Re: Migration to Google Ads API - Get list of all accounts under MCC

[Marcel Zemp]

The query now runs, but I'm not sure what I'm getting back. According to 
the documentation for SearchGoogleAdsResponse 
,
 
I should get a list of results back. Instead I get

AttributeError: 'GRPCIterator' object has no attribute 'results'

Also the total_results_count & field_mask do not seem to exist:

AttributeError: 'GRPCIterator' object has no attribute 'total_results_count'
AttributeError: 'GRPCIterator' object has no attribute 'field_mask'

For the next_page_token I get the value "None" - the only field I am not 
getting an error.

Not clear what is going wrong. How would I go about to see what I'm getting 
back in this rather opaque SearchGoogleAdsResponse object? It is certainly 
not as transparent as a simple JSON object where I can quickly check what 
I'm getting back.

Also, how does pagination with the Python library work? I could not find 
anything about this in the documentation or the examples so far.

If I try the "Get Keyword Stats 
"
 
example, I get an error in case the ID is of the root manager account (ok - 
understandable) but if I use a client account ID I get:

"User doesn't have permission to access customer.".

But with the old AdWords API I can pull data for this account. So is there 
some additional permission needed? What else could go wrong?

Also the various concepts are not very clear: All over you talk about 
customers, clients and/or accounts - which seem to me like they all are the 
same object. Are you just not very precise here or what is exactly the 
difference? Is this documented somewhere?

Re: Migration to Google Ads API - Get list of all accounts under MCC

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Anthony

Thanks for getting back. I've tried the CustomerClientService with Python

service = client.get_service('CustomerClientService')
query = ('SELECT customer_client.resource_name,'
'customer_client.client_customer,'
'customer_client.level, customer_client.hidden,'
'customer_client.level'
'FROM customer_client');
response = service.search(root_account_id, query=query, page_size=100)

Where root_account_id is the ID of the root level MCC account. But I get

AttributeError: 'CustomerClientServiceClient' object has no attribute 
'search'

Is this the right service? If not, what service should be used?

Regards Marcel

Migration to Google Ads API - Get list of all accounts under MCC

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi

We're in the process of migrating from AdWords API to the new Google Ads 
API. Our Python tool currently loops over all accounts under the MCC root 
account and downloads various reports for all accounts on a daily basis.

>From what I understand, we also have to place calls for each account again 
with the Google Ads API. Therefore, we also need to know all accounts under 
the root level MCC account, but I'm already struggling with this.

In the AdWords API we would do something like this: I would use 
ManagedCustomerService.get(selector) with an appropriate selector and then 
loop over the pages (see also here 
)
 
to get all accounts under the root MCC.

How would I do this with the new Google Ads API? The Python examples 
 do not (yet) show how to 
do this. Or is there a better way to pull reports over all accounts, which 
are not managed accounts?

FYI: Credentials & token are working (we're using the same tokens as before 
for AdWords [see here 
]) 
and I can successfully pull the accessible customers 
via customer_service.list_accessible_customers().

Feature Request: New DateRange Types THIS_YEAR & LAST_YEAR

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi

It would be very convenient to also have THIS_YEAR & LAST_YEAR as valid 
date range types available. This would be analogue to THIS_MONTH & 
LAST_MONTH.

Thanks for considering!

Re: CampaignGroup ID scope of uniqueness

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Vincent

Thanks for your feedback. What is then the reason why you do not 
provide the ExternalCustomerId in the Campaign Group Performance Report? 
Having this field available directly in the report would be much easier and 
convenient than enriching the data in a post-processing step. In other 
reports, the ExternalCustomerId is also available. So I don't see a reason 
why this should not be possible.

Please consider making the ExternalCustomerId available in the Campaign 
Group Performance Report. Thanks!

Ciao Marcel

Re: CampaignGroup ID scope of uniqueness

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Vincent

I was thinking about this again. In the Campaign Group Performance Report 
,
 
the account ID (or ExternalCustomerId in API nomenclature *) is currently 
not available. I would interpret this that the campaign group ID is 
globally unique and not just within an account as you've stated earlier. If 
not, you should quickly make the account ID in that report available as 
well. Else there is no way to distinguish campaign groups between different 
accounts.

Ciao Marcel

* Your nomenclature is quite confusing sometimes: You talk of accounts in 
the GUI (e.g. account ID), in the API it is called ExternalCustomerId and 
the header of the report file says "Customer ID". What is that object 
called now? Account, external customer or customer?

Re: Average Position 0.0

[Marcel Zemp]

Indeed it looks like an inconsistent handling of the case "not applicable". 
Excerpt from the AdWords forum thread 

:

"For the Shopping case I agree and this is what I assumed as well. But in 
such a situation the report (pulled via API) should return "not 
applicable", i.e. n/a, NULL, or "--" (two dashes 
) 
as for other fields in the report. This is not a proper handling the "not 
applicable" case.

I also see Average Position = 0.0 for Search and Display campaigns. In 
those cases it always seems that the impressions = 0 but clicks > 0. So are 
these "just" data inconsistencies? Having clicks but no impressions and no 
average position in Search does not sound very reasonable to me."

I think 0.0 for average position is just the default value for the case 
"not applicable" for a numeric value on your side. Can you confirm this? 
Because then I can handle it properly again on our side in the database and 
convert the 0.0 values to NULL.

Are there other fields that have such a special "not applicable" case 
handling? Because for string fields it seems the reports always return "--" 
(two dashes) as per documentation 
. 
If this is the case, the documentation should probably expanded in order to 
cover this case as well.

Re: Average Position 0.0

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi all

I see this in various types of campaigns: Search, Display and Shopping 
(Advertising Channel Type). But the main effect I see for Shopping 
campaigns.

If it would not make sense for a certain type (e.g. Shopping) should the 
API then not rather give back a NULL or "not applicable" value, i.e. "--" 
as it does for other fields?

Though, because it appears in all types of campaigns, it looks to me like a 
data quality issue plus a wrong "not applicable" data handling.

In addition, I've also posted this in the AdWords Forum (see here 

).

Average Position 0.0

[Marcel Zemp]

What is the correct interpretation of having an average position of 0.0 
even though Impressions > 0? Such records show up in 
an AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT in my case.

Re: CampaignGroup ID scope of uniqueness

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Bharani

Now I'm a bit confused. If the pair (Account ID, CampaignGroup ID) "may or 
may not be globally unique" but "the CampaignGroupId is unique at the 
account level", this would imply that the Account ID is not globally 
unique. How could that be? Can you be a bit more precise here?

Thanks for adding and clarifying this in the documentation as soon as 
possible as well. This is very important and should certainly part of a 
good documentation.

Regards Marcel

Re: CampaignGroup ID scope of uniqueness

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Bharani

Thanks for your answer. Just to be clear: you say that the (Account ID, 
CampaignGroup ID) pair is globally unique?

It would be good if you guys can update the documentation accordingly.

Regards Marcel

CampaignGroup ID scope of uniqueness

[Marcel Zemp]

What is the scope of uniqueness of the CampaignGroup ID? Is the scope also 
global, i.e. the CampaignGroup ID is globally unique?

The documentation here 

 
does unfortunately not specify it. This should probably be updated.

Re: Report data from multiple accounts

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi Bharani

Thanks for your input. Parallel download is certainly useful. But this 
still leaves me with 1 file per customer_id which I have to join together 
since I don't wanna deal with dozens or hundreds of files.

Other platforms (e.g. DoubleClick) have the functionality to run reports 
for several accounts in one report out-of-the-box and it would certainly 
come in handy for many of us if AdWords would provide this functionality as 
well.

Anyway, I'll try to use the parallel download for my implementation.

Report data from multiple accounts

[Marcel Zemp]

Hi

Is it still not possible to report data from multiple AdWords accounts at 
once (i.e with one single API call)? I've seen several older posts where it 
is recommended to loop over all account/customer IDs and then join the 
individual reports locally on my machine.

Thanks for your input (before I invest a lot of time constructing such a 
solution).

Regards Marcel
