Re: Accessing the opportunities via the api

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

The API call https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bid-landscapes sounds exactly what we are after.

I created a quick test using our Live account details but it seems to always return "No campaign criterion bid modifier landscapes were found". However is we look in the Adwords account under opportunities I can see it has Opportunities for raising the budget.

We are using the example code from https://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201607/Optimization/GetCampaignCriterionBidModifierSimulations.php to test this out.

Are you able to shed any more light on this and how we can fetch that data?

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Although you might be able to automate most suggestions that you see in the opportunities tab using the API, you cannot fetch the suggestions themselves via the API. In general, most functionality in the AdWords web interface can be replicated using the API. For example, you can refer to this guide on how to mutate a campaign's budget using the API. For managing multiple client account budgets under a manager account, you can use the BudgetOrderService. Similarly, you can use the CampaignExtensionSettingService to add site-links to your campaign via the API. Additionally, AdWords API provides you with bid landscapes, which can help you estimate the performance of your campaign if you made changes to the bid, and TrafficEstimatorService, which can help you estimate traffic for existing campaigns and ad groups. 

Hope this information is helpful. Please revert if you have additional questions. 

Regards,

Vishal, AdWords API Team
