Hello,
I'm currently working on updating bids for Ad Groups using Google Ads API
v17. For most Ad Group types, such as Search, Display, Shopping, and
others, I can successfully update the bids (like Max CPC, Max CPM, Max CPV)
without any issues.
However, when it comes to VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups (used for
YouTube In-Stream Ads), I'm encountering a problem where I'm unable to
modify the bids. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the issue:
API Version: Google Ads API v17
Bid Strategy: The bid strategy for the campaign is set to Manual CPV (Cost
Per View).
Error: When attempting to update the Max CPV or any other bid for
VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups, I receive the following error:
"Mutates are not allowed for the requested resource".
Test Cases: I've tried the same logic on other types of Ad Groups (Search,
Display, etc.), and the bid updates work flawlessly. This issue seems
isolated to VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups.
Current Setup:
The campaigns containing these Ad Groups have Manual CPV bidding enabled.
The Ad Groups themselves have existing bids, and I’m attempting to modify
them using the API.
Code Sample: Below is a simplified version of the code I’m using to update
bids for Ad Groups. It works for other Ad Group types but fails
specifically for VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups:
$query = "SELECT ad_group_criterion.resource_name,
ad_group_criterion.cpv_bid_micros FROM ad_group_criterion WHERE
ad_group_criterion.type NOT IN ('KEYWORD') AND ad_group_criterion.status IN
('ENABLED', 'PAUSED') AND campaign.status IN ('ENABLED', 'PAUSED') AND
ad_group.status IN ('ENABLED', 'PAUSED')"; $stream =
$googleAdsClient->getGoogleAdsServiceClient()->searchStream(SearchGoogleAdsStreamRequest::build($customerId,
$query)); foreach ($stream->iterateAllElements() as $googleAdsRow) {
$adGroupCriterion = $googleAdsRow->getAdGroupCriterion();
$adGroupCriterionUpdate = new AdGroupCriterion();
$adGroupCriterionUpdate->setResourceName($adGroupCriterion->getResourceName());
// Example for updating CPV bids $newCpvBid =
$adGroupCriterion->getCpvBidMicros() * $adjustmentFactor;
$adGroupCriterionUpdate->setCpvBidMicros($newCpvBid);
$adGroupCriterionOperation = new AdGroupCriterionOperation();
$adGroupCriterionOperation->setUpdate($adGroupCriterionUpdate);
$adGroupCriterionOperation->setUpdateMask(FieldMasks::allSetFieldsOf($adGroupCriterionUpdate));
$operations[] = $adGroupCriterionOperation; } if (!empty($operations)) {
$adGroupCriterionServiceClient->mutateAdGroupCriteria(MutateAdGroupCriteriaRequest::build($customerId,
$operations)); }
My Questions:
Is there a limitation or restriction on modifying bids for
VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups using Google Ads API?
Am I missing any special conditions or bid strategies that might be
affecting the bid update process for these Ad Groups?
Are there specific bid types or updates not supported for this Ad Group
type?
Are there any alternative methods to update bids for
VIDEO_TRUE_VIEW_IN_STREAM Ad Groups via the API, or any other constraints I
should be aware of?
Any help or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
