Resource Names

The unique identifier for an entity in the Google Ads API is called a resource name, and is represented as a string with a predictable format. If you know the constituent components of a resource name, you can use this utility to generate the final resource name.

ResourceNames class

The ResourceNames utility is a way to construct the resource name of an entity if you know all of the relevant IDs related to that entity. For example, a campaign resource name is in the format customers/{customer_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id} , so if you know the customer ID and the campaign ID, you can use the ResourceNames utility to construct the full resource name as follows:

  my 
  
 $resource_name 
  
 = 
  
 Google::Ads::GoogleAds::V21::Utils::ResourceNames:: 
 campaign 
 ( 
 $customer_id 
 , 
  
 $campaign_id 
 ); 
 

You can use other entity names as well, which take different IDs depending on the final form of the resource name.
