Hi, While I look into this, are your ads working as expected when you upload the animated gifs as IMAGE?
The MediaService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/MediaService> documentation lists all media types, but some of those types are only supported in *get* or *query* requests, such as *VIDEO*. It may be that *DYNAMIC_IMAGE* falls into the read-only category as well. I'll find out if that's the case, and if so, have our documentation updated accordingly.
