Thanks John and team for the support.
Awesome, thanks for sharing this with the community!
Thank you so much team Sprinklr for making this available and doing such a solid job on it!
Love this, can’t wait to see adoption grow!
Is there a .jar file anywhere so this can be easily integrated into a current Java web application?
is there any jar and example program available somewhere
Hi folks, FYI there will be new updates released to this SDK relatively soon. Please keep your eyes out for those.
The jar can be found from http://central.maven.org/maven2/com/sprinklr/twitter4j-ads/1.0/ but since the SDK is still in an early state I highly recommend to participate in the community around this SDK at https://github.com/sprinklr-inc/twitter4j-ads (to make it successful in a true open source sense!).
Thanks,
John
Just had a play with the Jar file. Buggy as hell. Can’t even get past the initial sample code on GitHub for listing all Campaigns within an account. The Javadoc is useless. I was full of hope when the .jar file came out and left disappointed (again). Sorry to be so negative, but seriously, this should just work. I’ll give this another try when v.2.0 comes out when all the bugs have been ironed out and the documentation is better. It’s a shame.
I don’t think that a company, with its own goals, had made the effort to release an project as opensource is a shame
For sure for them it had taken a lot of time.
Please be more respectfull with others work.
I’m not criticizing the guys who built this, good on to them for open sourcing this. As you have mentioned though, they are a company have their own goals, of which supporting the Twitter API is likely at the bottom of this list. My gripe here is that Twitter is not leading this internally and putting the resources behind this as a company that is needed. Flying the flag of open source is simply showing that Twitter isn’t committed to developing the Ads API and isn’t willing to put any resources behind it and simply wants other people to build a direct revenue model for Twitter. It’s a joke. This isn’t just me whining about this, I want this to be taken on board and I want to see Twitter put some serious resources behind this. I’m sat here running a technology company and have tried on multiple occasions to integrate the Twitter Ads API into our platform and have simply given up as it’s just a pain to work with.
@MickCropper can you elaborate on this a little please, we would be happy to help you out, we can connect and get all the challenges you are facing integrating the Jar
@MickCropper lets get past this and think of it as a bad start, being one of the contributors i will be happy to help you integrate the same and make any changes as suggested, the Twitter staff/company is not to blame on this, they gave us their full support and whatever ends are loose we need to address them
Thanks for the help @abhishek_pyro appreciate it. What’s the best route here? Report bugs on GitHub? Or drop you an email?
@MickCropper yes you can drop me an email on abhishekanand100@gmail.com with all the details, also just to confirm did you try running the test given in the examples package, since you mentioned getting all campaigns, the details need to be provided in the ConfigurationBuilder (present in the BaseAdsTest Class, App related info), did it not fetch the campaigns even then?
Thanks @abhishek_pyro I’ll drop you an email with full details. Not managed to build the code samples even with various configurations.
@MickCropper just got your mail, starting a thread to resolve this conversation
Thanks @abhishek_pyro issue resolved. There are a couple of dependencies that need adding into your project for anyone else who is having issues. Make sure you import the google-collections.jar file and also guava-19.0.jar. Documentation is being updated to include this information for future use too.
@MickCropper I am glad the issue is resolved. I would recommend managing dependencies using gradle or maven. It could be possible that we chang a dependency (upgraded version) in the project and the stuff that you have written breaks. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3589562/why-maven-what-are-the-benefits you can find a lot of articles stating why you do should do that.
We have been working on the new version i.e 2.0 and would be releasing it shortly with more API’s, optimizations and minor fixes. I would encourage you to report any bugs you find on github, it will help in keeping track of the progress and increase visibility.
We would still keep the dependencies updated in the documentation.
First of all let me congratulate you for the great work you have done with the Java SDK. It is really amazing! I’m relatively new to it and I have some doubts after conducting my firsts tests.
According to the documentation (https://dev.twitter.com/ads/analytics/metrics-and-segmentation), certain segmentation types (CITIES, DEVICES, PLATFORM_VERSIONS, POSTAL_CODES, REGIONS) require an additional parameter (country or platform, depending on the case). How can I pass the additional parameter? Apparently the method TwitterAdsStatApi.createAsyncJob() only takes an optional TwitterSegmentationType value, so I’m always getting an error when trying to segment by the types previously mentioned.
In the class twitter4j.models.MetricGroup.java the group LIFE_TIME_VALUE_MOBILE_CONVERSION is commented out, while it is present in the documentation. Not sure if it is going to be deprecated or if I’m missing something.
In my tests the metric mobile_conversion_logins is not present in the returned results. Not sure if this is because of my Ads account or it is something else. The point is it is the only missing MOBILE_CONVERSION metric.
In the class twitter4j.models.ads.TwitterAdObjective.java I’m missing the objective “Awareness”. I guess this objective was added after the Java SDK was released.
Many thanks in advance for your comments, Luis
