TargetedLocationSelector

  • Article

Contains the methods for filtering and ordering a list of targeted locations. For information about selectors, see Selectors.

Example usage:

    var shoppingCampaign = AdsApp.shoppingCampaigns().withIds(["123456789"]).get().next();

    var iterator = shoppingCampaign.targeting().targetedLocations()
        .withLimit(10)
        .withIds("123456789")
        .get();

    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        var targetedLocation = iterator.next();
    }

Methods

Method Name Return Type Description
forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo) TargetedLocationSelector Applies the start and end dates for selecting performance metrics.
forDateRange(string dateRange) TargetedLocationSelector Applies the predefined date range for selecting performance metrics.
get TargetedLocationIterator Gets an iterator used to iterate through the list of targeted locations.
orderBy(string orderBy) TargetedLocationSelector Applies the specified ordering to the selected targeted locations.
withCondition(string condition) TargetedLocationSelector Applies filter criteria to the targeted locations.
withIds(string[] ids) TargetedLocationSelector Gets targeted locations with the specified IDs.
withLimit(int limit) TargetedLocationSelector Gets the top n targeted locations that match the selection criteria.

forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo)

Applies the start and end dates for selecting performance metrics.

Specify a date range only if:

  • You apply conditions or ordering that reference performance metric fields.
  • You want to get performance data for the objects you're selecting. For example, if you plan to call the getStats() method.

You may specify the date parameters using strings or objects. To use strings, specify the date in the form, YYYYMMDD. If you use objects, create an object with the following fields:

  • year
  • month
  • day

For example:

var date = {year: 2018, month: 5, day: 13};

The month is one-based where 1 is January and 12 is December.

The date range is inclusive. If you specify multiple date ranges, only the last date range is used.

Arguments

Name Type Description
dateFrom Object The start date of the date range that specifies the performance data to include in the selector.
dateTo Object The end date of the date range that specifies the performance data to include in the selector.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with date range applied.

forDateRange(String dateRange)

Applies the predefined date range for selecting performance metrics.

Supported date range values:

  • TODAY
  • YESTERDAY
  • LAST_WEEK
  • LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK
  • LAST_7_DAYS
  • THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY
  • LAST_14_DAYS
  • LAST_30_DAYS
  • LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT
  • THIS_MONTH
  • LAST_MONTH
  • ALL_TIME

Specify a date range only if:

  • You apply conditions or ordering that reference performance metric fields.
  • You want to get performance data for the objects you're selecting. For example, if you plan to call the getStats() method.

If you specify multiple date ranges, only the last date range is used.

Arguments

Name Type Description
dateRange String The predefined date range string that specifies the performance data to include in the selector. The predefined date range string is case sensitive.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with date range applied.

get

Gets an iterator used to iterate through the list of targeted locations.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationIterator An iterator used to iterate through the selected targeted locations.

orderBy(string orderBy)

Applies the specified ordering to the selected targeted locations.

Specify the orderBy parameter in the form, "columnName orderDirection" where:

  • columnName is one of the supported columns.
  • orderDirection is the order to sort the results in. Set to ASC to order the results in ascending order or DESC to order the results in descending order. The default is ASC.

For example, the following call returns results in ascending order by AverageCpc.

selector = selector.orderBy("AverageCpc");

Selectors support ordering entities by one field only. You may not order the list of entities by field x, and within x by field y, and so on. If you specify more than one orderBy() call in a chain or in separate selector calls, Scripts orders the list of entities using the field specified in the last orderBy() call. 

Arguments

Name Type Description
orderBy string The ordering to apply.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with ordering applied.

withCondition(String condition)

Applies filter criteria to the targeted locations.

Specify the condition parameter in the form, "columnName operator value" where:

Operators

The operator that you use depends on the column's type. Operators are case-sensitive. For example, use STARTS_WITH instead of starts_with.

Operators for columns that contain integers and long values:

<
<=
>
>=
=
!=

Operators for columns that contain double values:

<
>

Operators for columns that contain string values:

=
!=
STARTS_WITH
STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE
CONTAINS
CONTAINS_IGNORE_CASE
DOES_NOT_CONTAIN
DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE

Operators for columns that contain enumeration values:

=
!=
IN []
NOT_IN []

Operators for columns that contain an array of strings:

CONTAINS_ALL
CONTAINS_ANY
CONTAINS_NONE

Supported columns for targeted location filtering. The column names are case sensitive.

The following are the performance metrics columns you may specify.

Column Type Example Microsoft Advertising web UI filter
AbsoluteTopImpressionRate double withCondition("AbsoluteTopImpressionRate > 0.25") Abs. Top Impr. Rate
AverageCpc double withCondition("AverageCpc < 2.75") Avg. CPC
AverageCpm double withCondition("AverageCpm > 0.65") Avg. CPM
ClickConversionRate double withCondition("ClickConversionRate > 0.25") Conv. Rate
Clicks long withCondition("Clicks >= 33") Clicks
ConvertedClicks long withCondition("ConvertedClicks >= 10") Conv.
Cost double withCondition("Cost > 3.25")

The cost is in the account's currency.		 Spend
Ctr double withCondition("Ctr > 0.05")

The CTR is in the range 0..1, so use 0.05 for a 5% CTR.		 CTR
Impressions long withCondition("Impressions > 10") Impr.
TopImpressionRate double withCondition("TopImpressionRate > 0.25") Top Impr. Rate

Arguments

Name Type Description
condition string The condition to add to the selector.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with the condition applied.

withIds(string[] ids)

Gets targeted locations with the specified IDs.

You may apply one or more conditions to a selector. A chain of conditions is considered an AND operation. For example, the entity is selected only if condition A is true AND condition B is true. For example, the following call selects only targeted location 72.

var shoppingCampaign = AdsApp.shoppingCampaigns().withIds(["123456789"]).get().next();

var iterator = shoppingCampaign.targeting().targetedLocations()
    .withIds(["32", "72"])
    .withIds(["72", "190"]);

Arguments

Name Type Description
ids string[] An array of targeted location IDs. For limits, see Script execution limits.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with the IDs applied.

withLimit(int limit)

Gets the top n targeted locations that match the selection criteria.

Arguments

Name Type Description
limit int The number of targeted locations to return. The actual number may be less.

Returns

Type Description
TargetedLocationSelector Selector with limit applied.
