Hello Scott, I see that you have opened one more thread for this concern. To avoid duplication lets continue our discussion on this thread only. Please find my response below:
The TargetingIdeaError.INVALID_ <http://targetingideaerror.invalid_/> SEARCH_PARAMETERS <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaError#reason> error occurs when a SearchParameter <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/TargetingIdeaService.SearchParameter.html> does not match the IdeaType <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/TargetingIdeaService.IdeaType.html> specified in the TargetingIdeaSelector <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector.html> or is otherwise invalid. Looks like you are trying to run get_keyword_ideas.py <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/cd707dc897b93cf1bbb19355f7424e7834e7fb55/examples/adwords/v201802/optimization/get_keyword_ideas.py>. I ran the same example commenting out the optional lines and able to fetch the results for keyword ideas. Even I ran your code and it works fine. If the problem persists could you please share the SOAP logs(request and response) without redacting any information. Please follow the instruction shown in this README.md <https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/README.md#how-do-i-log-soap-interactions> file to enable logging. Regards, Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.
