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.
Provided that $customerId contains your customer ID and $campaignId contains
your campaign ID, you can use
forCampaign
to get the resource name of the campaign as shown below:
Each entity has a different set of IDs that composes the resource name. For
instance, the resource name of an ad group criterion needs a customer ID, ad
group ID, and ad group criterion ID.
