Thanks, please allow me to dive deeper to my question:
*Google Ads API: batch-processing vs bulk mutates* I want to remove a few ads in one server request. What is the difference between: - batch-processing (only async?) - bulk mutates (only sync, shorter code?) I have tried both ways and got errors: 1) batch-processing I've tried to follow this [post][1] about `batch-processing` to create an async batch job for removing multiple ads. It was sent to the server, but I didn't see the sent ad ids were deleted.
