Someone wrote me in private asking which API version we were using. And that's a very good point.
For this specific action, we're actually still using the legacy Google AdWords API (v201809). So, if you don’t have the asset ID information in the error message, you can’t use the same workaround as us. Just to share a detail I’ve noticed, I see that in the Google Ads API v.10 release from Feb 9th a change was introduced as you can read on the latest release note of Google Ads API <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/release-notes>. *"if an asset with a different name having the same content already exists then the asset uploaded will be silently dropped."* What we’re experiencing is that the asset is dropped with an error, not silently. In my point of view, silently dropping would mean returning the previously existing asset as response. Maybe this is working properly if you specify API version 10. I suppose that the change was accidentally/incorrectly released also for previous API versions, preventing the upload of duplicated assets but not “silently handling” for clients with API < 10. If anyone out there could easily test this hypothesis by doing the API upgrade, and confirming if this solves the issue or not, that would be helpful to pinpoint the cause of the issue for the Google team and maybe find a quick solution for the community.
