Hi team, 
we were trying to exclude website placement at campaign level. by adding them as negative in the campaign criterion.
Campaign type - Video
Not getting request id in response.
And only happening for this campaign.

But we get response -

    "Code": 3,
    "Message": "Multiple errors in ‘details’. First error: Mutates are not allowed for the requested resource., at operations[0]",
    "Details": [

Hi, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum. I hope you are doing well today.

I understand that you are having an error of “Mutates are not allowed for the requested resource.”, however upon checking you also mentioned that you are mutating a “Campaign type - Video”. 

Please note that “Not all campaign types in the Google Ads UI are supported in the API, such as Video Campaigns. Video campaign metrics are available for retrieval in the API. However, video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the API, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups.” as mentioned in this document.

Have a great day.

Regards,
