Dear Google Ads API Support Team,
I am reaching out to request assistance with an issue I'm encountering
while creating a *YouTube campaign* using the *Google Ads API*. Below is
the request data I am using to create the campaign:
{
"start_date": "2025-01-15",
"end_date": "2025-02-15",
"name": "T ef e4",
"status": "PAUSED",
"advertising_channel_type": "VIDEO",
"campaign_budget": "customers/5522941096/campaignBudgets/14233235654",
"bidding_strategy": "customers/5522941096/biddingStrategies/11402151791",
"network_settings": {
"target_google_search": false,
"target_search_network": false,
"target_youtube_search": false,
"target_youtube_watch": true
}
}
*Error Response:*
{
"message": "Failed to create campaign.",
"details": {
"errors": [
{
"error_code": {
"context_error": "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT"
},
"message": "The operation is not allowed for the given
context.",
"trigger": {
"int64_value": "11402151791"
},
"location": {
"field_path_elements": [
{
"field_name": "operations",
"index": 0
},
{
"field_name": "create"
},
{
"field_name": "bidding_strategy"
}
]
}
},
{
"error_code": {
"mutate_error": "MUTATE_NOT_ALLOWED"
},
"message": "Mutates are not allowed for the requested
resource.",
"trigger": {
"string_value": "VIDEO"
},
"location": {
"field_path_elements": [
{
"field_name": "operations",
"index": 0
}
]
}
}
],
"request_id": "1jCeFjzGuojHUvZMwY78sw"
}
}
*Issue Summary*
The error seems to be related to the *bidding strategy* and the *advertising
channel type* set to VIDEO. Specifically:
1.
*OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT*
- Triggered by the *bidding strategy* in the request.
2.
*MUTATE_NOT_ALLOWED*
- Related to the *campaign type* set as VIDEO.
I am following the documentation for creating a *YouTube video campaign*,
but the API does not seem to accept the request as expected.
Could you please clarify if there are specific restrictions for the *bidding
strategy* or if there is a different approach I should take to successfully
create a *YouTube campaign*?
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance on
resolving this issue.
Best regards,
Alaa Al-Midani
