search stream Vs search => grpc and protobuf

[sreenumalae]

Hey @fiboknacky As we discussed in the previous issue https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-php/issues/304 The Grpc is recommended or it really needed? As i already mentioned that i cannot add grpc to my php. So, is there any way to get through this? If possible please provide some example.

[fiboknacky]

So do you get an error when trying to run GetCampaigns.php on your server? Does the error go away when you run GetAdGroups.php instead?

[sreenumalae]

Nope In GetAdGroups im not getting any error Im getting a blank page

[fiboknacky]

Do you mean your specified campaign doesn't contain any ad groups? And what errors in detail you got from running GetCampaigns?

[sreenumalae]

No i have groups but wen i load the adgroups in the server i'm not getting any errors and and also no output. But if i run the GetCampaign im getting error

[fiboknacky]

What errors did you get?

[fiboknacky]

And please note that code examples are meant to be run from command prompt, not via the web browsers. So, if you run them directly on web browsers, you won't see anything.

[sreenumalae]

Then how can i do this in web-application. I mean is there any examples?

[fiboknacky]

We don't have any examples to do that in web application, mainly because there are many web application frameworks and each can require different mechanisms to implement. We did provide an example for Laravel in our old library though.

Please let me know if you have other questions.,

Hey @fiboknacky , Thanks for your reply. In AdGroups i'm getting output without using search stream. But in getcampaigns im getting null values

[fiboknacky]

Your code has a bug:

        stream =$googleAdsServiceClient->search($customerId, $query); 
        foreach ($response->iterateAllElements() as $googleAdsRow

You created a $stream variable, but refer to $response. $response is thus null.

[sreenumalae]

Hey @fiboknacky I copied the code from wrong place But I even cross checked my code

public static function runExample(GoogleAdsClient $googleAdsClient, int $customerId)
    {

        $googleAdsServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getGoogleAdsServiceClient();
        // Creates a query that retrieves all campaigns.
        $query = 'SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign ORDER BY campaign.id';
        // Issues a search stream request.
        /** @var GoogleAdsServerStreamDecorator $stream */
        $stream =$googleAdsServiceClient->search($customerId, $query); 
        foreach ($stream->iterateAllElements() as $googleAdsRow) {
            /** @var GoogleAdsRow $googleAdsRow */
            printf(
                   "Campaign with ID %d and name '%s' was found.%s",
                    $googleAdsRow->getCampaign()->getId()->getValue(),
                    $googleAdsRow->getCampaign()->getName()->getValue(),
                    PHP_EOL
            );
        }

    }

Still im getting null Just to verify i added the array also. In the echo count(emptyarray), I'm getting 0 as output

[fiboknacky]

Tips for GitHub: Please use three backticks like this ```php

And put them in the different lines than your code. This will make your code easier to read. I've just updated your reply for reference.

[fiboknacky]

Just to verify i added the array also. In the echo count(emptyarray), I'm getting 0 as output

I cannot find that in your code. Can you update your code?

Your request fetches only campaigns, but your array tries to add ad groups. That's why there are no values. If you need more help on the Google Ads API queries, please contact this forum.

Closing as the solution is provided.
