AdSelector
Contains the methods for filtering and sorting a list of ads. For information about selectors, see Selectors.
Methods
Method Name | Return Type | Description |
---|---|---|
forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo) | AdSelector | Applies the start and end dates for selecting performance metrics. |
forDateRange(string dateRange) | AdSelector | Applies the predefined date range for selecting performance metrics. |
get | AdIterator | Gets an iterator used to iterate through the list of ads. |
orderBy(string orderBy) | AdSelector | Applies the specified ordering to the selected ads. |
withCondition(string condition) | AdSelector | Applies filter criteria to the ads. |
withIds(string[] ids) | AdSelector | Gets ads with the specified IDs. |
withLimit(int limit) | AdSelector | Gets the top n ads that match the selection criteria. |
forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo)
Applies the start and end dates for selecting performance metrics.
Specify a date range only if:
- You apply conditions or ordering that reference performance metric fields.
- You want to get performance data for the objects you're selecting. For example, if you plan to call the
getStats()
method.
You may specify the date parameters using strings or objects. To use strings, specify the date in the form, YYYYMMDD. If you use objects, create an object with the following fields:
- year
- month
- day
For example:
var date = {year: 2018, month: 5, day: 13};
The month is one-based where 1 is January and 12 is December.
The date range is inclusive. If you specify multiple date ranges, only the last date range is used.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
dateFrom | Object | The start date of the date range that specifies the performance data to include in the selector. |
dateTo | Object | The end date of the date range that specifies the performance data to include in the selector. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
AdSelector | Selector with date range applied. |
forDateRange(String dateRange)
Applies the predefined date range for selecting performance metrics.
Specify a date range only if:
- You apply conditions or ordering that reference performance metric fields.
- You want to get performance data for the objects you're selecting. For example, if you plan to call the
getStats()
method.
If you specify multiple date ranges, only the last date range is used.
Supported date range values:
- TODAY
- YESTERDAY
- LAST_WEEK
- LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK
- LAST_7_DAYS
- THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY
- LAST_14_DAYS
- LAST_30_DAYS
- LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT
- THIS_MONTH
- LAST_MONTH
- ALL_TIME
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
dateRange | String | The predefined date range string that specifies the performance data to include in the selector. The predefined date-range string is case sensitive. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
AdSelector | Selector with date range applied. |
get
Gets an iterator used to iterate through the list of ads.
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
AdIterator | An iterator used to iterate through the selected ads. |
orderBy(String orderBy)
Applies the specified ordering to the selected ads.
Specify the orderBy parameter in the form, "columnName orderDirection" where:
- columnName is one of the supported columns.
- orderDirection is the order to sort the results in. Set to ASC to order the results in ascending order or DESC to order the results in descending order. The default is ASC.
For example, the following call returns ads in ascending order by AverageCpc.
selector = selector.orderBy("AverageCpc");
Selectors support ordering entities by one field only. You may not order the list of entities by field x, and within x by field y, and so on. If you specify more than one orderBy()
call in a chain or in separate selector calls, Scripts orders the list of entities using the field specified in the last orderBy()
call.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
orderBy | string | The ordering to apply. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
AdSelector | Selector with ordering applied. |
withCondition(String condition)
Applies filter criteria to the ads.
Specify the condition parameter in the form, "columnName operator value" where:
- columnName is one of the supported Columns. If columName is set to a performance metric column name, you must specify a date range using forDateRange(String dateRange) or forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo).
- operator is one of the supported operators.
Operators
The operator that you use depends on the column's type. Operators are case-sensitive. For example, use STARTS_WITH instead of starts_with.
Operators for columns that contain integers and long values:
<
<=
>
>=
=
!=
Operators for columns that contain double values:
<
>
Operators for columns that contain string values:
=
!=
STARTS_WITH
STARTS_WITH_IGNORE_CASE
CONTAINS
CONTAINS_IGNORE_CASE
DOES_NOT_CONTAIN
DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE
Operators for columns that contain enumeration values:
=
!=
IN []
NOT_IN []
Operators for columns that contain an array of strings:
CONTAINS_ALL
CONTAINS_ANY
CONTAINS_NONE
Supported Columns
Supported columns for filtering ads. The column names are case sensitive.
The following are the performance metrics columns you may specify.
Column | Type | Example |
---|---|---|
AbsoluteTopImpressionRate | double | withCondition("AbsoluteTopImpressionRate > 0.25") |
AverageCpc | double | withCondition("AverageCpc < 2.75") |
AverageCpm | double | withCondition("AverageCpm > 0.65") |
ClickConversionRate | double | withCondition("ClickConversionRate > 0.25") |
Clicks | long | withCondition("Clicks >= 33") |

Cost | double | withCondition("Cost > 3.25") The cost is in the account's currency. |
Ctr | double | withCondition("Ctr > 0.05") The CTR is in the range 0..1, so use 0.05 for a 5% CTR. |

withIds(string[] ids)
Gets ads with the specified IDs.
You may apply one or more conditions to a selector. A chain of conditions is considered an AND operation. For example, the entity is selected only if condition A is true AND condition B is true. For example, the following call selects only ad 33333.
var selector = AdsApp.ads()
.withIds([11111, 22222, 33333])
.withIds([33333, 44444, 55555]);

withLimit(int limit)
Gets the top n ads that match the selection criteria.
Arguments
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
limit | int | The number of ads to return. The actual number may be less. |
