Hi group ... New .Net developer here.  I have found the .Net
workaround bundle in the download sections and have incorporated it
into my project to get underway.

Is there any word on when the production wsdls will be updated so I
can generate my own classes from them?

This is the actual XML send/received for my request.
getMasterAccountLocation() seems to work as I get back a URL prefix
for the services.  Anything else gives me the E1036 error.  I am
using the .NET bundle from the download area. e.g. EWService.  Any
ideas on what might be wrong?  (I added line breaks for readability.)

Hi Don,

The problem is that you are trying to use a service not currently
supported in the Sandbox.  Please check out the documentation section of
the technology portal for more details:

<blush>Harumph .... I somehow overlooked the "not" and just saw

Thanks... I'll keep moving on.

I second the request for a report that shows daily keyword
performance.  It looks like I will have to submit a request day by
day to get this.  Adcenter and adwords already have this capability.

The KeywordSummary report is great.  It just needs to be updated to
include

<row date="2006-11-07">< the rest is ok></row>

For clarity...

A MasterAccount has unlimited Accounts.
Each account has the SAME MarketID and it cannot be changed.

From Documentation:
Currently, the market ID is the same for all accounts under a given
master account. To determine which market ID to use, use the
AccountService and the getAccount operation to look up the market ID
for other accounts under the master account (specified by
MasterAccountID).

It says "Currently".
Is it going to change?

Thanks

I'd bet that if it does change, there will be plenty of notice.  For
now, you have to code with the understanding that this is how it works
today...

Hope that helps,

I'm getting the following compilation error:

Value of type 'com.yahooapis.locationservice.Security' cannot be
converted to 'com.yahooapis.campaign.Security'.

Since I'm intializing my Security object using the LocationService, I'm
having problems assigning it to the SecurityValue property of a
CampaignService object.  Anyone know how to get around this error
without initializing a Security object for EVERY service and using that
particular object depending on which service is being coded against?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

Perhaps telling us which language you're using would help get an
answers.  If you are using .NET, I suggest you try the download
bundle in the download area.

For myself, I created an interface that lists the common
properties.  Then through the magic of partial classes in .NET 2.0,I
extended the base services with my API. THen I created a
simple "Initialize(PanamaService service)" function that takes the
service you want to initialize.

Fairly painless after you do the initial setup.  Works for adcenter
and adwords too.

I'm using VB.NET.  Where can I find the download bundle you are
referring to?  Does it explain how to create the common interface?

Also, are you saying that I need to initialize both objects that have
the common property?

http://ysm.techportal.searchmarketing.yahoo.com/downloads.asp  You
will need to sign in to access it.  It's at the bottom of the list.

If you use this (it's C#), you won't have the problem you describe.

If Panama had valid WSDLs supported by wsdl.exe, you can create
shared common types in your interface using the /sharetypes
parameter.

The common interface I described was a product of my imagination to
solve the problem for other web services (like adcenter and adwords).

I'm using the getReportOutputUrl() API function in VB.NET to get my
reports in XML format.  Everything looks fine except I'm not getting
the keywords broken down by Tactic ID (sponsored vs. content).  Is
there a way to get performance by Ad/Keyword/Tactic ID?

What is the reportType you are reqeusting?  Is it by adgroup?

It's the AdKeywordSummary report.

There is no way to add excluded words per keyword in the UI, at least
not the *new* UI.  The new platform only supports excluded words at the
Account and Ad Group level, both in the UI and API.

Hope that helps,

I'm using the getReportOutputUrl() API function in VB.NET to get my
AdKeywordSummary report in XML format. Everything looks fine except I'm
not getting the keywords broken down by Tactic ID (sponsored vs.
content). Is there a way to get performance by Ad/Keyword/Tactic ID?

I want to be able to pull a report that contains statistics broken down
by Keyword, Ad, and Tactic ID (sponsored or content).  I can't find one
listed.  The old DTC-XML API had a report that breaks down the
information to this level (AccountActivityDetail) so I'm assuming the
new API would have the same ability.  Which report has this
information?

There are no reports in the new system that provide tactic breakdown by
keyword.  Content Match is enabled at the Ad Group or higher level, so
only Ad Group and higher level reports can have tactic breakdowns.

Thanks,

Right, I know that I can't enable Content Match at this level but I
still should be able to get the sponsored and content "statistics"
at the Keyword/Ad level.  Otherwise, how do I know how Content is
performing?

You can track Content Match at the Ad Group level.

The keywords in that Ad Group should be thematically similar so that
your Ad Group represents some sort of a concept.  This is more in tune
with the idea of Content Match.  Individual keywords are not good
drivers for CM traffic and so reporting at the keyword/tactic level is
not supported.

Hope this helps,

Unfortunately, our current account is set up with only one adgroup
per campaign and many keywords per adgroup so I have to use the
AdKeywordSummary report to get statics per Keyword/Ad.  Do you know
if the statics for the AdKeywordSummary report is only Sponsored
statistics or is it Sponsored/Content combined?

Great question.

Any aggregations that include the keyword don't include Content Match
data.  This includes the AdKeywordSummary report.

I just pulled an AdKeywordSummary and AdKeyword summary report with the
same date range using the API.  For some reason, the numImpr, ctr, and
averagePostion are different (but close) while numClick, cpc, and cost
match EXACTLY in the totals XML node.  Aren't ALL the totals values
supposed to match exactly if I'm using the same date range no matter
what report I pull.  If not, can someone explain why?

Can you give a better example of some of the data?  And are you using
the sandbox or production (which endpoint)?  I think I follow what you
are saying but would like to see some examples first.

Here's AdKeywordSummary:
<totals>
   <analytics numImpr="9799" numClick="161" ctr="0.01643024798448821"
cpc="0.24559006211180123" numConv="0" clickConvRate="0.0"
revenue="0.0" roas="0.0" cost="39.54"
averagePosition="4.659863251352179" />
</totals>


Here's AdSummary:
<totals>
   <analytics numImpr="9828" numClick="161" ctr="0.01638176638176638"
cpc="0.24559006211180123" numConv="0" clickConvRate="0.0"
revenue="0.0" roas="0.0" cost="39.54"
averagePosition="4.653540903540904" />
</totals>

Remember that the AdSummary can contain Content Match data, but
AdKeywordSummary would not.  I have to assume the "extra" 29 impressions
came from CM.  That would also explain the very close, but not exact,
ctr, avg position, etc.

Thanks!  I wasn't sure if the AdKeywordSummary report combined search
and content or not.  =)

I want to use startDate and endDate instead of dateRange since I need
to have the ability to pull reports with a very specific date range.
However, every time I get my report back, the dateStart and dateEnd
fields are set to the previous day.  For instance, if startDate
= '11/1/2006' and endDate = '11/1/2006', my report returns...

dateStart="2006-10-31-0800"
dateEnd="2006-10-31-0800"

Does that mean the statistics are for 10/31?  How do I set the
startDate and endDate to just 11/1?

I think the problem is that you are sending ambiguous times.  Date/time
objects need to be in UTC, specifying your timezone offset.  If you are
in the Pacific Timezone, you'd say:
    startDate='2006-11-01T00:00:00-08:00'
    endDate='2006-11-01T23:59:59-08:00'

Just sending '2006-11-01', and letting Yahoo servers assume you meant
UTC would put you at '2006-10-31T16:00:00-00:00'.

Hope that helps,

Yes, but according to the API documentation, I need to set startDate
and endDate which are of the Date type.  I can't set them to a string
like you've specificed.  I mentioned '11/1/2006' as an example...it's
not really a string, it's a Date.
