Re: How can I sign up for Google Adwords API, I get an access denied message.

2011-02-15 Thread jmshinn

Hi Eric,

I'll admit that I haven't really plumbed the depths of either MCC or
regular AdWords services to see how they differ (I've just targeted
specifically what I want to accomplish for now), so it's fair if they
really are separate services (and I can even accept that there may be
a legitimate reason for them to share a login database that prevents
the same email address from signing up for both)... but coming in as a
new user, the account setup just feels really muddled.  It feels like
you either need to better delineate the respective roles of the two
services, or if you feel they are clearly delineated already, you need
to better communicate that to your new users.

Regardless, I'm glad you'll at least consider adding a dummy API
Center link, as I think that (or some better alternative that
shortcuts the wild goose chase some users including myself find
themselves on) is a first step towards better communication.

I do appreciate your responsiveness here on the list, it turns a lot
of what would otherwise be brick walls into minor speed bumps for a
lot of people.

 Hi Jason,

 I am in full agreement that it is confusing for some of our users, and
 we're working to make the API signup process easier.  Changing the UI
 to include a dummy AdWords API Center link is one option, and I'll
 bring it up for consideration.  MCC accounts provide a vast array of
 functionality beyond the API however, and it wouldn't be trivial (or
 even desired) to merge them with regular AdWords accounts.  The
 requirement of a new email address is somewhat frustrating I
 understand, but it's not that hard to fulfill (especially with the
 GMail plus syntax).  Additionally, many API users are already using
 MCC accounts in their business.

  You might at least consider adding an API center link to a normal

  why, and how to create an eligible account.  That would cut down on
  some of the confusion, even if it's not the ideal solution.

  The ideal solution being one of, in order of preference:
  a) if they're the same service, treat them as the same service: allow
  regular adwords users to add MCC functions and allow MCC accounts to
  have their own campaigns.
  b) if they're different services, treat them as different services:
  allow a single email address to sign up and function for both
  different kinds of accounts.

  Requiring users to have two separate email addresses to both have ads
  and use the API is extremely strange, as is requiring two separate
  email addresses to manage your own ads and manage the ads of others.
  Being a software developer, I understand that this might not be a
  priority now or ever, but it should be relatively easy to just put a
  link where people expect to find API info on regular accounts that
  tells them what's up.

 To be clear, the behavior around accounts is expected and is not a

 accounts are used to organize and manage groups of accounts, and can't

Hello. I've got a similar problem. I'd like to begin using an AdWords
API and obtain a developer token as it's required. But following
instructions contained in a help
center (https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/adwordsapi/bin/
answer.py?
hl=enanswer=15104) i've been trying to sign up throug my account tab,
and API center link. But in my personal account settings, i couldn't
find such tab. And furthermore, attempting to access through the
   https://adwords.google.com/select/ApiCenterurl, returned information
about too less level of permissions for my account and prompt to
contact with administrator (Access denied) .

It's all kind of weird because this is my only one address  using to
the commonly authorization in services like: gmail, adwords, analytics
etc. I have no idea what is the reason of such issue.  I'll be a
grateful for any kind of useful sugestions to fix and solve this
problem.

Best regards.

I just ran into this issue myself today.  You apparently have to make
a call to GetCampaignService first just to initialize your sandbox
account.  My understanding (though I haven't even gotten so far as
testing this latter part out) is that once you've done this you can
cut out the call and just move on as your account will  be set up.

?
// assumes $user is already set with new AdWordsUser()
$CampaignService = $user-GetCampaignService('v201008');
$CampaignSelector = new CampaignSelector();
$CampaignService-get($CampaignSelector); // this initializes your
sandbox account, you can ignore the result
?

 I am trying to use the sandbox first...

 My auth.ini:

 I have set the default server in the settings.ini per instructions for

 Please tell me what I'm missing here so I can get back on track.

Re: traffic estimator geotarget

In other words, you can't target a city when requesting search
volume.  You can only target a country and a language.  My
understanding is that this is equivalent to the adwords user
interface, is that correct?

Re: TargetingIdeaService v201008 with Custom Country Language

2011-01-17 Thread jmshinn

I'll admit that I'm just getting into this myself so I may be off
here, but:

   // Create language service.
   $languageService = new LanguageTarget();
   $languageService-languageCode='de';
   $languageService-TargetType='de';

First of all, you need to use LanguageTargetSearchParameter to create
the parameter for the TargetingIdeaService, and use your language
target that you've created in there:

$languageTargetSearchParameter = new LanguageTargetSearchParameter();
$languageTargetSearchParameter-languageTargets =
array($languageService);

   // Create country service.
   $countryService = new CountryTargetSearchParameter();
   $countryService-countryTargets='DE';

Second of all, the countryTargets property of the
CountryTargetSearchParameter doesn't take a string (like 'DE'), it
takes an array of CountryTargets:

$countryService-countryTargets = array(new CountryTarget('DE')); //
this should replace $countryService-countryTargets='DE';

... if you make those two changes, and make sure to change
$languageService to $languageTargetSearchParameter in the
searchParameters array, I believe that will get you where you want to
go.  Again, still new to this myself so there may be another
implementation error that I'm not aware of, but that should get you
started.
