Hi I'm getting a lot of ad rejections when I use the BulkMutateJobService so I would like to validate the ads first to make sure there are no policy violations. I looked at the docs on the new validateOnly header and it seems this would do the trick but I can figure out how I should use it with a BulkMutateJob...
This post: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2009/12/discover-v2009-validateonly-header.html says that I will get an empty response on success or an API exception on failure. Obviously with BulkMutateJobs you don't get API exceptions but instead a collection of OperationResults corresponding to the list of operations you sent. However, when a result is a failure there is nothing to identify which operation called the result so I tend to filter out all the successful results (which pass back the ids of the ads created in this instance) and that leaves me with the failures. But if the successful results are blank I am left with a set of blank operations and a set of failures and no way to tell which applies to what data I sent... Has anyone had any success using the validateOnly header with a BulkMutateJob? How would you associate the failure results with your original data? (in fact, in general, when you don't get a successful result how would you do this?)
