Thanks for your response Mitchell. I've tried what you suggested but it still fails to update. Here's the code I'm now trying out, based on the example you sent me:
import argparse import sys from google.api_core import protobuf_helpers from google.ads.google_ads.client import GoogleAdsClient from google.ads.google_ads.util import ResourceName def main(client, customer_id, ad_group_id, criterion_id): agc_service = client.get_service('AdGroupCriterionService', version='v3' ) ad_group_criterion_operation = client.get_type( 'AdGroupCriterionOperation', version='v3') ad_group_criterion = ad_group_criterion_operation.update ad_group_criterion.resource_name = agc_service.ad_group_criteria_path( customer_id, ResourceName.format_composite(ad_group_id, criterion_id)) ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros.value = 0 fm = protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, ad_group_criterion) ad_group_criterion_operation.update_mask.CopyFrom(fm) try: agc_response = agc_service.mutate_ad_group_criteria( customer_id, [ad_group_criterion_operation]) except google.ads.google_ads.errors.GoogleAdsException as ex: print('Request with ID "%s" failed with status "%s" and includes the ' 'following errors:' % (ex.request_id, ex.error.code().name)) for error in ex.failure.errors: print('\tError with message "%s".' % error.message) if error.location: for field_path_element in error.location. field_path_elements: print('\t\tOn field: %s' % field_path_element. field_name) sys.exit(1) if __name__ == '__main__': google_ads_client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_storage() parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( description=('Pauses an ad in the specified customer\'s ad group.')) parser.add_argument('-c', '--customer_id', type=str, required=True, help='The Google Ads customer ID.') parser.add_argument('-a', '--ad_group_id', type=str, required=True, help='The ad group ID.') parser.add_argument('-k', '--criterion_id', type=str, required=True, help='The criterion ID, or keyword ID.') args = parser.parse_args() main(google_ads_client, args.customer_id, args.ad_group_id, args.criterion_id) Here's what the log says after I run this for an update for a single keyword: results{ resource_name: "customers/{customer_id}/adGroupCriteria/{ad_group_id}~{criterion_id}" } Looking at the keyword in the Ads UI after running this Python file, the keyword-specific bid is still there and unchanged. Is setting cpc_bid_micros to 0 in the field mask an incorrect way of going about removing these bids? Do I need to set it to a "default" or "None"-type value? Thanks.
