5. Technical Implementation: Using Python, Django, DRF, and PostgreSQL

Setting up the Development Environment:

  1. Install Python and virtualenv:

     sudo apt update
     sudo apt install python3 python3-venv python3-pip
    
  2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

     python3 -m venv myenv
     source myenv/bin/activate
    
  3. Install Django and Django REST Framework:

     pip install django djangorestframework psycopg2-binary
    
  4. Create a new Django project and app:

     django-admin startproject adtech_project
     cd adtech_project
     django-admin startapp ads
    

Configuring Django REST Framework (DRF): Add rest_framework to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'ads',
]

Setting up PostgreSQL:

  1. Install PostgreSQL:

     sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
    
  2. Create a database and user:

     CREATE DATABASE adtech_db;
     CREATE USER adtech_user WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';
     ALTER ROLE adtech_user SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
     ALTER ROLE adtech_user SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
     ALTER ROLE adtech_user SET timezone TO 'UTC';
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE adtech_db TO adtech_user;
    
  3. Configure Django to use PostgreSQL: In settings.py, update the DATABASES setting:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
             'NAME': 'adtech_db',
             'USER': 'adtech_user',
             'PASSWORD': 'yourpassword',
             'HOST': 'localhost',
             'PORT': '',
         }
     }
    

6. Fetching Best Performing Ad Campaigns

Integrating with Google BigQuery, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads: To fetch ad performance data, you will need to set up API connections with Google BigQuery, Google Ads, and Facebook Ads.

Google BigQuery:

  1. Install Google Cloud library:

     pip install google-cloud-bigquery
    
  2. Authenticate and fetch data:

     from google.cloud import bigquery
    
     client = bigquery.Client()
     query = """
     SELECT ad_title, ad_description, performance_metric
     FROM `your_project.your_dataset.your_table`
     ORDER BY performance_metric DESC
     LIMIT 1
     """
     query_job = client.query(query)
     results = query_job.result()
     for row in results:
         print(row.ad_title, row.ad_description, row.performance_metric)
    

Google Ads and Facebook Ads:

  • Follow similar steps to authenticate and fetch data using their respective APIs.

Storing and Managing Ad Data in PostgreSQL:

  1. Create models in Django for storing ad data:

     from django.db import models
    
     class Ad(models.Model):
         title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
         description = models.TextField()
         platform = models.CharField(max_length=50)
         performance_metric = models.FloatField()
         created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    
  2. Run migrations to create the database schema:

     python manage.py makemigrations
     python manage.py migrate
    

7. Using OpenAI GPT-3.5 Turbo for Ad Content Generation

Creating a Prompt to Fetch Ad Titles and Descriptions: To generate ad content, create a prompt that specifies the required tone and character limits.

Integrating OpenAI API with Django:

  1. Install OpenAI library:

     pip install openai
    
  2. Generate ad content using OpenAI:

     import openai
    
     openai.api_key = 'your_openai_api_key'
    
     def generate_ad_content(tone, character_limit):
         response = openai.Completion.create(
             engine="text-davinci-003",
             prompt=f"Generate an ad title and description with a {tone} tone within {character_limit} characters.",
             max_tokens=100
         )
         return response.choices[0].text.strip()
    

Parsing the OpenAI API Response in Python: The response from OpenAI will be in JSON format. Parse it to extract the ad title and description.

import json

def parse_openai_response(response):
    data = json.loads(response)
    title = data['title']
    description = data['description']
    return title, description

8. Building the API to Return Ad Content

Designing the API Endpoint: Create an endpoint to fetch and return ad content.

Implementing the API:

  1. Define a view in Django:

     from rest_framework.views import APIView
     from rest_framework.response import Response
     from rest_framework import status
    
     class AdContentView(APIView):
         def get(self, request, tone, character_limit):
             ad_content = generate_ad_content(tone, character_limit)
             title, description = parse_openai_response(ad_content)
             return Response({"title": title, "description": description}, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
    
  2. Add the URL pattern:

     from django.urls import path
     from .views import AdContentView
    
     urlpatterns = [
         path('ad-content/<str:tone>/<int:character_limit>/', AdContentView.as_view(), name='ad_content'),
     ]
    
  3. Test the API: Use tools like Postman or curl to test the API endpoint.

9. Conclusion

By integrating OpenAI's API into your ad tech product, you can streamline and enhance your ad campaigns, ensuring they are effective and compliant with platform guidelines. This tutorial has covered the technical implementation in detail, demonstrating how to create a powerful tool for automated ad content generation.
