Methods:

Member Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector Sets a predefined date range onto the selector.
AdsApp.AdSelector Sets a custom date range onto the selector.
AdsApp.AdIterator Fetches the requested ads and returns an iterator.
AdsApp.AdSelector Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities.
AdsApp.AdSelector Adds the specified condition to the selector in order to narrow down the results.
AdsApp.AdSelector Restricts this selector to return only ads with the given ad IDs.

forDateRange(dateRange)

Sets a predefined date range onto the selector. Supported values:

TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST_7_DAYS, LAST_14_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK, LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT, LAST_WEEK_MON_SUN, THIS_WEEK_MON_TODAY, THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY, LAST_MONTH, THIS_MONTH, ALL_TIME . Example:

selector.forDateRange("THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY");

Date range must be specified if the selector has conditions or ordering for a stat field. Note that only the last date range specified for the selector will take effect.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
dateRange
String Date range to set onto the selector.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector with date range applied.

forDateRange(dateFrom, dateTo)

Sets a custom date range onto the selector. Both parameters can be either an object containing year, month, and day fields, or an 8-digit string in YYYYMMDD form. For instance, March 24th, 2013 is represented as either {year: 2013, month: 3, day: 24} or "20130324" . The date range is inclusive on both ends, so forDateRange("20130324", "20130324") sets the range of one day.

Date range must be specified if the selector has conditions or ordering for a stat field. Note that only the last date range specified for the selector will take effect.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
dateFrom
Object Start date of the date range.
dateTo
Object End date of the date range.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector with date range applied.

get()

Fetches the requested ads and returns an iterator.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdIterator Iterator of the requested ads.

orderBy(orderBy)

Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities. orderBy parameter can have one of the following forms:
  • orderBy("metrics.cost_micros") - orders results by metrics.cost_micros, in ascending order.
  • orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC") - orders results by metrics.ctr, in ascending order.
  • orderBy("ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros DESC") - orders results by ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros, in descending order.

See AdSelector.withCondition(String) for enumeration of columns that can be used.

orderBy() may be called multiple times. Consider the following example:

selector = selector.forDateRange("LAST_14_DAYS")
    .orderBy("metrics.clicks DESC")
    .orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC");

The results will be ordered by metrics.clicks in descending order. Results with equal metrics.clicks value will be ordered by metrics.ctr in ascending order.

If a stats column is used in the ordering, date range must be specified via AdSelector.forDateRange(String) or AdSelector.forDateRange(Object, Object) .

LabelNames column cannot be used for ordering.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
orderBy
String Ordering to apply.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector with ordering applied.

withCondition(condition)

Adds the specified condition to the selector in order to narrow down the results.

Multiple conditions may be added to the same selector:

selector = selector.forDateRange("LAST_MONTH")
    .withCondition("metrics.clicks > 5")
    .withCondition("metrics.impressions > 100");
All specified conditions are AND -ed together. The above example will retrieve entities that observed over 100 metrics.impressions AND more than 5 clicks.

The parameter to be passed into this method must be of the following form:

"COLUMN_NAME OPERATOR VALUE"

Operators

The operator that can be used in a condition depends on the type of column.
  • For Integer and Long columns (e.g. metrics.clicks and metrics.impressions):
    <  <=  >  >=  =  !=
  • For Double columns (e.g. metrics.ctr):
    <  >
  • For String columns (e.g. campaign.name):
    =  !=  (NOT) (LIKE | CONTAINS | REGEXP_MATCH)
  • For Enumeration columns (ones that can only take one value from a predefined list, such as Status):
    =  !=  IN ()  NOT IN ()
  • For StringSet columns (e.g. campaign.labels):
    CONTAINS ALL ()  CONTAINS ANY ()  CONTAINS NONE ()
Conditions using IN , NOT IN , CONTAINS ALL , CONTAINS ANY and CONTAINS NONE operators look as follows:
withCondition("resource.column_name IN (Value1, Value2)")

Columns

All column names are case-sensitive, and so are all values of enumerated columns (such as Status).

Example
Stats
metrics.average_cpc
Double
withCondition("metrics.average_cpc < 1.45")
metrics.average_cpm
Double
withCondition("metrics.average_cpm > 0.48")

If a stats column is used in the condition, date range must be specified via AdSelector.forDateRange(String) or AdSelector.forDateRange(Object, Object) .

Arguments:

Name Type Description
condition
String Condition to add to the selector.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector with the condition applied.

withIds(ids)

Restricts this selector to return only ads with the given ad IDs.

All ads are uniquely identified by the combination of their ad group ID and ad ID. The IDs for this selector are thus represented as two-element arrays, with the first element being the ad group ID and the second being the ad ID:

 var 
  
 adIds 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
  
 [ 
 '12345' 
 , 
  
 '987987' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '23456' 
 , 
  
 '876876' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '34567' 
 , 
  
 '765765' 
 ], 
 ]; 
 selector 
  
 = 
  
 selector 
 . 
 withIds 
 ( 
 adIds 
 ); 
In cases where the ad group ID is already known, the IDs for this selector can then be just an array of ad IDs. Any provided ad group ID and ad ID combination will override the embedded ad group ID. For instance, the following will select the ads with the given ad IDs in the given ad group:
 var 
  
 ids 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
 '12345' 
 , 
  
 '23456' 
 , 
  
 '34567' 
 ]; 
 var 
  
 ads 
  
 = 
  
 adGroup 
 . 
 ads 
 () 
 . 
 withIds 
 ( 
 ids 
 ); 

The resulting selector can be further refined by applying additional conditions to it. The ID-based condition will then be AND-ed together with all the other conditions, including any other ID-based conditions. So, for instance, the following selector:

 var 
  
 ids1 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
  
 [ 
 '12345' 
 , 
  
 '987987' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '23456' 
 , 
  
 '876876' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '34567' 
 , 
  
 '765765' 
 ], 
 ]; 
 var 
  
 ids2 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
  
 [ 
 '34567' 
 , 
  
 '765765' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '45678' 
 , 
  
 '654654' 
 ], 
  
 [ 
 '56789' 
 , 
  
 '543543' 
 ], 
 ]; 
 AdsApp 
 . 
 ads 
 () 
  
 . 
 withIds 
 ( 
 ids1 
 ) 
  
 . 
 withIds 
 ( 
 ids2 
 ); 
will only get the ad with ID ['34567', '765765'] , since it would be the only ad that satisfies both ID conditions.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
ids
Object[][] Array of ad IDs.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector restricted to the given IDs.

withLimit(limit)

Specifies limit for the selector to use. For instance, withLimit(50) returns only the first 50 entities.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
limit
int How many entities to return.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector with limit applied.

withResourceNames(resourceNames)

Restricts this selector to return only ads with the given Google Ads API resource names.
 const 
  
 adResourceNames 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/111~222' 
 , 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/111~333' 
 , 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/444~555' 
 , 
 ]; 
 selector 
  
 = 
  
 selector 
 . 
 withResourceNames 
 ( 
 adResourceNames 
 ); 

The resulting selector can be further refined by applying additional conditions to it. The resource name condition will then be AND-ed together with all the other conditions.

The selector can only support up to 10,000 resource names. If more than 10,000 resource names are specified, the corresponding get() call will fail with a runtime error.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
resourceNames
String[] Array of ad resource names.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdSelector The selector restricted to the given resource names.
