I am reaching out to seek clarification and assistance regarding an issue I
encountered while attempting to remove Ad Assets from a Campaign or AdGroup
using the Google Ads API.
Following the official documentation, I tried using
both AdGroupAdOperation and AdGroupAssetOperation to remove the specified
assets. However, both attempts resulted in a RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error.
Below are the details of my API calls:
*ClientCustomerId:* 5054672388
*AdGroupId:* 172792091219
*AssetId:* 187901457817
*FieldType:* YOUTUBE_VIDEO
1. Attempt with AdGroupAdOperation
*Request:*
def update_adgroup_status_to_paused(self, client, customer_id):
ad_group_ad_service = client.get_service("AdGroupAdService")
ad_group_ad_operation = client.get_type("AdGroupAdOperation") ad_group_id =
"172792091219" ad_id = "187901457817" resource_name =
f"customers/{customer_id}/adGroupAds/{ad_group_id}~{ad_id}"
ad_group_ad_operation.remove = resource_name response =
ad_group_ad_service.mutate_ad_group_ads( customer_id=customer_id,
operations=[ad_group_ad_operation] )
*Response:*

------------------------------
Despite specifying a valid AdGroupId, AssetId, and FieldType, I continue to
encounter the error. I would like to confirm:
1. Whether removing Ad Assets from a Campaign or AdGroup is supported by
the Google Ads API.
2. If supported, whether the provided resource_name format is correct.
3. Any suggestions or steps I may have missed in configuring the request.
I appreciate your time and assistance in resolving this issue.
Best regards,
Tae Soo Kim
