INVALID_ID operations[0].operand.ad.id

Hello Adwords Team, I have a problem with some Ads which I wanted to upload. It always says INVALID_ID operations[0].operand.ad.id. I'm using the simple mutate job service and the new client library 3.0.0 for PHP. There is a batch of 50 operations (25 ADD, 25 SET) which always fails. Last week

AdGroupAdService Selector XML

I am having trouble in using the documentation of the adwords API due to there being no XML examples, to go by and all the documentation only really helps if you are using a prebuilt interface for a supported format in my eyes and doesn't flow like any other API documentation I have ever used.

Hi Halil, Further to what Ewan mentioned, you can initialize the sandbox by calling CampaignService::get(). When you make the first call, you don't need to provide a customerId. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor. On Sunday, 4 March 2012 02:01:17 UTC+5:30, Halil Akın wrote: > > I hav

Hi Erkan, Yes, if data is not available in a single report, then you need to run multiple reports to get the data. You can then join the two reports into one over one or more common columns. E.g. ad group reports and campaign reports both expose campaign id, so you can join the two reports on t
