Hello, I'm working on sending direct SOAP requests to the adwords API using Perl and Curl. For the most part, it is working fine, but I came across a rather strange inconsistency.
I've had trouble adding an ad group to an existing campaign. So, as a diagnostic step, I used the Perl client to add an ad group with full logging turned on. This worked fine - the group was added and the SOAP XML was in the log file. I then used the SOAP XML generated in the log file for my direct request (using Perl and curl.) Google responds with the following error: <faultstring>Unmarshalling Error: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'campaignId'.... This seems odd. Since I'm passing the EXACT same SOAP from the log file to the API, it should work. The SOAP XML is below (Campaign ID sanitized.) <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; ><SOAP-ENV:Header><RequestHeader xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";><clientCustomerId xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";>741-128-1965</clientCustomerId><developerToken xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";>REDACTED</developerToken><userAgent xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";>Smart Media Corporation Client (AwApi-Perl/2.7.5, Common-Perl/2.0.0, SOAP-WSDL/2.00.10, libwww-perl/6.04, perl/5.012004)</userAgent><validateOnly xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";>false</validateOnly><partialFailure xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";>false</partialFailure></RequestHeader></SOAP-ENV:Header><SOAP-ENV:Body><mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201209";><operations><operator>ADD</operator><operand><campaignId>999999</campaignId><name>Earth to Mars Cruises #BQbs7qEhEEIk</name><status>ENABLED</status><settings xsi:type="TargetingSetting" ><details><criterionTypeGroup>PLACEMENT</criterionTypeGroup><targetAll>true</targetAll></details><details><criterionTypeGroup>VERTICAL</criterionTypeGroup><targetAll>false</targetAll></details></settings><bids > xsi:type="ManualCPCAdGroupBids" ><keywordMaxCpc><amount><microAmount>1000000</microAmount></amount></keywordMaxCpc></bids></operand></operations><operations><operator>ADD</operator><operand><campaignId>129159518</campaignId><name>Earth > to Mars Cruises #CX1J8eCUpF0g</name><status>ENABLED</status><settings xsi:type="TargetingSetting" ><details><criterionTypeGroup>PLACEMENT</criterionTypeGroup><targetAll>true</targetAll></details><details><criterionTypeGroup>VERTICAL</criterionTypeGroup><targetAll>false</targetAll></details></settings><bids > xsi:type="ManualCPCAdGroupBids" ><keywordMaxCpc><amount><microAmount>1000000</microAmount></amount></keywordMaxCpc></bids></operand></operations></mutate></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
