The sandbox environment is a testing environment only and is not
meant to match the numbers you see in your Sponsored Search account.

Please provide more information about this issue. What report are you
pulling? Are you receiving an error message? If so, what is it?

I am trying to connect to the live service but when I call the
LocationService function
getMasterAccountLocation();

with the url location
https://global.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V3/LocationService

I get the following error message:
Wrong namespace for service.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I fixed the problem, the code to output the location service url
needed to be updated, getLocationServiceAddress as the url structure
of the sandbox differs from the url structure of the live service.

To jake who mailed me I was unable to mail you back as the email
bounced. What I would suggest is to take the example code from here:
http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/developer/docs/V3/sample_code/index.php

and plug in your sandbox values you received in your welcome email.

We are trying to upgrade to V3 and I cannot access the location
service. My code builds, but when I try to instantiate the location
service I get the error "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not
be determined." I am referencing the wsl
http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/developer/docs/V3/wsdl-
sandbox/V3/LocationService.wsdl. According to the sample code
YahooEWSClient.cs this should work. Debugging further I found there is
a dynamically generated file called Reference.cs contains the
constructor and the url is infact invalid.

Reference.cs Constructor:
/// <remarks/>
         public LocationServiceService() {
             this.Url
= "@hostport_LocationService@/services/V3/LocationService";
}


Code:
LocationServiceService _locationService = new LocationServiceService();

I am having trouble figuring out exactly what this is returning. When
I compare a keyword from the web with the values returned from the
Forecast API, all the values are different! I have set the locale to
the same market.

Could someone shed some light on the discrepancy?
Thanks

I figured out my own problem. I realized that location service won't
work for sandbox enviornment, you must hardcode location service url
in sandbox.

Thanks,
I got it connecting to the sandbox and the live service. My problem
now is that the data coming out is not what I expect:(
Have you dealt with the ForecastService?

Hello,
I got it connecting to the sandbox but no to the production environment
When I am trying to connect to the production environment, I have
getting "Account not found".

I take the example code from
http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/developer/docs/V3/sample_code/php.php#code

and i replace
define("EWS_LOCATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT",
"sandbox.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com");
by
define("EWS_LOCATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT",
"global.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com");

and
i replace account's username, password, licence's key, master
accountID, & account ID by the values received in my email.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Seb

Check you are not accidentally using the sandbox login details as they
differ from the live login details.

a other idea?

it's good.
Before, I used this Account ID received in my email.
"Your Account ID linked to this key is xxxxx
(this is a shell account used only to contain your API key)"

Now i use Account ID of my Sponsored Search and it's OK.

Thank you.

Seb

The values returned from the Forecast API are approximately 31 times
lower than the values returned by the web.
I think that the values from the Forecast API are by day.

Hi everyone -

I got the sandbox 'YahooEWSClient' working fine - now I've got my
live license key etc, so I'm trying to make this work on the
production environment.

* I am entering all login details correctly, replacing the sandbox
details.

* I am changing:
define
("EWS_LOCATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT",  "sandbox.marketing.ews.yahooapis.co
m");
to:
define
("EWS_LOCATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT",  "global.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com
");

*I am then trying to run the script, but I get the following error
generated:

Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient
(https://global.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V4/LocationServic
e?wsdl) [function.SoapClient-SoapClient]: failed to open stream: HTTP
request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Warning: SoapClient::SoapClient() [function.SoapClient-SoapClient]:
I/O warning : failed to load external
entity "https://global.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V4/Locatio
nService?wsdl"


...has anyone got any idea what could be wrong??? I presumed all i
needed to do was change over my sandbox login details to my live
ones - plus change the location_service_endpoint from 'sandbox'
to 'global' - and it should work!

Any help much appreciated!!

Thanks.

...problem solved! V4 production environment isnt live yet (didnt
know this!). Nevermind, just a shame that took me hours to figure out!

M.

Hi everyone,

When I try to create a new ad by using AdService::addAd I get a failure message
after
submitting a 'shortDescription' with exactly 70 chars length
(editorialReasonCode 38, 'Exceeds the character limit').

By chopping the last character (a 69 char length 'shortDescription') the submit
works but in
the response XML I find the same "shortDescription" with an added dot at the
end. There is
definitely no dot at the end in the request XML sent to Yahoo! API.

It's no problem to edit the short description in the Yahoo! SM web interace.
There I'm able to
replaced the mysterious dot with the character I wanted to be there.

Did someone experienced a similar behavior?

Thanks very much in advance,

Adrian

Hi there,

I am new to Yahoo API and trying to use Sandbox BasicReportService to
get report URL, could any of you post sample code for doing this? I
couldn't find sample code for using BasicReportService from Yahoo
website...


thanks a lot
JN

I am under a big time crunch to get this working and would greatly
appreciate your help!!!

I am new to web services and have just inherited an app that runs in
production on the V3 WSDL and has a working credentials.  When I try
to point the Web Reference at the Sandbox for either V3 or V4, I get
the above error.  I would think that if the credentials work for
production, they should work for the sandbox, right?

This is the wsdl url I am using:
https://sandbox.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V3/LocationServic
e?wsdl

I also tried
https://sandbox.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V4/LocationServic
e?wsdl

And my EWS_LOCATION_SERVICE_ENDPOINT is
http://sandbox.marketing.ews.yahooapis.com/services/V3/LocationService

Please help!  The credentials works in production.  Do I need another
set of credentials for sandbox?
Thanks!!!
Julie

On April 15, 2008, Yahoo! Search Marketing released EWS Version 4.0.0 in our production environment. Version 4.0.0 is a major version release and includes features that are backward-incompatible. We urge you to complete your development on Version 4.0.0 as soon as possible, as we plan to deprecate EWS Version 3.2.0 on July 15, 2008.

New Features
EWS Version 4.0.0 supports a new variable minimum bids feature, which may significantly impact your bidding strategy. As part of this change, minimum bids are no longer fixed for all keywords--they may be higher or lower than $.10.

EWS Version 4.0.0 is configured to work with this new variable minimum bid system. Thus, if you do not upgrade to EWS Version 4.0.0, you may not be able to manage your account to its full potential.

What Do I Need to Do?
Prior to launching your new code into production, we strongly urge you to start experimenting with Version 4.0.0 in the EWS sandbox to safely make any required changes to your client application and test your implementation. Then, launch your new code into production as soon as possible.

Please note that the EWS documentation, available on the Technology Solutions Portal, explains the new features in more detail.

Questions?
For more information about our versioning process, please read our Versioning FAQs here.

If you have further questions, please contact your Technical Account Manager or ews-help@....

The credentials that work in the Production environment will NOT work
in the Sandbox environment. You will need another set of credentials.
The Sandbox credentials are usually provided in the same package as
your Production credentials.

I'm looking to see if there is any software out there that has been
developed in order to upload bulk changes and manage/optimise account
more easier , just like the google adwords editor tool ?

How does 3.2.0 deal with keywords which have min bids not equal to
$.10? I have received errors saying my new bids are too low, but there
is no way to check what the minimum bid is without upgrading to 4.0.

3.2.0 is not compatible with the new min bid scheme. You will need to
upgrade to 4.0.
