Hi there I'm trying to understand the length restrictions of the destination URL but I'm finding very conflicting results.
The documentation says the API supports 2083 bytes in UTF-8 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits But when submitting the following request: <soap:Body> <mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201302"> <operations> <operator>ADD</operator> <operand xsi:type="BiddableAdGroupCriterion"> <adGroupId>8110491145</adGroupId> <criterion xsi:type="Keyword"> <text>mars cruise</text> <matchType>BROAD</matchType> </criterion> <userStatus>PAUSED</userStatus> <destinationUrl>http://example.com/mars/cruise/23456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456123456789034567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789023456789012345678905678901234567890123456789089012345678901234561234567890123456789072789012323456789012345678901234567890123456789012345/789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234561234567890345678901234567890789012345678901234567890890123456778901234567890123456789089012345677890123456789012345678908901234567789012345678901234567890890123456778901234567890123456789089012345677890123456789012345678908901234567123456789012345678901234567890123456787890123456789012345678908901234567789012345678901234567890890123456778901234567890123456789089012345679017890123456789012345678908901234567789012345678901234567890890123456778901234567890123456789089012345672345678901234567890234567890123456789056789012345678901234567890890123456778901234567890178901234567890123456789089012345677890123456789012345678908901778901234567890123456789089012345677890123456789012345678908901234567890123456789012345678908901234567234567234567890890123456778901234567890123456789089567890123401234561234567890123456789027123813Darren2048</destinationUrl> </operand> </operations> </mutate> </soap:Body> This URL is clearly 2048 bytes in UTF-8 And then this article says 2048 characters. https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2404246?hl=en Then when i tried in the ad words editor I was able to successfully post a URL that's 2083 characters. So what's the exact behavior that is supported?
