Hi, If you want to remove the *ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting*, you can submit an AdGroupService.mutate <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201601/AdGroupService#mutate> request with an operation where the *operator = SET* and the *operand* (AdGroup <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201601/AdGroupService.AdGroup>) has:
- id <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201601/AdGroupService.AdGroup#id> = your ad group ID - settings <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201601/AdGroupService.AdGroup#settings> = an array *without* the *ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting* Cheers, Josh, AdWords API Team On Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at 3:41:21 AM UTC-5, Anil wrote: > > Hello, > > Is it possible to uncheck "*Let AdWords automatically find new customers" > via API? *Sending optIn = false via API set Targeting Optimization to > Conservative*. *As you mentioned How can we remove > ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupService.ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting> > from > ad group via API? > > *Thanks,* > > > On Friday, January 23, 2015 at 3:54:45 AM UTC+5:30, Josh Radcliff (AdWords > API Team) wrote: >> >> Hi Nick, >> >> The AdWords API does not have the concept of *ad group type* - that >> appears to be an AdWords Editor feature.
