InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR with getBulkKeywordIdeas

[Ari]

Hi,

I'm using the getBulkKeywordIdeas function from the TargetingIdeaService and I'm constantly getting an "InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR".

I even tried removing required fields from the selector to see if I'd get a new error but I don't.

Here's the code I've been testing on and I've highlighted where the error has been occuring:

 {

            setClient(1234567); // Dummy Account Number

            string[] Seed = new string[1];

            Seed[0] = "blue suede shoes";

            string[] urls = new string[1];

            urls[0] = "www.payless.com";

         

            TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector selector = new TargetingIdeaSelector();

            TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaPage tip;

            // URL

            RelatedToUrlSearchParameter relatedtoUrlSearchParameter = new RelatedToUrlSearchParameter();

            relatedtoUrlSearchParameter.urls = urls;

            // Keywords

            RelatedToQuerySearchParameter relatedToQuerySearchParameter = new RelatedToQuerySearchParameter();

            relatedToQuerySearchParameter.queries = Seed;

       

            // selector

            selector.requestType = RequestType.IDEAS;

            selector.ideaType = IdeaType.KEYWORD;

            selector.requestedAttributeTypes = new AttributeType[] { AttributeType.KEYWORD_TEXT, AttributeType.SEARCH_VOLUME, AttributeType.AVERAGE_CPC, AttributeType.COMPETITION};

            selector.searchParameters = new SearchParameter[] { relatedToQuerySearchParameter, relatedtoUrlSearchParameter };

            // Paging

            TargetingIdeaService.Paging paging = new TargetingIdeaService.Paging();

            paging.startIndex = 0;

            paging.numberResults = Seed.Length; // Max 800

            selector.paging = paging;

            

            try

            {

                using (ocs(wsrTargetingIdeaItem.InnerChannel)) wsrTargetingIdeaItem.getBulkKeywordIdeas(shTargetingIdeaItem, selector, out tip); // shTargetingIdeaItem is the Soap Header

                if (tip.entries != null && tip.entries.Length > 0)

                {

                    //foreach (TargetingIdeaService.Type_AttributeMapEntry tap in tip.entries)

                    //{

                    //}

                }

            }

            catch (Exception e)

            { DoException(e, "Google - Suggested Keywords", "Account: " + iAccount.ToString()); }

        }

Do you have any idea what's causing this?

Hi Ari,

Can you share the request id from a failed request? It is part of the SOAP response headers.

Hi Anash,

The getBulkKeywordIdeasResponse "retVal"  variable isn't even being set, that's where I'm getting the error, so I can't access the ResponseHeader property of "retval" so I'm unable to retrieve the requestId value.

public Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.SoapResponseHeader getBulkKeywordIdeas(Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.SoapHeader RequestHeader, Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector selector, out Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaPage rval) {

            Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.getBulkKeywordIdeasRequest inValue = new Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.getBulkKeywordIdeasRequest();

            inValue.RequestHeader = RequestHeader;

            inValue.selector = selector;

            Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.getBulkKeywordIdeasResponse retVal = ((Google.AdWords2009.TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaServiceInterface)(this)).getBulkKeywordIdeas(inValue);

            rval = retVal.rval;

            return retVal.ResponseHeader;
