Google Ads API: how to remove cpcBid from keyword/ad group criterion (Python)

[Mat]

Hi,

how can we remove a cpcBid from a keyword (or any other ad_group_criterion), to make the adGroup cpcBid the source of the cpcBid, using the Google Ads API with the Python library?

In the legacy AdWords API, we used to set the criterion cpcBid = 0, but this does not seem to work anymore.

Based on this example, I've tried several approaches, but none ot them worked:

ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros.value = 0:

errors {

  error_code {

    field_error: INVALID_VALUE

  }

  message: "The field\'s value is invalid."

  trigger {

    int64_value: 0

  }

  location {

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "operations"

      index {

        value: 12

      }

    }

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "update"

    }

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "cpc_bid_micros"

    }

  }

}

ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros.value = int():

errors {

  error_code {

    field_error: INVALID_VALUE

  }

  message: "The field\'s value is invalid."

  trigger {

    int64_value: 0

  }

  location {

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "operations"

      index {

        value: 12

      }

    }

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "update"

    }

    field_path_elements {

      field_name: "cpc_bid_micros"

    }

  }

}

ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros.value = None:

TypeError: None has type NoneType, but expected one of: int, long

Can you help me?

Regards

Hi Mat,

Thank you for reaching out. The INVALID_VALUE error occurs if you try to fit an incorrect value into a field. As per the documentation, cpc_bid_micros should be an Int64Value. Upon checking the examples you provided, it seems like you are not passing an Int64Value into cpc_bid_micros. This being said, can you try passing an Int64Value and retry your request? Feel free to write back if the error persists

Dave

Hi Dave,

thx for the response.

However - I think that 0 is well within the limits of INT64:

ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros.value = 0

(see my first example in the op)

Hi Mat,

I've tried this on my end and confirmed that you can't explicitly set 0 as an Int64Value.

See below sample code in java:


Feel free to write back if you have further clarifications.

Hi Dave,

unfortunately, I can't open/see the screenshot with the java sample code.
