get DynamicSearchAd along with TextAd via Google Adwords API - google-ads-api

Google provides nice examples of getting TextAd via API: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/examples/v201209/BasicOperations/GetTextAds.php
I expected that getting DynamicSearchAd will be as easy as modifying line 54 to:
$selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('AdType', 'IN', array('TEXT_AD', 'DYNAMIC_SAERCH_AD'));
however for campaign with bunch of negative keywords, 0 postiive keywords and bunch of ads [ visible in the interface ] my result is buch of negative keywords and 0 ads, like they were not existing. I have googled for quite a long time already, but most recent post about keywordless ads is from 2012 and since then I believe that DynamicSearchAds went out from beta and are not available for everyone.
I played quite a little bit with sample example, changing fields [ like removing Headline and leaving only Id etc ], without success.
So my question is, how should I modify this example to obtain DSA ?

You've got missprint on constant in Predicate.
'DYNAMIC_SAERCH_AD' must be 'DYNAMIC_SEARCH_AD'

Problem finding metrics in the new Google My Business APIs

I am having some issues migrating my Google MY Business API python code.
My original code looks like:
Get my accounts:
service, flags = sample_tools.init(argv, "mybusiness", "v4", __doc__, __file__,
scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage",
discovery_filename=cfg.discovery_doc_old)
output = service.accounts().list().execute()
accounts = output["accounts"]
Get my locations name per account with the following call:
self.service.accounts().locations().list(parent=account['name']).execute()
For each location I get my insights report with the following call:
service.accounts().locations().reportInsights(name=self.account, body=body).execute()
Now since these calls are going to be deprecated, I need to update this code to the new Business APis. So far I managed to reproduce step 1 & 2 of my old code:
Get my accounts (using the my business account management api):
service, flags = sample_tools.init(argv, "mybusinessaccountmanagement", "v1", __doc__, __file__,
scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage",
discovery_filename=cfg.discovery_doc_new)
output = self.service.accounts().list().execute()
accounts = output["accounts"]
Get my location (using my business business information api):
service, flags = sample_tools.init(argv, "mybusinessbusinessinformation", "v1", __doc__, __file__,
scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage",
discovery_filename=cfg.discovery_doc_gmb_info)
output = service.accounts().locations().list(parent=self.accounts[0]['name'],
readMask='name',
).execute()
locations = output['locations']
Now I am missing the equivalent to the old
reportInsights(name=self.account, body=body).execute()
I haven't found anywhere some similar. I thought maybe I need to add it as the readmask, but also could find any documentation. I basically want to get the values of these metrics for each location using one of the new APIs:
https://developers.google.com/my-business/reference/rest/v4/Metric
I already went through this tutorial, even though I prefer using the client libraries:
https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/basic-setup
but it doesn't tell me where to find these metrics.
I have also tried the same structure as in the old API but I get the error message:
AttributeError: 'Resource' object has no attribute 'reportInsights'
Can someone help me with this? I am quite new to the Google APIs and maybe there is something obvious I missing out :/
Thanks a lot,
Rafael
As #devinthemaking has stated correctly, the reportInsights method is not deprecated and does not have a successor method yet.

This document requires 'TrustedScriptURL' assignment in Google Sheets

I have a Google Spreadsheet where I have the following information on specific cells in the sheet:
Cell B1: Has the URL http://www.google.com.co/search?q=NASA+watching+now%3A+site%3Awww.youtube.com
Cell B2: has the following formula: =IMPORTXML(B1,"//title")
Here is the link of the Google spreadsheet - if you want to test from your side.
And here is the Google Spreadsheet I'm working on - which, I want to get the specific data:
Title: Text (in the h3 HTML tag of the result item).
Url: Link (in the <a> HTML tag of the result item)
Description: Text next to the thumbnail of the result item.
See screenshot with the data to get using IMPORTXML:
The previous code returns the title of the given URL - in this case, the URL stored in the B1 cell.
It was working without problems (since 12/02/2022 - dd/MM/yyyy) until today (13/02/2022 - dd/mm/yyyy).
I checked the Chrome console "F12 Developer tools" and I get this error:
This document requires 'TrustedScript' assignment.
injectIntoContentWindow # VM364:27
By clicking the # VM364:27 line, the following code is shown:
function injectIntoContentWindow(contentWindow)
{
if (contentWindow && !injectedFramesHas(contentWindow))
{
injectedFramesAdd(contentWindow);
try
{
contentWindow[eventName] = checkRequest;
contentWindow.eval( /* ERROR with and (X) is shown here. */
"(" + injectedToString() + ")('" + eventName + "', true);"
);
delete contentWindow[eventName];
}
catch (e) {}
}
}
Searching on the internet, I barely could get the causes of this error:
Google Chrome update - making security stricter.
Chrome extensions - try to disable such extensions and try again.
CPS (Content-Security-Policy) - must be honest = I don't understand this point; it's from the website to scrape the data OR from Google Sheets the CPS is the root cause?
The solutions given to this problem are in Python - with the use of DOMPurify - as is described in this answer, but, I don't know and neither have found any clues about this problem and its solution in Google Spreadsheets.
I've tried:
Recover previous working Google Spreadsheet version - the result is that the formula re-evaluates and no result is returned; looking in Console, the This document requires 'TrustedScriptURL' assignment message shows.
Disable Google Chrome installed extensions - I only have AdBlock (this code was working without issues), anyway, I turned off, reload the spreadsheet and the error mentioned above raises in Console.
Using another page - I tried with Wikipedia and Wiki.fandom and it works - i.e. data is returned. Probably in this case, Google injected in their searcher an script for avoid injection? - I'm really not sure, only speculating/rambling here.
Another possible cause I consider is maybe my IP was blacklisted or blocked, but, I'm not sure.
My browser information:
Chrome version: 98.0.4758.82 (Build oficial) (64 bits) (cohort: Stable)
Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1466)
Is there any way to solve this error in Google Sheets?
PS: I'm interested in know the workaround using google sheets and/or custom scripts - via script editor/Apps Script. The use of IMPORTXML function is not mandatory - I find curious that it was working and then today, not anymore.
I will just leave this here:
=INDEX(UNIQUE(REGEXREPLACE(QUERY(IMPORTXML(A1, "//a/#href"),
"where Col1 contains 'youtube.com/'"), "\/url\?q=|&sa=.*", )))
=IMPORTXML(A1, "//title")
=IMPORTXML(A1, "//h3")
TL;DR: This document requires 'TrustedScript' assignment error is not the root cause of the delay of the IMPORTXML function - probably there is other cause(s) (outside of the developer's handling), but, after all, the code works - see working google spreadsheet - just, wait until the results are shown or use another way to web-scrapping the desired data.
Since the This document requires 'TrustedScript' assignment message stays appearing in the Console of the browser, but, the code I posted on my question (and the code posted by SO user player0 in their answer) works, it seems to me that the delay of the response using IMPORTXML might be due its buggy functionality and/or some restriction Google detected by doing multiple requests.
So, here are my tips about this:
Check very closely how the page where the data will be extracted from and its structured before doing excessive requests - or you might face a significant delay in the response of the IMPORTXML function - as I experienced it.
Get more familiar with XPath and check if the data is dynamically generated in the page - this makes even harder to get the desired data using this way of scrapping.
This is the spreadsheet with the desired results - if anyone is interesed1.
1 Check the "Results-mix" sheet (which contains both the code I manage to create and the code provided by player0 in their answer).
If you really want to get similar results in a less convoluted way, consider use another strategy for web-scrapping or use official APIs - when available.

https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from yahoo.finance.xchange where pair in ("ARSARS")&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys

I have been using the following URL for the past 3 years without issue. However, it has stopped returning results.
URL:
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from yahoo.finance.xchange where pair in ("ARSARS")&env=store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys
Now returns the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:count="0" yahoo:created="2017-11-02T09:33:25Z" yahoo:lang="en-AU">
<results/>
</query><!-- total: 9 -->
Notice how there are no results, it simply has the tag "results".
I have tried on this many different computers and browsers. I have also tried changing the currency combinations, but no luck.
Can anybody spot what I am doing wrong?
Yes, it looks like Yahoo has discontinued their Currency Converter API service.
I found a different site : https://currencylayer.com/
They let you request currency rates (1 USD = 168 other currencies). If you make less than 1000 requests per month, it is free (if you need more, they have different subscriptions : https://currencylayer.com/product).
You just need to sign up and receive your own Access Code. Once you have that, then you simply make the call http://apilayer.net/api/live?access_key= and it will return JSON of the other currency rates.
They also have code examples in PHP, JavaScript, and Java at https://currencylayer.com/documentation
Found it very easy to get started using their API right away.
I think the API is down.
I am similarly receiving "results"=nullfor the query:
http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select+%2A+from+yahoo.finance.xchange+where+pair+in+%28%22GBPEUR%22%29&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys
Setting diagnostics=true in the request yields:
`
[execution-start-time] => 7
[execution-stop-time] => 12
[execution-time] => 5
[http-status-code] => 999
[http-status-message] => Request denied
[content] => http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GBPEUR=X&f=snl1d1t1ab
`
If anyone knows more than me about what this might imply I'd be glad to hear it!
Yahoo is aware of this issue and their engineers are working on it:
ref: https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Yahoo-Finance-help/http-download-finance-yahoo-com-d-quotes-csv-s-GOOG-amp-f/td-p/387096
Very sadly and quite outrageously Yahoo decided to stop this service without any warning.
See admin message here
So many services depend on it, it's like Google saying they would suddenly stop their maps API... At this point I am blocking yahoo in our DNS so no one in our company will ever use Yahoo again since they are not a reliable entity.

Base CRM Rails Gem legacy search?

It looks like Base CRM has upgraded their API and replaced all of their endpoints/parameters.
Previously I was able to retrieve "Won" deals using this call:
session = BaseCrm::Session.new("<LEGACY_ACCESS_TOKEN>")
session.deals.all(stage: :won, sort_by: :last_activity, sort_order: :desc, page: 1)
This query recently started ignoring my parameters, yet it continued to respond with unfiltered data (that was fun when I realized that was happening).
The new syntax is:
client = BaseCRM::Client.new(access_token: "<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>")
client.deals.where(organization_id: google.id, hot: true)
yet this does not work:
client.deals.where(stage_name: :won)
client.deals.where(stage_name: "Won")
client.deals.where(stage_id: 8) # specified ID found in Base Docs for "Won"
etc.
I've looked into the most recent updates to the Base CRM Gem as well as the Base CRM API Docs but have not found a solution to searching by specific deal stage.
Has anyone had any luck with the new API and this kind of query?
Is there a way to use the legacy API?
I've left message with Base but I really need to fix this, you know, yesterday.
Thanks for your help!
ADDITIONAL INFO
The legacy API/gem responded with JSON where the v2 API/gem responds with a BaseCRM::Deal object:
$ session.deals.find(123456)
# <BaseCRM::Deal
dropbox_email="dropbox#67890.deals.futuresimple.com",
name="Cool Deal Name",
owner_id=54321,
creator_id=65432,
value=2500,
estimated_close_date=nil,
last_activity_at="2016-04-21T02:29:43Z",
tags=[],
stage_id=84588,
contact_id=098765432,
custom_fields={:"Event Location"=>"New York, NY", :Source=>"Friend"},
last_stage_change_at="2016-04-21T02:08:20Z",
last_stage_change_by_id=559951,
created_at="2016-04-18T22:16:35Z",
id=123456,
updated_at="2016-04-21T02:08:20Z",
organization_id=nil,
hot=false,
currency="USD",
source_id=1466480,
loss_reason_id=nil
>
Checkout stage_id. Is this a bug? According to the Docs stage_id should return an integer between 1 and 10.

Omniture Saint.ImportCreateJob

This is a very specific Omniture API question. Thought I'd check here if anyone encountered this problem since Omniture forum was not of much help -
Sending the following parameters to Omniture API Explorer here - https://developer.omniture.com/en_US/get-started/api-explorer#Saint.ImportCreateJob seems to work fine.
{
"check_divisions":"1",
"description":"OSRA job description: MyReportID, Products, 51",
"email_address":"my#email.com",
"export_results":"0",
"header":["Field1", "Field2"],
"overwrite_conflicts":"1",
"relation_id":51,
"report_suite_array":["MyReportID"],
"c_view":"SomeReportName"
}
But the call fails in the actual code with a 'Bad Request'. It seems like c_view parameter is expecting a certain value. The only documentation for c_view is that it expects a report name. I've tried report names and other values with no luck. Would appreciate any pointers from Omniture API users.
Thanks.
try using the relevant value from the classification_view chart. I know this is what you need for using the get/save classifications methods (I have used those methods, but not the Saint.ImportCreateJob method).
c_value is not required, so unless you plan on using it, it does not need to be present. It is supposed to be a classification_view https://developer.omniture.com/en_US/documentation/omniture-administration/r-classification-view.
It takes some trial and error to get this api working.
Here is an example of a call I use that works using the REST api over Java:
Request:
{
"check_divisions":1,
"description":"Report Test 1",
"email_address":"cdegroot#adobe.com",
"export_results":"0",
"overwrite_conflicts":0,
"relation_id":65,
"report_suite_array":["cdgdev"],
"header":["Key","Survey","Survey^Question","Survey^Question^Response","Engagement Index","Survey > Question > Response"]
}
Response:
"3387166"
Kind Regards C.
