Methods:

MemberTypeDescription
forDateRange AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Sets a predefined date range onto the selector.
forDateRange AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Sets a custom date range onto the selector.
get AdsApp.VideoAudienceIterator Fetches the requested video audiences and returns an iterator.
orderBy AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities.
withCondition AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Adds the specified condition to the selector in order to narrow down the results.
withIds AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Restricts this selector to return only video audiences with the given video audience IDs.
withLimit AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector Specifies limit for the selector to use.

forDateRange(dateRange)

Sets a predefined date range onto the selector. Supported values:

TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST_7_DAYS, THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY, LAST_WEEK, LAST_14_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK, LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT, THIS_MONTH, LAST_MONTH, ALL_TIME. Example:

 selector.forDateRange("THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY");

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:

NameTypeDescription
dateRange String Date range to set onto the selector.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector 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:

NameTypeDescription
dateFrom Object Start date of the date range.
dateTo Object End date of the date range.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector The selector with date range applied.

get()

Fetches the requested video audiences and returns an iterator.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceIterator Iterator of the requested video audiences.

orderBy(orderBy)

Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities. orderBy parameter can have one of the following forms:
  • orderBy("Cost") - orders results by Cost, in ascending order.
  • orderBy("Ctr ASC") - orders results by Ctr, in ascending order.
  • orderBy("MaxCpc DESC") - orders results by MaxCpc, in descending order.

See VideoAudienceSelector.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("Clicks DESC")
     .orderBy("CTR ASC");

The results will be ordered by Clicks in descending order. Results with equal Clicks value will be ordered by Ctr in ascending order.

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

LabelNames column cannot be used for ordering.

Arguments:

NameTypeDescription
orderBy String Ordering to apply.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector 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("Clicks > 5")
     .withCondition("Impressions > 100");
All specified conditions are AND-ed together. The above example will retrieve entities that observed over 100 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. Impressions, Clicks):
    <  <=  >  >=  =  !=
  • For Double columns (e.g. Ctr):
    <  >
  • For String columns (e.g. Name):
    =  !=  STARTS_WITH  STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE  CONTAINS
     CONTAINS_IGNORE_CASE  DOES_NOT_CONTAIN  DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE
  • 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. LabelNames):
    CONTAINS_ALL []  CONTAINS_ANY []  CONTAINS_NONE []
Conditions using IN, NOT_IN, CONTAINS_ALL, CONTAINS_ANY and CONTAINS_NONE operators look as follows:
 withCondition("ColumnName IN [Value1, Value2]")
Operators are case-sensitive: starts_with won't work.

Columns

All column names are case-sensitive, and so are all values of enumerated columns (such as Status).

Column Type Example
Stats
AverageCpc Double withCondition("AverageCpc < 1.45")
AverageCpm Double withCondition("AverageCpm > 0.48")
AverageCpv Double withCondition("AverageCpv < 0.23")
AveragePageviews Double withCondition("AveragePageviews > 0")
BounceRate Double withCondition("BounceRate < 0.5")
Clicks Long withCondition("Clicks >= 21")
ConversionRate Double withCondition("ConversionRate > 0.1")
Conversions Long withCondition("Conversions <= 4")
Cost Double withCondition("Cost > 4.48"). The value is in the currency of the account.
Ctr Double withCondition("Ctr > 0.01"). Note that Ctr is returned in 0..1 range, so 5% Ctr is represented as 0.05.
Impressions Long withCondition("Impressions != 0")
Keyword attributes
Status Enumeration: ENABLED, PAUSED, REMOVED withCondition("Status = PAUSED")
UserListName String withCondition("UserListName STARTS_WITH 'All visitors'")
AdGroupName String withCondition("AdGroupName CONTAINS_IGNORE_CASE 'shoes'")
AdGroupStatus Enumeration: ENABLED, PAUSED, REMOVED withCondition("AdGroupStatus = ENABLED"). Use to fetch placements from only ENABLED ad groups.
CampaignName String withCondition("CampaignName CONTAINS_IGNORE_CASE 'promotion'")
CampaignStatus Enumeration: ENABLED, PAUSED, REMOVED withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED"). Use to fetch placements from only ENABLED campaigns.

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

Arguments:

NameTypeDescription
condition String Condition to add to the selector.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector The selector with the condition applied.

withIds(ids)

Restricts this selector to return only video audiences with the given video audience IDs.

All video audiences are uniquely identified by the combination of their ad group ID and video audience ID. The IDs for this selector are thus represented as two-element arrays, with the first element being the ad group ID and the second being the video audience ID:

 var audienceIds = [
   [12345, 987987],
   [23456, 876876],
   [34567, 765765],
 ];
 selector = selector.withIds(audienceIds);

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:

 var ids1 = [
   [12345, 987987],
   [23456, 876876],
   [34567, 765765],
 ];
 var ids2 = [
   [34567, 765765],
   [45678, 654654],
   [56789, 543543],
 ];
 AdsApp.videoTargeting().audiences()
    .withIds(ids1)
    .withIds(ids2);
will only get the video audience with ID [34567, 765765], since it would be the only video audience that satisfies both ID conditions.

Arguments:

NameTypeDescription
ids long[][] Array of video audience IDs.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector 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:

NameTypeDescription
limit int How many entities to return.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.VideoAudienceSelector The selector with limit applied.
