Add expanded text ad
The best way to set up new ads in the API is to use the Add Expanded Text Ads code example in the Basic Operations folder of your client library. The sample handles all the background authentication tasks for you, and walks you through creating expanded text ads.
Java
private void runExample(GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, long adGroupId) {
String adGroupResourceName = ResourceNames.adGroup(customerId, adGroupId);
List<AdGroupAdOperation> operations = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_ADS_TO_ADD; i++) {
// Creates the expanded text ad info.
ExpandedTextAdInfo expandedTextAdInfo =
ExpandedTextAdInfo.newBuilder()
.setHeadlinePart1(String.format("Cruise #%d to Mars", i))
.setHeadlinePart2("Best Space Cruise Line")
.setDescription("Buy your tickets now!")
.build();
// Wraps the info in an Ad object.
Ad ad =
Ad.newBuilder()
.setExpandedTextAd(expandedTextAdInfo)
.addFinalUrls("http://www.example.com")
.build();
// Builds the final ad group ad representation.
AdGroupAd adGroupAd =
AdGroupAd.newBuilder()
.setAdGroup(adGroupResourceName)
.setStatus(AdGroupAdStatus.PAUSED)
.setAd(ad)
.build();
AdGroupAdOperation op = AdGroupAdOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(adGroupAd).build();
operations.add(op);
}
try (AdGroupAdServiceClient adGroupAdServiceClient =
googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createAdGroupAdServiceClient()) {
MutateAdGroupAdsResponse response =
adGroupAdServiceClient.mutateAdGroupAds(Long.toString(customerId), operations);
for (MutateAdGroupAdResult result : response.getResultsList()) {
System.out.printf(
"Expanded text ad created with resource name: %s%n", result.getResourceName());
}
}
}
