Block IP address from Google adwords with their API - google-ads-api

Question

Does anyone know how to block certain IP addresses from our Google adwords account using the Google API?
In this article you can see how to do it manually, but I cannot find a way to do it programmatically.

Answer 1

I know it's late. But I needed it as well.
I found the IpBlock type on Google AdWords here.

Answer 2

Here is some sample code i found, and improved slightly
require_once this code, then make this call for each campaign u want to ban the IP for
YourNameSpace\BlockedIP::add($campaignId, $ip);
voila
<?php
/*
...
*/
namespace YourNameSpace;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsServices;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSession;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\AdWordsSessionBuilder;
use Google\AdsApi\Common\OAuth2TokenBuilder;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201802\cm\CampaignCriterionService;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201802\cm\IpBlock;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201802\cm\NegativeCampaignCriterion;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201802\cm\CampaignCriterionOperation;
use Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201802\cm\Operator;
class BlockedIP {
public static function runExample(AdWordsServices $adWordsServices,
AdWordsSession $session,
$campaignId,
$ip) {
$campaignCriterionService =
$adWordsServices->get($session, CampaignCriterionService::class);
$campaignCriteria = [];
// Add a negative campaign criterion.
$ipBlock = new IpBlock();
$ipBlock->setIpAddress($ip);
$negativeCriterion = new NegativeCampaignCriterion();
$negativeCriterion->setCampaignId($campaignId);
$negativeCriterion->setCriterion($ipBlock);
$operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operation->setOperand($negativeCriterion);
$operations[] = $operation;
$result = $campaignCriterionService->mutate($operations);
// Print out some information about added campaign criteria.
foreach ($result->getValue() as $campaignCriterion) {
printf(
"Campaign targeting criterion with ID %d and type '%s' was added.\n",
$campaignCriterion->getCriterion()->getId(),
$campaignCriterion->getCriterion()->getType());
}
}
public static function add($campaignId, $ip) {
// Generate a refreshable OAuth2 credential for authentication.
$oAuth2Credential = (new OAuth2TokenBuilder())
->fromFile()
->build();
// Construct an API session configured from a properties file and the OAuth2
// credentials above.
$session = (new AdWordsSessionBuilder())
->fromFile()
->withOAuth2Credential($oAuth2Credential)
->build();
self::runExample(new AdWordsServices(), $session, $campaignId, $ip);
}
}
