Negative target gender in adgroup

[Lucas Pelegrino]

Hello there.

I'm trying to specify a negative gender criterion for one of my adgroups, I'm sending the following XML:

<mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">
    <operations>
        <operator>ADD</operator>
        <operand>
            <adGroupId>67746674096</adGroupId>
            <criterionUse>NEGATIVE</criterionUse>
            <criterion xsi:type="Gender">
                <id>11</id>
            </criterion>
        </operand>
    </operations>
</mutate>

And I get back the following error: AdGroupCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can you guys help?

Hi Lucas,

The CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED error normally occurs if you are not specifying the type of Criterion that you are trying to mutate. Based on your SOAP request, it seems like you did not specify the type in your operand. You may refer below for sample request log for this operation.

<soapenv:Body>

        <mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">
            <operations>
                <operator>ADD</operator>

                <operand xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809" xsi:type="ns2:NegativeAdGroupCriterion">
                    <ns2:adGroupId>47976756421</ns2:adGroupId>
                    <ns2:criterion xsi:type="ns2:Gender">
                        <ns2:id>10</ns2:id>
                    </ns2:criterion>
                </operand>
            </operations>
        </mutate>
    </soapenv:Body>

Thanks and regards,

Luis
