Hi, The expectation from AdWords API is that you need to provide only the data that you need to update, and when data is provided for update, it should be complete. In your case, you are providing experimentdata node. For your call to succeed, you need to either
1. Remove experimentdata node so that the call updates just the bid amount. 2. Add experiment id to experimentdata node so you can update both the bid and the experiment data. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
