Hi Ziv,
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Yes , you were right in the sense that I was trying to edit the age and
gender criteria via the Demographics screen which is for Adgroup campaign
and in code as pasted above, I was trying to fetch them at campaign level.
I corrected myself, but then arises I have these two questions.
1. As far as I understand, by default ( i,e if we don't explicitly specify
something in campaign_criterion) then by default all gender types and age
range should be included. So even in that case, shouldn't the result be
something different than "0" that I am seeing now . ? Please correct me
if I am wrong here.
2. Given that I was earlier trying to modify age range and gender type
values at AdCampaign level in the UI , I tried one more thing , I
specifically set the values at campaign_criterion at code level as follows:
campaign_criterion.age_range.type = client.get_type('AgeRangeTypeEnum',
version='v1').AGE_RANGE_18_24
campaign_criterion.age_range.type =
client.get_type('AgeRangeTypeEnum').AGE_RANGE_25_34
campaign_criterion.gender.type = client.get_type('GenderTypeEnum').MALE
campaign_criterion.gender.type = client.get_type('GenderTypeEnum').FEMALE
But then I see this error to set it itself *"**Error with message "Criteria
type can not be targeted." * Can you please let me know where I am going wrong
?
Thanks and Regards,
Vinutha Nayak
