Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-10 Thread 'Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum 
Hi Chad,

Thank you for the reply.

Kindly note that we asked for the complete logs (request and response with 
request-id) to be sure that the ads you are updating are indeed ImageAd or 
other types that are not supported through the Google Ads API, as the ad that 
you have provided is reducted and there are other types of ads that are 
supported in updating. However, if the ad that you are updating is indeed an 
ImageAd, then I'm afraid that updating this is indeed not supported with the 
AdService. You may check this documentation for more information.

Moving forward to this "With that though, the bug occurred client-side, on my 
workstation. It resulted in a malformed request, as each path in the field mask 
was prefixed with "update."
Is this the error you're referring to?"

Thanks for this update. However, the thing we are referring to is the 
information I mentioned in my above response.

You may see the links below for the following emphasize words from the above 
statement:

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-05 Thread Chad Wood 
I guess there is this bug I brought up:

By the way, the for loop with the comment saying "Fixed bug", that is 
because the update mask was made wrong... It came out like this by default 
(immediately fails):
update_mask { 
paths: "update.resource_name" 
paths: "update.final_urls"
} 
update { 
resource_name: "customers/00/ads/00094117" 
final_urls: "https://www.example.app/";
} 
So, the for loop is fixing that bug. 

With that though, the bug occurred client-side, on my workstation. It 
resulted in a malformed request, as each path in the field mask was 
prefixed with "update."
Is this the error you're referring to?

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-05 Thread Chad Wood 
Based on your explanation, it sounds like the error I've received is the 
expected behavior.
By my understanding, the API does not support our need and there are no 
alternatives.

"Since you are using AdService 
, 
kindly note that updating ads is not supported for TextAd, 
ExpandedDynamicSearchAd, GmailAd and ImageAd" 
and "So there is no other API that can be used to modify your Ad." 

So, if I may ask, what is left to investigate? How would be logs help do 
anything *beside *confirm that the expected behavior was my result?

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-05 Thread 'Google Ads API Forum Advisor' via Google Ads API and AdWords API Forum 
Hello,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Please note that the Google Ads API manages accounts from the customer level 
down to the keyword level. The API can do what the Google Ads UI does, but 
programmatically. So there is no other API that can be used to modify your Ad.

I would really like to investigate this error further, would you please provide 
us with the complete request and response logs with request ID generated as 
shown in the respective links, so we can check on our end the errors being 
thrown?

If you haven't enabled logging yet, it can be enabled by navigating to the 
Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation(via 
this link 
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/logging#client_library_logging),
 which you can access from this link. For REST interface requests, you can 
enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can provide it via Reply privately to the author option. If this option is 
not available, then send it instead on this email address 
googleadsapi-supp...@google.com.

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-05 Thread Chad Wood 
Thanks.  Are there any workarounds? Maybe a different API?

We've got about 400 image ads, and one of the team members hardcoded utm 
parameters into the final urls. We use a tracking template though, and 
these hardcoded parameters are damaging to data quality.

I'm hoping we can avoid needing to manually update every ad's final url 
through the web portal.

Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

2023-04-04 Thread Chad Wood 
Hello,

At the bottom of my email, I will share my code. 
I am reaching out because I receive an error when attempting to update 
final_url at the adgroup_ad level.

*My code sends operations to your server, like this:*
update_mask { 
paths: "resource_name" 
paths: "final_urls"
} 
update { 
resource_name: "customers/00/ads/00094117" 
final_urls: "https://www.example.app/";
}

*and receives this response:*
GoogleAdsException: (
<_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with: 
status = StatusCode.INVALID_ARGUMENT 
details = "Request contains an invalid argument." 
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer 
ipv4:142.250.72.170:443 
{created_time:"2023-04-04T22:59:21.263110704+00:00", grpc_status:3, 
grpc_message:"Request contains an invalid argument."}" >,

debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer

{created_time:"2023-04-04T22:59:21.263110704+00:00", grpc_status:3,

errors { 
error_code { 
ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD
}
message: "Cannot modify an ad."
location { 
field_path_elements { field_name: "operations" index: 0 }
}
} 

*It seems like the server is refusing. Please see also my code below:*
customer_id = '00'
client = pipeline.gads_pipe.handle.client.client

def update_ad_links(customer_id, client, updates_df):
operations = []

for row in updates_df.to_dict('records'):
ad_op = client.get_type('AdOperation')
ad = ad_op.update

ad.resource_name = row['ad_group_ad.ad.resource_name']
ad.final_urls = row['new_links']
operations.append(ad_op)

fm = protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, ad_op._pb)

# Fixed a glitch... Converts 'update.final_urls' to 'final_urls'
for index, path in enumerate(fm.paths):
clean_path = path.split('.')[-1]
fm.paths[index] = clean_path

client.copy_from(
ad_op.update_mask,
fm
)
ad_service = client.get_service('AdService')
response = ad_service.mutate_ads(customer_id=customer_id, 
operations=operations)

return response



Any idea what is going on?


By the way, the for loop with the comment saying "Fixed bug", that is 
because the update mask was made wrong... It came out like this by default 
(immediately fails):
update_mask { 
paths: "update.resource_name" 
paths: "update.final_urls"
} 
update { 
resource_name: "customers/00/ads/00094117" 
final_urls: "https://www.example.app/";
} 
So, the for loop is fixing that bug.
