Basically, I have a list of keywords, such as:
- red balloons
- free red balloons
- buy red balloons
- blue balloons
- ....
for each keyword, I have a list of 3-4 ads, each ad consisting of a title, line 1, line 2, and a url, e.g:
Title: Free red balloons!
Line 1: Buy free red balloons right now!
Line 2: No hidden fees!
Url: http://example.com
I have 3-4 such ads for every keyword.
Using the API, I want to:
1) Create an adgroup for every keyword
2) Under the adgroup, upload all the ads for that particular keyword.
So all the ads for `free red balloons` would go under that keyword's adgroup.
I'm looking for some general pointers/links to API pages for the methods which I'll need to use to accomplish this. Specifically I'm using PHP and the Apility library, but non-php specific info will also be very much welcome.
Using AdGroupService you would have to create ad group for each keyword. Of course you need to have parent campaign for that ad group.
Then using AdGroupCriterionService you would have to create keywords for each ad group.
And at last with AdGroupAdService place specified ads under appropriate ad group.
Using default AdWords clients this task is difficult because you need to create all that objects that are then being serialized into SOAP message.
If you are building your app on .NET platform, you might wanna take a look at GemBox.Ppc AdWords API for .NET.
It dramatically simplifies management of AdWords objects.
APIlity has been deprecated, as it only handles v13 of the AdWords API. To make your coding easier, you should probably be looking at the new PHP Client Library, which offers full support for v200909, the latest API version. Be sure to check the 'examples' folder in the client library for some samples.
CampaignService
AdGroupService
AdGroupAdServie
To connect with google adwords api use client library and see code examples. Read guides here.
Long story short:
Create campaign.
Add AdGroup to campaign for each keyword.
Add Keywords to AdGroups.
Add Ads to AdGroups.

I have a progress bar on my Squarespace website that is made with Bootstrap. I store sales information in a Google Sheet. On the site, I have a sales goal that I am trying to reach, so for the sake of example, $2000. I would like the progress bar to update based on the number that is in the Google Sheet. I already have the Google Sheet adding up all of the amounts and doing the math to determine the percentage, I just need that percentage to be displayed in the progress bar and to automatically update.
Essentially I want to make an in-house version of Kickstarter.
To automatically retrieve data from a Google Sheet you can use the Sheets API, specifically you can use the spreadsheets.values.get method.
To access this API on your account you will also need to also create a GCP project to set up OAuth access and build an app that connects to the API through this project.
I'm no expert on Squarespace, but while they do seem to have some connection with Google Workspace, it seems limited to creating an account, not integrating their APIs, so you'll probably need to use their developer platform to build the app yourself.
All in all, it will take some work and development hours to automate this. Unless you plan to extend your website's functionality in the future and include more of the Google APIs in it, you're probably better off manually updating this progress bar for the time being.
I am totally new to google ads, I have a google ads account setup. I have a customer id (which I believe is the parent account id), under this I have a lot of 'Accounts' (url: ads.google.com/aw/accounts) setup. Every account have a list of campaigns. I want to prepare a report to fetch all campaigns and there settings. I am using postman to hit google apis (googleads.googleapis.com/v8).
I want to know what apis I can use to list all customer accounts and their campaigns?
Using the rest API for this sort of operation is not advised. It's expensive and there's an extremely tight limit.
It's advised to use the gRPC client libraries as they use search operations. You can learn more here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start
Each of the client libraries has a robust set of examples and sample code that demonstrates exactly what you're trying to achieve (called list_accessible_accounts or similar). If you let me know what language you're using I can point you to the correct one.
does anybody know if there is a way how to create a label for a keyword using Google Ads API? It can be done using the web interface and apparently it could be done using the Adwords API, but I can't find a way how to do it using Google Ads API so I don't know if it's a feature which they didn't implement or if I'm blind.
Their documentation says
Labels allow you to categorize your campaigns, ad groups, ads, and keywords, and use those categories to simplify your workflow in a variety of ways.
which would suggest that it CAN be done, however below on the same page it states
You can assign labels to your campaigns, customers, ad groups, criteria, or ads.
No word about keywords. I am working with PHP / Laravel and I am using their official php package for the API communication. The package has classes like CampaignLabelOperation, CustomerLabelOperation, AdGroupLabelOperation, etc. but NO "KeywordLabelOperation".
Anybody have a clue if I just can't find it or whatever I could do? Thanks a lot for any help
Technically speaking, Keywords are Ad Group Criteria. Therefore, you'd need to use the AdGroupCriterionLabelService's MutateAdGroupCriterionLabels to create a keyword label.
I tried searching for api which can help in extracting AdWords Campaign, Ad Group, Keyword, Ad, Keyword, etc.. from Google Click ID (gclid), but I end up with Click Performance Reports. Well it wont solve my requirement completely.
So is there any way to use "gclid" in adwords to extract data.
Any public API would be of great use.
This question is quite old but I wanted to share: Google AdWords has an API.
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/start
Check out the PHP Library on Github.
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib
Gclid is exactly that - Click ID. With this, you can fetch Click Performance report like you have done. It contains CampaignID, AdgroupID and Criteria which has KeywordID. Then with these ID's, you can fetch appropriate reports which contain any additional information you may want!
I need a POI database for a startup project I am working on - it will be a free basic version and a premium paid for version in the sense that user will pay a monthly subscription.
I would like to use foursquare type checkin to places and plancast type functionality to search for places (one-line search). Ie I need to:
perform a search for POIs around a location
associate users to that POI, with a time stamp
allow users to add own POIs
provide free-text search for POIs (a la google one-line search)
Google API allows great search, but I understand there are limits in number of requests that can be done? This would prevent scaling, and may result in application breaking when too many users. Also what does google T&C say about using this in a paid for service?
Openstreetmap I understand does not have these contstraints, but do they also provide a good one-line search type API? Or how could I solve this?
have a look at http://eventful.com/ or http://qype.com - they both have APIs you can call to get find out whats happening near you. You can convert these events into POIs in your application. The APIs are free to use (your app just need to credit Eventful or Qype).
Take a look at the API at http://compass.webservius.com - may not have everything you need, but has very rich data on 16+ million business locations in the USA.
