Usage flow

  • Batch processing involves creating a batch job, adding operations, running the job, and then polling its status and listing the results.

  • To create a batch job resource, call MutateBatchJob, which initially sets the job's status to PENDING.

  • Add operations to the batch job by calling AddBatchJobOperations and use the returned sequence token for subsequent calls to add more operations.

  • After adding all operations, request the Google Ads API to execute the batch job by calling RunBatchJob, which returns a long-running Operation.

  • Poll the status of the batch job using the LRO's GetOperation until its done value is true, then use ListBatchJobResults to retrieve and examine the outcome of each operation.

The steps for using batch processing are as follows:

Create a new batch job

To create a BatchJob resource, call MutateBatchJob.

Java

private String createBatchJob(BatchJobServiceClient batchJobServiceClient, long customerId) {
  BatchJobOperation operation =
      BatchJobOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(BatchJob.newBuilder().build()).build();
  String batchJobResourceName =
      batchJobServiceClient
          .mutateBatchJob(Long.toString(customerId), operation)
          .getResult()
          .getResourceName();
  System.out.printf("Created a mutate job with resource name: '%s'.%n", batchJobResourceName);

  return batchJobResourceName;
}
      

C#

private static string CreateBatchJob(BatchJobServiceClient batchJobService,
    long customerId)
{
    BatchJobOperation operation = new BatchJobOperation()
    {
        Create = new BatchJob()
        {
        }
    };
    string batchJobResourceName =
        batchJobService.MutateBatchJob(customerId.ToString(), operation)
        .Result.ResourceName;
    Console.WriteLine($"Created a batch job with resource name: " +
        $"'{batchJobResourceName}'.");

    return batchJobResourceName;
}
      

PHP

private static function createBatchJob(
    BatchJobServiceClient $batchJobServiceClient,
    int $customerId
): string {
    // Creates a batch job operation to create a new batch job.
    $batchJobOperation = new BatchJobOperation();
    $batchJobOperation->setCreate(new BatchJob());

    // Issues a request to the API and get the batch job's resource name.
    $batchJobResourceName = $batchJobServiceClient->mutateBatchJob(
        MutateBatchJobRequest::build($customerId, $batchJobOperation)
    )->getResult()->getResourceName();
    printf(
        "Created a batch job with resource name: '%s'.%s",
        $batchJobResourceName,
        PHP_EOL
    );
    return $batchJobResourceName;
}
