How to avoid PolicyViolationError beorehand in scripts

[Евгений Гардыш]

Hi.

Sometimes I encountering PolicyViolationError during scripts work.

For example:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ApiException: [PolicyViolationError{super=PolicyViolationError.POLICY_ERROR @ operations[3].operand.criterion.text; trigger:'в +капсулах', key=PolicyViolationKey{policyName=ru_biologically_active_additive,violatingText=в +капсулах}, externalPolicyName=Google Реклама, externalPolicyUrl=, externalPolicyDescription=Перед показом это объявление или ключевое слово должно пройти проверку., isExemptable=true, violatingParts=[Part{index=6, length=11}]}, PolicyViolationError{super=PolicyViolationError.POLICY_ERROR @ operations[24].operand.criterion.text; trigger:'в +капсулах', key=PolicyViolationKey{policyName=ru_biologically_active_additive,violatingText=в +капсулах}, externalPolicyName=Google Реклама, externalPolicyUrl=, externalPolicyDescription=Перед показом это объявление или ключевое слово должно пройти пр in /adwords_api/vendor/googleads/googleads-php-lib/src/Google/AdsApi/Common/Util/Reflection.php on line 43

Is there any way to test keywords beforehand to exclude such keywords to avoid this kind of errors?

Can I download Policy keywords lists to check beforehand? Or is it exist some function to check keywords before main part of script starts?

Hi,

You can set the $session->setValidateOnly(true); This will only validate the keyword. In other words, no objects will be created, but exceptions will still be thrown. You can refer to this sample code for validating TextAd and this guide for better clarity.

Thanks for your reply. Already done using setValidateOnly + my own code + try/catch construction to avoid PHPscript stop.

The main thing for all who will use $session->setValidateOnly(true); in their working scripts - don`t forget to use $session->setValidateOnly(false); when you need to continue using working parts of your script...
