AdsApp.​ExcludedTopicSelector

Fetches excluded topics. Supports filtering and sorting.

Typical usage:

var adGroup = AdsApp.adGroups().get().next();
var excludedTopicSelector = adGroup.display().excludedTopics();

var excludedTopicIterator = excludedTopicSelector.get();
while (excludedTopicIterator.hasNext()) {
  var excludedTopic = excludedTopicIterator.next();
}

Methods:

Member	Type	Description
get	AdsApp.ExcludedTopicIterator	Fetches the requested excluded topics and returns an iterator.
orderBy	AdsApp.ExcludedTopicSelector	Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities.
withCondition	AdsApp.ExcludedTopicSelector	Adds the specified condition to the selector in order to narrow down the results.
withLimit	AdsApp.ExcludedTopicSelector	Specifies limit for the selector to use.

get()

Fetches the requested excluded topics and returns an iterator.

Return values:

Type	Description
AdsApp.ExcludedTopicIterator	Iterator of the requested excluded topics.

orderBy(orderBy)

Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities. orderBy parameter can have one of the following forms:

• orderBy("ad_group.name") - orders results by ad_group.name, in ascending order.
• orderBy("ad_group.name ASC") - orders results by ad_group.name, in ascending order.
• orderBy("ad_group.name DESC") - orders results by ad_group.name, in descending order.

See ExcludedTopicSelector.withCondition(String) for enumeration of columns that can be used.

orderBy() may be called multiple times. Consider the following example:

selector = selector.
    .orderBy("ad_group.name")
    .orderBy("campaign.name");

The results will be ordered by ad_group.name in ascending order. Results with equal ad_group.name value will be ordered by campaign.name in ascending order.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
orderBy	String	Ordering to apply.

Return values:

Type	Description
AdsApp.ExcludedTopicSelector	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
    .withCondition("ad_group.status NOT IN [PAUSED]")
    .withCondition("campaign.name = 'Campaign 1'");

All specified conditions are AND-ed together. The above example will retrieve excluded topics in Campaign 1 that are in ad groups that are not paused.

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 String columns (e.g. ad_group.name):

  =  !=  (NOT) (LIKE | CONTAINS | REGEXP_MATCH)

• For Enumeration columns (ones that can only take one value from a pre-defined list, such as ad_group.status):

  =  !=  IN () NOT IN ()

Conditions using IN, NOT IN, CONTAINS ALL, CONTAINS ANY and CONTAINS NONE operators look as follows:

withCondition("ad_group.status IN [ENABLED, PAUSED]")

Columns

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

Column	Type	Example
Excluded Topic attributes
ad_group.name	String	withCondition("ad_group.name REGEXP_MATCH '.*shoes.*'")
ad_group.status	Enumeration: ENABLED, PAUSED, REMOVED	withCondition("ad_group.status = ENABLED"). Use to fetch excluded topics from only ENABLED ad groups.
campaign.name	String	withCondition("campaign.name REGEXP_MATCH '.*promotion.*'")
campaign.status	Enumeration: ENABLED, PAUSED, REMOVED	withCondition("campaign.status = ENABLED"). Use to fetch excluded topics from only ENABLED campaigns.

Arguments:

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

Return values:

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

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.ExcludedTopicSelector	The selector with limit applied.
