Geo Location id, related to getting a reach estimate

[zirho6]

I have a problem with getting reach estimate, especially with geo location id.

It does not work with location id that I retrieve from geo location search api.

result for search query: ‘los angeles’ is below
it’s id is 3b77caf94bfc81fe

{ "id": "3b77caf94bfc81fe", "url": "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/3b77caf94bfc81fe.json", "place_type": "city", "name": "Los Angeles", "full_name": "Los Angeles, CA", "country_code": "US", "country": "United States", "contained_within": [{ "id": "e4315a8602024dcb", "url": "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/geo/id/e4315a8602024dcb.json", "place_type": "admin", "name": "Los Angeles CA", "full_name": "Los Angeles CA", "country_code": "US", "country": "United States", "centroid": [-117.27758603727, 35.4554705], "bounding_box": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [-119.500953, 32.75039], [-119.500953, 38.160551], [-114.29889, 38.160551], [-114.29889, 32.75039], [-119.500953, 32.75039] ] ] }, "attributes": {} }], "centroid": [-118.28758739337, 34.0207895], "bounding_box": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [-118.668404, 33.704538], [-118.668404, 34.337041], [-118.155409, 34.337041], [-118.155409, 33.704538], [-118.668404, 33.704538] ] ] }, "attributes": {} }

So I put this ID to reach estimate api.

"data": { "product_type": "PROMOTED_TWEETS", "currency": "USD", "objective": "TWEET_ENGAGEMENTS", "campaign_daily_budget_amount_local_micro": 10000, "broad_keywords": "dog", "locations": "3b77caf94bfc81fe" }
I get the result with error that saying

“Location(s) 3b77caf94bfc81fe was not found”

So I tried to use contained_with.id instead. It works.

What is a difference between those two?

Hi,

The location you should pass is the “targeting_criteria” location you retrieve from https://dev.twitter.com/ads/reference/get/targeting_criteria/locations, because that is the ID you will use to set up Ad Targeting.

Thanks,

John

Thank you @JBabichJapan
That solved my problem.

One more question.
Let’s say I got a targeting_value of a location from the endpoint.

      "country_code": "US",
      "location_type": "CITY",
      "name": "Portland OR, OR, USA",
      "targeting_type": "LOCATION",
      "targeting_value": "b6b8d75a320f81d9

Then I have saved only the targeting_value ,b6b8d75a320f81d9, in DB.

Later, If I want to get location name, what endpoint I have to use to retrieve it?
It seems there is nothing I can use in ads-api, am I right?

Thanks again.
