KeywordSelector
Contains the methods for filtering and ordering a list of keywords. For information about selectors, see Selectors.
Example usage:
var iterator = AdsApp.keywords()
.withCondition("AdGroupName = 'AD GROUP NAME GOES HERE'")
.withCondition("CampaignName = 'CAMPAIGN NAME GOES HERE'")
.get();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
var keyword = iterator.next();
}
Methods
Method Name | Return Type | Description |
---|---|---|
forDateRange(Object dateFrom, Object dateTo) | KeywordSelector | Applies the start and end dates for selecting performance metrics. |
forDateRange(string dateRange) | KeywordSelector | Applies the predefined date range for selecting performance metrics. |
get | KeywordIterator | Gets an iterator used to iterate through the list of keywords. |
orderBy(string orderBy) | KeywordSelector | Applies the specified ordering to the selected keywords. |
withCondition(string condition) | KeywordSelector | Applies filter criteria to the keywords. |
withIds(string[] ids) | KeywordSelector | Gets keywords with the specified IDs. |
withLimit(int limit) | KeywordSelector | Gets the top n keywords 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.

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 |

getStats()
method.
If you specify multiple date ranges, only the last date range is used.

orderBy(string orderBy)
Applies the specified ordering to the selected keywords.
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 results 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.

- 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:
