I'm getting OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT when trying to create a campaign budget using Google ads api

[Faith Amao]

Hi

I'm getting an error when trying to create a campaign budget using Google Ads REST API

Here is my body request:

operations: [

{

create: {

type: "SMART_CAMPAIGN",

name: "bib jjghujjgg",

amountMicros: 5000000,

},

},

],

partialFailure: true,

validateOnly: true,

responseContentType: "MUTABLE_RESOURCE",

And my header:

headers: {

"content-type": "application/json",

Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

"developer-token": developerToken,

"login-customer-id": customerId,

},

And here is the error:

"partialFailureError": {

"code": 3,

"message": "The operation is not allowed for the given context., at operations[0]",

"details": [

{

"@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v10.errors.GoogleAdsFailure",

"errors": [

{

"errorCode": {

"contextError": "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT"

},

"message": "The operation is not allowed for the given context.",

"location": {

"fieldPathElements": [

{

"fieldName": "operations",

"index": 0

}

]

}

}

]

}

]

}

Thanks for your help,

Faith.

Hi Faith,
 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Support team.

With regard to your concern, It seems you have encountered a problem ContextError. That error said, The operation is not allowed for the given context. However, so our team can better check this concern, could you provide the request-id and customer-id to further investigation on this?

Can you please assist me with this

Hi Faith,

Thank you for providing the requested information. I work with Darwin and allow me to assist you here.

Upon checking the information, it appears that you are creating a campaign in the manager account. Unfortunately, in Google Ads API's perspective this is not possible as creating a campaign is only possible on a client account. This is also the reason why the error occurred. With this, please try creating a campaign on the client account. I hope it helps and let me know what goes after.

Best regards,
