Is there an option to Duplicate campaigns using the api

[Barak Haviv]

Is there option to duplicate campaigns via the AdWords api.
My colleague that work with AdWords admin panel and use to duplicate
campaigns by using C-c C-v
She said that she has this option also via the AdWords desktop editor.
Is there any way that I can implement this functionality using the api
And that it will also copy all the campaigns settings.

Thanks
Barak

Hi Barak,

This is possible.

Read the campaign you want to duplicate:

function GetCampaignsExample() {
// Get the service, which loads the required classes.
$campaignService = $user->GetService('CampaignService', ADWORDS_VERSION);


Then create a new campaign with the same details:

function AddCampaignsExample() {
// Get the BudgetService, which loads the required classes.
$budgetService = $user->GetService('BudgetService', ADWORDS_VERSION);

This will only duplicate your campaign, it wont furnish it with AdGroups
ect. To do that you'll need to repeat the above process in a similar manner
for anything you need.

Can anyone suggest a better method?

Thanks

Hello Barak,

I believe Alan's suggestion is the best. With API access, you can easily
grab a campaign and then create a new one with the same settings, and then
repeat for everything within the campaign that you want to keep. There is
no "automatic" way to do this with a single call.

Mike, AdWords API Team
