BingAds GetAccount query multiple account ids

Question

Hey,

I'm using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/customer-management-service/getaccount?view=bingads-13 to get the account timezone, it's working for 1 account id but wanted to see if there is a way to query multiple accounts in one call?

Thanks

@Shay Hayo here's an example SOAP request with the UserId predicate:

   xml  
   <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">  
     <s:Header>  
       <Action s:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/addressing/none">SearchAccounts</Action>  
       <h:ApplicationToken i:nil="true" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13" />  
       <h:AuthenticationToken xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">* * *</h:AuthenticationToken>  
       <h:DeveloperToken xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">* * *</h:DeveloperToken>  
       <h:Password i:nil="true" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13" />  
       <h:UserName i:nil="true" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13" />  
     </s:Header>  
     <s:Body>  
       <SearchAccountsRequest xmlns="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">  
         <Predicates xmlns:d4p1="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">  
           <d4p1:Predicate>  
             <d4p1:Field>UserId</d4p1:Field>  
             <d4p1:Operator>Equals</d4p1:Operator>  
             <d4p1:Value>* * *</d4p1:Value>  
           </d4p1:Predicate>  
         </Predicates>  
         <Ordering xmlns:d4p1="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" i:nil="true" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" />  
         <PageInfo xmlns:d4p1="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">  
           <d4p1:Index>0</d4p1:Index>  
           <d4p1:Size>100</d4p1:Size>  
         </PageInfo>  
       </SearchAccountsRequest>  
     </s:Body>  
   </s:Envelope>  

To get the user ID, first call GetUser. For more details please see the get started guide i.e., step #5 here.

Hey anonymous user-MSFT ,

Tagging you since you helped me in the past, do you know if I can run the Get account on multiple account ids?
any other way to get the timezone of multiple accounts?

Thanks!

Answer 3

@Shay Hayo I suggest please try SearchAccounts. This operation returns a list of AdvertiserAccount objects. I hope this helps!

thanks anonymous user-MSFT ,

Few questions:
I tried to run this code, but I get empty result back
Request:

<s:Envelope xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Header xmlns="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">
    <Action mustUnderstand="1">SearchAccounts</Action>
<AuthenticationToken i:nil="false">valuehere</AuthenticationToken>
    <DeveloperToken i:nil="false">valuehere</DeveloperToken>
  </s:Header>
  <s:Body>
    <SearchAccountsRequest xmlns="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">
      <Predicates xmlns:e374="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" i:nil="false">
            <e374:Predicate>
          <e374:Field i:nil="false">AccountId</e374:Field>
          <e374:Operator>Equals</e374:Operator>
          <e374:Value i:nil="false">valuehere</e374:Value>
               </e374:Predicate>
         </Predicates>

      <PageInfo xmlns:e376="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" i:nil="false">
           <e376:Index>1</e376:Index>
        <e376:Size>100</e376:Size>
      </PageInfo>
    </SearchAccountsRequest>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Respond:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><s:Header><h:TrackingId xmlns:h="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13">11a41a54-8544-40b1-b346-b4979f5a5027</h:TrackingId></s:Header><s:Body><SearchAccountsResponse xmlns="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13"><Accounts xmlns:a="https://bingads.microsoft.com/Customer/v13/Entities" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/></SearchAccountsResponse></s:Body></s:Envelope>
