Hello, thanks for your reply, the code actually tries to update an adgroup not adding a new one. I read on the API documentation that in the updateAdGroup() call, if you omit one parameter, it will maintain the original value:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/AdGroupService.html#updateAdGroup I'm only setting the id, and the keywordcontentmaxcpc, that's what I want, but Google returns that error which I don't completely understand, I'm not sure if something I'm doing wrong or some real bug on Google Adwords API. I found an example here: http://google-api-adwords-java.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/ApiExceptionDemo.java // Create an ad group AdGroup myAdGroup = new AdGroup(); myAdGroup.setName("dev guide"); myAdGroup.setKeywordContentMaxCpc(new Long(50000)); That's for adding an adgroup (not updating like I want), but it only sets the keyword content cpc, and not the other (the keyword cpc), which according to the API docs: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/AdGroup.html if we set keywordContentMaxCpc we are overriding keywordMaxCpc, so I'm afraid that setting keywordMaxCpc too is not what I really meant to do. I searched the web for that error and I found only one message that doesn't explain the problem), so I think this is important, since a solution to this will help everybody who had this problem. Sorry if I'm stubborn on this, but I think there's something wrong with that message.
