AdsApp.​VideoAdGroupSelector

  • VideoAdGroupSelector is used to fetch video ad groups and supports filtering and sorting.

  • You can set predefined or custom date ranges for the selector using forDateRange() .

  • The get() method fetches the selected video ad groups and returns an iterator.

  • You can specify the order of results using the orderBy() method.

  • Conditions can be added to narrow down results using withCondition() , supporting various operators and columns.

  • You can restrict results to specific video ad group IDs or Google Ads API resource names using withIds() and withResourceNames() .

  • The withLimit() method allows you to specify the maximum number of entities to return.

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:

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.VideoAdGroupSelector 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.VideoAdGroupSelector The selector with date range applied.

get()

Fetches the requested video ad groups and returns an iterator.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.VideoAdGroupIterator Iterator of the requested video ad groups.

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 VideoAdGroupSelector.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 VideoAdGroupSelector.forDateRange(String) or VideoAdGroupSelector.forDateRange(Object, Object) .

LabelNames column cannot be used for ordering.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
orderBy
String Ordering to apply.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.VideoAdGroupSelector 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).

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

metrics.cost_micros
Double
withCondition("metrics.cost_micros > 4480000") . The value is specified in micros. E.g. $4.48 = 4480000.
metrics.ctr
Double
withCondition("metrics.ctr > 0.01") . Note that metrics.ctr is returned in 0..1 range, so 5% metrics.ctr is represented as 0.05.
metrics.impressions

withCondition("metrics.impressions != 0")
Ad group attributes
ad_group.status
Enumeration: ENABLED , PAUSED , REMOVED
withCondition("ad_group.status = PAUSED")
ad_group.name
String
withCondition("ad_group.name REGEXP_MATCH '.*shoes.*'")
campaign.name
String
withCondition("campaign.name REGEXP_MATCH '.*promotion.*'")
campaign.status
Enumeration: ENABLED , PAUSED , REMOVED
withCondition("campaign.status = ENABLED") . Use to fetch ad groups from only ENABLED campaigns.
ad_group.type
Enumeration: VIDEO_BUMPER , VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM , VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_DISPLAY , VIDEO_NON_SKIPPABLE_IN_STREAM
withCondition("ad_group.type = VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM") . Use to fetch ad groups of type VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM
ad_group.labels
StringSet
withCondition("ad_group.labels CONTAINS ANY ['customers/1234567890/labels/123', 'customers/1234567890/labels/456']") . The value is a list of label resource names.

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

Arguments:

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

Return values:

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

withIds(ids)

Restricts this selector to return only video ad groups with the given video ad group IDs.
 var 
  
 videoAdGroupIds 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
 '12345' 
 , 
  
 '23456' 
 , 
  
 '34567' 
 ]; 
 selector 
  
 = 
  
 selector 
 . 
 withIds 
 ( 
 videoAdGroupIds 
 ); 

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:

AdsApp.videoAdGroups()
   .withIds(['12345', '23456', '34567'])
   .withIds(['34567', '45678', '56789']);
will only get the video ad group with ID 34567 , since it would be the only video ad group that satisfies both ID conditions.

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

Arguments:

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

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.VideoAdGroupSelector 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.VideoAdGroupSelector The selector with limit applied.

withResourceNames(resourceNames)

Restricts this selector to return only video ad groups with the given Google Ads API resource names.
 const 
  
 videoAdGroupResourceNames 
  
 = 
  
 [ 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroups/111' 
 , 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroups/222' 
 , 
  
 'customers/1234567890/adGroups/333' 
 , 
 ]; 
 selector 
  
 = 
  
 selector 
 . 
 withResourceNames 
 ( 
 videoAdGroupResourceNames 
 ); 

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 video ad group resource names.

Return values:

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