Baidu Search Marketing Service

This gem is an easy-to-use, thin wrapper around the Baidu Search Marketing Service SOAP API v3.

This gem does not support the v4 JSON API or the BulkJobService.

gem install baidu-sms

Each service is initialized with a hash with three symbol keys:

credentials = {
  username: 'username',
  password: 'password',
  token: 'apitoken'
}

There are three implemented services: ReportService, AdgroupService, and KeywordService.

service = BaiduSMS::ReportService.new(credentials)
service = BaiduSMS::AdgroupService.new(credentials)
service = BaiduSMS::KeywordService.new(credentials)

When you create a report, you'll get an ID:

params = {
  performanceData: %w[cost cpc click impression ctr cpm conversion],
  startDate: Date.today - 1,
  endDate: Date.today - 1,
  levelOfDetails: BaiduSMS::LevelOfDetails::ACCOUNT
}

id = service.create_report(BaiduSMS::Reports::ACCOUNTS, params)

You can reference report type and level of detail by module constant or by name:

BaiduSMS::Reports.from_name('accounts')
# equals 
BaiduSMS::Reports::ACCOUNTS

# and

BaiduSMS::LevelOfDetails::ACCOUNT
# equals
BaiduSMS::LevelOfDetails.from_name('account')

You need to poll to discover if the report is ready yet:

if service.report_ready?(id)

Once the report is ready, you can get the URL where the report can be downloaded from:

service.report_url(id) if service.report_ready?(id)

You can download the report from this URL.

These services are synchronous; calling them will return results without having to poll. Look at the methods in these classes to see the return types and how to call them.

The services have tests - to run them, you need to create a file called credentials.yml at the root of the repository, with this format in YAML:

:username: username
:password: password
:token: apitoken

You can then run the tests by running rspec.
