensionSettingService mutate method everything works fine. What 
could be the problem?

Re: How to edit an ad through adwords api in a correct way?

[Justinas Ringaila]

It looks like you stated it on on the contrary on the first post. Anyway. 
Lets stick to scenario that it is necessary to remove ad there is no way to 
update it except the status.

What I meant by saying "loose any kind of data" that when getting ads I 
need to set which fields should be returned like:
 fields = new string[]
{
AdGroupAd.Fields.Status, 
TextAd.Fields.Headline,
TextAd.Fields.Description1, TextAd.Fields.Description2, 
TextAd.Fields.DisplayUrl, TextAd.Fields.CreativeTrackingUrlTemplate
},

How to edit an ad through adwords api in a correct way?

[Justinas Ringaila]

Hi,
I'm trying to edit ad. According to your documentation 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201601/AdGroupAdService.Ad
 
it is not possible to do so.
As it was stated there I need to remove the ad and add new one

Despite the fact I tried to do it in this way;
AdGroupAd textAdGroupAd = new AdGroupAd();
textAdGroupAd.adGroupId = adGroupId; //Id of existing ad group
textAdGroupAd.ad = textAd; //Id of  existing ad that I want to 
be altered

// Create the operation.
AdGroupAdOperation operation = new AdGroupAdOperation();
operation.@operator = Operator.SET;
operation.operand = textAdGroupAd;

And actually it was a success. In history I see that the ad was removed and 
added a new one. As I understood the removal process was made under the 
hood.
Is it ok to do so? Or I'm misusing the API?
