After creating and configuring your Demand Gen resources, you can update their entityStatus
fields to ENTITY_STATUS_ACTIVE
to begin serving ads. All three
resources must be active to begin serving ads.
LineItem
resources must be created with the "draft" EntityStatus
and activated in a subsequent request. AdGroup
and AdGroupAd
resources can be created with the
"active" EntityStatus
, but it is recommended that you create these resources
with a "paused" status. That way you can assign targeting and verify correct
configuration before activating the resources in subsequent requests.
Activate line item
Here's how to activate a line item:
Python
# The ID of the line item's parent advertiser. advertiser_id = advertiser - id # The ID of the Demand Gen line item. line_item_id = line - item - id line_item_obj = { "entityStatus" : "ENTITY_STATUS_ACTIVE" , } # Build and execute request. response = ( service . advertisers () . lineItems () . patch ( advertiserId = advertiser_id , lineItemId = line_item_id , updateMask = "entityStatus" , body = line_item_obj , ) . execute () ) # Display the line item's new entity status print ( f "Line item { response [ 'name' ] } now has entity status " f " { response [ 'entityStatus' ] } ." )
Activate ad group
Here's how to activate an ad group:
Python
# The ID of the ad group's parent advertiser. advertiser_id = advertiser - id # The ID of the Demand Gen ad group. ad_group_id = ad - group - id ad_group_obj = { "entityStatus" : "ENTITY_STATUS_ACTIVE" , } # Build and execute request. response = ( service . advertisers () . adGroups () . patch ( advertiserId = advertiser_id , adGroupId = ad_group_id , updateMask = "entityStatus" , body = ad_group_obj , ) . execute () ) # Display the ad group's new entity status print ( f "Ad group { response [ 'name' ] } now has entity status " f " { response [ 'entityStatus' ] } ." )
Activate ad
Here's how to activate an ad:
Python
# The ID of the ad's parent advertiser. advertiser_id = advertiser - id # The ID of the Demand Gen ad. ad_id = ad - group - ad - id ad_obj = { "entityStatus" : "ENTITY_STATUS_ACTIVE" , } # Build and execute request. response = ( service . advertisers () . adGroupAds () . patch ( advertiserId = advertiser_id , adGroupAdId = ad_id , updateMask = "entityStatus" , body = ad_obj , ) . execute () ) # Display the ad's new entity status print ( f "Ad { response [ 'name' ] } now has entity status " f " { response [ 'entityStatus' ] } ." )
