AI-generated Key Takeaways

outlined_flag

• AdsApp.VideoYouTubeVideoSelector fetches YouTube videos and supports filtering and sorting.

• You can set predefined or custom date ranges for the selection.

• The get() method fetches the videos and returns an iterator.

• You can specify the order of the results using the orderBy() method.

• Conditions can be added using withCondition() to narrow down results based on various columns and operators.

• You can restrict results to specific videos using withIds() or withResourceNames().

• The number of results can be limited using withLimit().

Typical usage:

var youTubeVideoSelector = AdsApp.videoTargeting()
    .youTubeVideos()
    .withCondition("metrics.impressions > 100")
    .forDateRange("LAST_MONTH")
    .orderBy("metrics.clicks DESC");

var youTubeVideoIterator = youTubeVideoSelector.get();
while (youTubeVideoIterator.hasNext()) {
  var youTubeVideo = youTubeVideoIterator.next();
}

• VideoYouTubeVideoIterator
• VideoYouTubeVideo

Methods:

forDateRange(dateRange)

TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST_7_DAYS, LAST_14_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK, LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT, LAST_WEEK_MON_SUN, THIS_WEEK_MON_TODAY, THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY, LAST_MONTH, THIS_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:

Return values:

forDateRange(dateFrom, dateTo)

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:

Return values:

get()

Return values:

orderBy(orderBy)

• orderBy("metrics.cost_micros") - orders results by metrics.cost_micros, in ascending order.
• orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC") - orders results by metrics.ctr, in ascending order.
• orderBy("ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros DESC") - orders results by ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros, in descending order.

See VideoYouTubeVideoSelector.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("metrics.clicks DESC")
    .orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC");

The results will be ordered by metrics.clicks in descending order. Results with equal metrics.clicks value will be ordered by metrics.ctr in ascending order.

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

LabelNames column cannot be used for ordering.

Arguments:

Return values:

withCondition(condition)

Multiple conditions may be added to the same selector:

selector = selector.forDateRange("LAST_MONTH")
    .withCondition("metrics.clicks > 5")
    .withCondition("metrics.impressions > 100");

The parameter to be passed into this method must be of the following form:

"COLUMN_NAME OPERATOR VALUE"

Operators

• For Integer and Long columns (e.g. metrics.clicks and metrics.impressions):

  <  <=  >  >=  =  !=

• For Double columns (e.g. metrics.ctr):

  <  >

• For String columns (e.g. campaign.name):

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

• 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. campaign.labels):

  CONTAINS ALL ()  CONTAINS ANY ()  CONTAINS NONE ()

withCondition("resource.column_name IN (Value1, Value2)")

Columns

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

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

Arguments:

Return values:

withIds(ids)

All video YouTube videos are uniquely identified by the combination of their ad group ID and video YouTube video 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 YouTube video ID:

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

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().youTubeVideos()
   .withIds(ids1)
   .withIds(ids2);

Arguments:

Return values:

withLimit(limit)

Arguments:

Return values:

withResourceNames(resourceNames)

const youTubeVideoResourceNames = [
  'customers/1234567890/youTubeVideos/111~222',
  'customers/1234567890/youTubeVideos/111~333',
  'customers/1234567890/youTubeVideos/444~555',
];
selector = selector.withResourceNames(youTubeVideoResourceNames);

The resulting selector can be further refined by applying additional conditions to it. The resource name condition will then be AND-ed together with all the other conditions.

The selector can only support up to 10,000 resource names. If more than 10,000 resource names are specified, the corresponding get() call will fail with a runtime error.
