Usage Examples

library(r4googleads)
google_auth <- authenticate()

Examples

In addition to Google queries {r4googleads} comes with built-in support for GoogleAds services and listing accessible customers. Please notice that all examples assume that you have a working GoogleAds setup (MCC, Client ID, Client Secret, Developer Token and client token) and that you’re authenticated successfully using {r4googleads}.

Explore Report Data Schema

First create the corresponding R object of class GoogleAdsFields and set its parameters that will be send to Google.

report_schema = googleAdsFields(
  tbl = "campaign", # e.g. campaign report
  api_version = 'v9'
  )

Pass the newly created object to the standard query_google_ads function

campaign_report_schema <- query_google_ads(
  mcc_id = '***-***-****', # Google Ads My Client Center ID
  google_auth = google_auth,
  service = report_schema,
  raw_data = F
)

and received the desired answer based on the parameters and class of the object.

> str(campaign_report_schema)

 $ isRepeated        : logi FALSE

List Customers / Accounts

Listing available accounts works in similar fashion.

list_customer_service <- listAccessibleCustomers(api_version = 'v9')

customers <- query_google_ads(
  mcc_id = '***-***-****', # Google Ads My Client Center ID
  google_auth = google_auth,
  service = list_customer_service,
  raw_data = F
)

… customers a simple list of resources.

> customers
$resourceNames
[1] "customers/8880XXXXX"
