Yahoo! JAPAN Ads Script | Developer Center
日本語Frequently asked questions
I set the automatic run time (frequency) of the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads script at 12 AM every day, but it runs about five minutes later. Why?The run time isn't exact.
Even though I specified the city/town/village name, I can't get weather data. Why?
Check if the specified city/town/village is a "prefecture name (half-width space) city name."
*Specify location names in Japanese.
I received the following error when running the script:
"Exceeded maximum execution time"
The processing time limit is 10 minutes.
If the process takes longer than 10 minutes, an error occurs, and the script ends.
I received the following error when running the script:
"Exceeded maximum log length"
There is a 100 KB limit for script logging output (*) that you can specify.
If the logging output exceeds the limit, you will receive this error. The script runs to the end without stopping it.
*100 KB=51200 characters
→A line with 50 characters is about 1024 lines of data.
*Example description in the script:
Logger.log('Log output contents') ;
I pasted the "sample program" from Yahoo! JAPAN Ads Script, but I got the following error. Why?
"ReferenceError: main is not defined"
This error occurs when the script doesn't have the main function.
Yahoo! JAPAN Ads Script won't run without a main function in common with JavaScript.
From the main functions in the sample scripts, call the one you want to use.
Example: When using the "Create an account report" in this page
function main(){
createAccountReport();
}
function createAccountReport(){
const accountId = AdsUtilities.getCurrentAccountId();
const startDate = yyyyMMdd;//Write the date in yyyyMMdd format
const endDate = yyyyMMdd;
const report = AdsUtilities.getSearchReport({
accountId: accountId,
dateRange: {
endDate: endDate,
startDate: startDate,
},
fields: ['ACCOUNT_ID', 'IMPS', 'CLICKS', 'COST'],
reportDateRangeType: 'CUSTOM_DATE',
reportType: 'ACCOUNT',
}).reports[0].rows;
for (let i = 0; i < report.length; i++){
Logger.log('ACCOUNT_ID-> ' + report[i][0] + ', IMPS-> ' + report[i][1]
+ ', CLICKS-> ' + report[i][2] + ', COST-> ' + report[i][3]);
}
}

What units of the area can I specify in the weather forecast data?
