The following is the code was used until recently to creating an ImageAd.
(Before this code, the image is created and uploaded to google - it's probably
irrelevant for this post)
The problem is:
Since April, all the ads that are uploaded in this way do not pass auditing.
We called Adwords support, and were told that the API changed.
But *WHAT* EXACTLY changed?
We use v201409.
v201409 is not yet deprecated, AFAIK.
I compared the few example from the code in github, between v201409 and
v201502 , and saw no difference besides the version number.
I did not see a specific example for "ImageAd"s.
I tried to query the API for approved and not-approved imageAds and posted a
question here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/gNRGCgUxYTs
But that answer didn't adress the resolution:
i.e.
1. *why it was rejected, *
2. and *how to avoid being rejected* in the future.
Thank you
Here's the code we use now
operation = {
'operator': 'ADD',
'operand': {
'xsi_type': 'AdGroupAd',
'adGroupId': adgroup_id,
'status': desired_ad_status,
'ad': {
'name': file_name,
'xsi_type': 'ImageAd',
'image': {
'dimensions': [{
'key': 'FULL', # as seen on:
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/MutateJobService.Media_Size_StringMapEntry
'value': {'width': width, 'height': height }
}],
'name': "image_file_name.jpg",
'data': image_binhex_data
},
'devicePreference': 30001,
'url': destination_url,
'displayUrl': display_url
}
}
}
