Set up Service Account in Google Ad manager

Set Up Configuration and Run the Code

Set Up google.yaml in the repository

1. From the root of the repository, set up python3 development environment.

3. Make a copy of googleads.example.yaml and name it googleads.yaml.
4. In googleads.yaml, set the required fields:
   • application_name is the name of the Google project you created when creating the service account credentials. It should appear in the top-left of the credentials page.
   • network_code is your GAM network number; e.g., for https://admanager.google.com/12398712#delivery, the network code is 12398712.

Verify Setup

Let's try it out! From the top level directory, run

python -m dfp.get_orders

and you should see all of the orders in your GAM account.

If you see the error message, ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8, please run

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and try again.

Set up local_settings.py

1. Make a copy of local_settings.example.py and name it local_settings.py.
2. Modify the following settings in local_settings.py:

Setting	Description	Type
DFP_ORDER_NAME	What you want to call this order	string (e.g., 'dfpordername')
DFP_USER_EMAIL_ADDRESS	The service account email for the Google developer credentials you created above	string (e.g., '[email protected]')
DFP_ADVERTISER_NAME	The service account name for the Google developer credentials you created above	string (e.g., 'advertisername')
DFP_TARGETED_PLACEMENT_NAMES	The names of GAM placements you created above	array of strings (e.g., ['placementname'])
DFP_PLACEMENT_SIZES	The creative sizes of all ad units specified in the configuration csv you uploaded	array of objects (e.g., [{'width': '728', 'height': '90'}])
DFP_CURRENCY_CODE	New Taiwan Dollar: ‘TWD' United States Dollar: ‘USD’ Japanese Yen: ‘JPY’ The currency settings is in the Global Settings of Google Ad Manager	string
DFP_NUM_CREATIVES_PER_LINE_ITEM	Maximum Ad Units on any given webpage of your website	number

Run:

python -m tasks.add_new_prebid_partner

After running successfully, you will see this message

Happy bidding!

Then, approve the order in Google Ad Manager.

Note: GAM might show a "Needs creatives" warning on the order for ~15 minutes after order creation. Typically, the warning is incorrect and will disappear on its own.

Limitations

• This tool does not currently support run-of-network line items (see #16). You must target line items to placements, ad units, or both.
• Currently, the names of the bidder code targeting key (hb_bidder) and price bucket targeting key (hb_pb) are not customizable. The hb_bidder targeting key is currently required (see #18)
• This tool does not support additional line item targeting beyond placement, ad units, hb_bidder, and hb_pb values.

• This tool does not modify existing orders or line items, it only creates them. If you need to make a change to an order, it's easiest to archive the existing order and recreate it.

Please consider contributing to make the tool more flexible.
