including Locations when creating a campaign via REST

[Dev Dev]

Hola,
How can I include locations in a new project that I create via REST?
Specifically DMAs

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. You can target locations while creating campaigns by using customers.campaignCriteria.mutate. You can specify 'location' as the CampaignCriterion in your request.

thanks for your reply.

Is it done via the geoTargetConstant? 
I need to add locations by DMA value. does every DMA have criterion_id? if so, how do know what that id is?

can I add multiple DMAs as an array?

Hi Matan,

The  geo_target_constant report lists DMA Regions, while we don't have a CSV file of DMA regions. 

Here's a sample REST DMA location criteria creation as an array of operations, I just used this in my test account:

curl -i --request POST https://googleads.googleapis.com/v10/customers/<OPERATING_CUSTOMER_PLACEHOLDER>/campaignCriteria:mutate \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "login-customer-id: <LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID_PLACEHOLDER>" \
--header "developer-token: <DEVELOPER_TOKEN_PLACEHOLDER>" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN_PLACEHOLDER>" \

--data '{
    "operations": [
          { 
                    "create": {
"campaign": "customers/<OPERATING_CUSTOMER_PLACEHOLDER>/campaigns/16252085032",
"location": {
                "geoTargetConstant": "geoTargetConstants/200501",
          },
           },
},
 {
          "create": {
"campaign": "customers/<OPERATING_CUSTOMER_PLACEHOLDER>/campaigns/16252085032",
"location": {
                "geoTargetConstant":"geoTargetConstants/200531",
          },
           },
},

    ],
"responseContentType": "MUTABLE_RESOURCE"
}
