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.
