AdGroupCriterionSimulation

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• An ad group criterion simulation helps understand performance changes based on different criteria and bid modifications.

• Supported simulations vary across advertising channel types, criterion types, simulation types, and modification methods.

• Hotel ad group criterion simulations are supported starting in V5 of the API.

• Simulation details include resource name, type, modification method, associated ad group and criterion IDs, and date range.

• Simulation results are provided as lists of points based on the simulation type, such as CPC bid or percent CPC bid.

An ad group criterion simulation. Supported combinations of advertising channel type, criterion type, simulation type, and simulation modification method are detailed below respectively. Hotel AdGroupCriterion simulation operations starting in V5.

Fields
resource_name	string Output only. The resource name of the ad group criterion simulation. Ad group criterion simulation resource names have the form: customers/{customer_id}/adGroupCriterionSimulations/{ad_group_id}~{criterion_id}~{type}~{modification_method}~{start_date}~{end_date}
type	SimulationType Output only. The field that the simulation modifies.
modification_method	SimulationModificationMethod Output only. How the simulation modifies the field.
ad_group_id	int64 Output only. AdGroup ID of the simulation.
criterion_id	int64 Output only. Criterion ID of the simulation.
start_date	string Output only. First day on which the simulation is based, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
end_date	string Output only. Last day on which the simulation is based, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Union field point_list point_list. List of simulation points. point_list can be only one of the following:
cpc_bid_point_list	CpcBidSimulationPointList Output only. Simulation points if the simulation type is CPC_BID.
percent_cpc_bid_point_list	PercentCpcBidSimulationPointList Output only. Simulation points if the simulation type is PERCENT_CPC_BID.
