Send an API request

  • This page provides code samples in Java, Python, and PHP to demonstrate how to create and retrieve Display & Video 360 reporting queries using the Bid Manager API.

  • Before running the samples, you need to complete prerequisites, generate OAuth 2.0 credentials, and configure your client as instructed in the linked guides.

  • The "Create a query" section shows how to define query parameters such as data range, filters, dimensions, and metrics to retrieve specific report data.

  • The "Retrieve a query" section provides code snippets for fetching an existing query based on its ID and accessing its metadata, such as the display name.

  • For a comprehensive list of available Bid Manager API methods and further details, refer to the provided reference documentation link.

After you complete the prerequisites, generate the OAuth 2.0 credentials, and configure your client, you can use the following code samples to create and retrieve a Bid Manager API reporting query.

For a full list of Bid Manager API methods, see the reference documentation.

Create a query

Here's an example of how to create a Display & Video 360 reporting query:

Java

// Display name of the query to create.
String displayName = display-name;

// Advertiser ID and campaign ID by which to filter report data.
String advertiserId = advertiser-id;
String campaignId = campaign-id;

// Create the query structure.
Query query = new Query();

// Build and set the metadata object.
QueryMetadata metadata = new QueryMetadata();
metadata.setTitle(displayName);
metadata.setDataRange(new DataRange().setRange("LAST_7_DAYS"));
metadata.setFormat("CSV");
query.setMetadata(metadata);

// Build the parameters object.
Parameters parameters = new Parameters();
parameters.setType("STANDARD");

// Build and assign list of standard reporting dimensions to parameters object.
ArrayList<String> dimensions = new ArrayList<String>();
dimensions.add("FILTER_ADVERTISER_NAME");
dimensions.add("FILTER_ADVERTISER");
dimensions.add("FILTER_ADVERTISER_CURRENCY");
dimensions.add("FILTER_INSERTION_ORDER_NAME");
dimensions.add("FILTER_INSERTION_ORDER");
dimensions.add("FILTER_LINE_ITEM_NAME");
dimensions.add("FILTER_LINE_ITEM");
parameters.setGroupBys(dimensions);

// Build a list of filters.
ArrayList<FilterPair> filters = new ArrayList<FilterPair>();
filters.add(new FilterPair().setType("FILTER_ADVERTISER").setValue(advertiserId));
filters.add(new FilterPair().setType("FILTER_MEDIA_PLAN").setValue(campaignId));

// Set filters in parameters object.
parameters.setFilters(filters);

// Build and assign list of standard reporting metrics to parameters object.
ArrayList<String> metrics = new ArrayList<String>();
metrics.add("METRIC_IMPRESSIONS");
metrics.add("METRIC_BILLABLE_IMPRESSIONS");
metrics.add("METRIC_CLICKS");
metrics.add("METRIC_CTR");
metrics.add("METRIC_TOTAL_CONVERSIONS");
metrics.add("METRIC_LAST_CLICKS");
metrics.add("METRIC_LAST_IMPRESSIONS");
metrics.add("METRIC_REVENUE_ADVERTISER");
metrics.add("METRIC_MEDIA_COST_ADVERTISER");
parameters.setMetrics(metrics);

// Set parameters object in query.
query.setParams(parameters);

// Build and set the schedule object.
QuerySchedule schedule = new QuerySchedule();
schedule.setFrequency("ONE_TIME");
query.setSchedule(schedule);

// Create the query.
Query queryResponse = service.queries().create(query).execute();

// Log query creation.
System.out.printf("Query %s was created.%n", queryResponse.getQueryId());

Python

# Display name of the query to create.
display_name = display-name

# Advertiser ID and campaign ID by which to filter report data.
advertiser_id = advertiser-id
campaign_id = campaign-id

# Build query object with basic dimension and metrics values.

# Create query object.

Retrieve a query

Here's an example of how to retrieve a Display & Video 360 reporting query:

Java

// ID of query to retrieve.
Long queryId = query-id;

// Retrieve Display & Video 360 query.
Query queryResponse = service.queries().get(queryId).execute();

// Print display name of query.
System.out.printf(
    "Query ID %s was retrieved with display name %s.%n",
    queryResponse.getQueryId(),
    queryResponse.getMetadata().getTitle()
);

Python

# ID of query to retrieve.
query_id = query-id

# Retrieve Display & Video 360 query
query = service.queries().get(queryId=query_id).execute()

# Print display name of query.
print(
    f'Query ID {query_id} retrieved with display name'
    f' {query["metadata"]["title"]}.'
)

PHP

// ID of a query to retrieve.
$queryId = query-id;

// Retrieve Display & Video 360 query.
$queryResponse = $this->service->queries->get($queryId);

printf(
    'Query ID %s was retrieved with display name %s.
',
$queryId, $queryResponse->getMetadata()->getTitle() );
