Internal (500) Error when requesting change data

I'm trying to pull change data via the API and have been routinely encountering '500 Internal errors' for the past three weeks. This exact query has been running without issue for over 2 years. I've included the debug output for the request and response below. I realize there have been other si

Re: Missing Ad Group Labels

Was this issue ever resolved? I'm encountering the same thing in that I can see the ad group labels in the UI but they're not being retrieved when I request them via the API. Thanks. Scott On Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at 1:33:53 PM UTC-5 Google Ads API Forum Advisor wrote: > Hi Per, > > Thank

Re: Duplicate An Ad Group

Thanks for your response. I do know how to pull the information I'm looking for in terms of existing ad group criteria. My question pertains to how these criteria can be assigned to a new ad group. Specifically, rather than having to recreate all of the existing criteria under the new ad group

Duplicate An Ad Group

I'm attempting to programmatically duplicate ad groups using Python and the Ads APIs. I understand there is no copy/paste functionality similar to what's available via the UI, so I'm thinking I'll have to rely on resource-specific mutate services to generate ad groups and ads. However, with reg

Authorization error when adding keyword via MutateAdGroup

I'm attempting to add a negative keyword to a specific ad group but am receiving an authorization error ("The user does not have permission to perform this action on the resource or call a method."). I'm able to add keywords via Google Ads (ads.google.com). I'm also able to successfully retriev

Re: Keyword and Search Term View Yield Different Metrics

Hey Mat, I think you nailed it. If I pull data at the ad group level I can get the metrics to match what was retrieved by keyword. However, when search term is included in the query the numbers are significantly reduced. Thanks. Scott On Monday, October 25, 2021 at 4:21:16 AM UTC-5 Mat wrote:

Keyword and Search Term View Yield Different Metrics

Hi All, I'm using the Ads API to pull performance data (e.g., impressions, clicks, cost, etc.). When I retrieve the data using the keyword_view the impressions and cost metrics in particular are greater than what is returned using the search_term_view for the same time period. I've included th

It looks like a new recommendation type has been added but not yet reflected in the Enum. Specifically, the value 18 (RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD?) is being returned from a query but isn't part of the Enum. However, it does appear in the documentation (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/refe
