Re: BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT: Field "type" can have "--" ?!

Hi Zweitze,

Following up to let you know that Bid Strategy IDs are only guaranteed to be 
unique at the customer level. So globally two bidding strategies may share an 
ID, but a single Customer cannot have two bidding strategies with the same ID.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Ben, Google Ads API Team

Hi Zweitze,

Thanks for this information, I'l share it with my team and make the appropriate 
documentation changes.

Meanwhile I'm checking on the global uniqueness for bid strategy IDs and will 
let you know once I have more information.

Re: BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT: Field "type" can have "--" ?!

[Zweitze]

Here we go:

PageOnePromotedBidModifier is documented as "Double" but you get "%" in its 
value. Note that fields like Ctr and ConversionRate do document that a 
percent sign will be returned. The same issue goes for TargetOutrankShare 
and TargetRoas: you get a percent sign in the result.

PageOnePromotedBidChangesForRaisesOnly, 
PageOnePromotedRaiseBidWhenBudgetConstrained, 
PageOnePromotedRaiseBidWhenLowQualityScore, 
TargetOutrankShareBidChangesForRaisesOnly and 
TargetOutrankShareRaiseBidWhenLowQualityScore are all Enums their possible 
values are documented, for use in a predicate or as expected return value. 
For all these fields, the return value "--" is not documented. (I don't 
know counter value to pass in a predicate, I have no need to do so.)

PageOnePromotedStrategyGoal is of type StrategyGoal, which is a type for 
use with the BiddingStrategy service. It wouldn't hurt to include a link to 
StrategyGoal 

 
in the documentation of this report field... Anyway that reference lists 
two possible values. But... you never get any of these values! So far I 
found three different values, being "--", "First page", and "Top of page".

Hi Zweitze,

Feel free to share any errors you find in the documentation so I can bring it 
to the attention of my team.

In terms of the Bid Strategy ID, I will have my team look into it internally 
and let you know.

Re: BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT: Field "type" can have "--" ?!

[Zweitze]

Thank you!
So the docs of that report were not updated after the change. That makes 
sense as I found some errors on those docs myself - let me know if you're 
interested.

On a somewhat related note, what is the scope of uniqueness of a 
BidStrategy ID? It's missing in the docs on Object ID Uniqueness 

.

Thanks!

Hi Zweitze,

Thank you for reaching out. As explained in this blog post, Target impression 
share bidding strategy type is not supported in AdWords API so it is expected 
that you would get a "--" response for the bidding strategy and other 
associated attributes for that bid goal.

BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT: Field "type" can have "--" ?!

[Zweitze]

Hi all,

I'm working on on the BID-GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, and certain records 
return "--" for type. Field type is an ENUM, and the documentation lists 
values like UNKNOWN and NONE, but not "--". Is the documentation 
incomplete, or is the API misbehaving?

For reproduction, this is a sample request with AdWords API:


   https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809;>
   Id
   Type
   Status
   PageOnePromotedBidCeiling
   PageOnePromotedBidChangesForRaisesOnly
   PageOnePromotedBidModifier
   PageOnePromotedRaiseBidWhenBudgetConstrained
   PageOnePromotedRaiseBidWhenLowQualityScore
   PageOnePromotedStrategyGoal
   TargetCpa
   TargetCpaMaxCpcBidCeiling
   TargetCpaMaxCpcBidFloor
   TargetOutrankShare
   TargetOutrankShareBidChangesForRaisesOnly
   TargetOutrankShareCompetitorDomain
   TargetOutrankShareMaxCpcBidCeiling
   TargetOutrankShareRaiseBidWhenLowQualityScore
   TargetRoas
   TargetRoasBidCeiling
   TargetRoasBidFloor
   TargetSpendBidCeiling
   TargetSpendSpendTarget
   
   Status
   IN
   ENABLED
   REMOVED
   
   
   https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809;>BidStrategyInfo
   https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809;>BID_GOAL_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
   https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809;>ALL_TIME
   https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809;>GZIPPED_XML


The result contains the following record:



This was issued against account 892-838-420. No worries if it is publicly 
known, we use it for testing.

If you look in Google Ads web UI, you will notice those bid strategies are 
of type "Target Impression share", so assume that Type should have 
contained "Target search page location". Can anyone confirm this?
Also note that in the records above, almost all fields contain "--", 
including fields that should have had values, like 
PageOnePromotedStrategyGoal (in XML listed as 
locationTargetSearchPageLocation). Why doesn't it contain the value we see 
in the UI?

Thanks!
