Remove keyword error

[Emanuele Sacco]

Hi all,

I have a problem with the adwords api for python using googleads for python.

I'm trying to execute the operator REMOVE on a keyword in this way:

...

ad_group_criterion_service = client.GetService(

        'AdGroupCriterionService', version='v201607')

    # Construct operations and delete ad group criteria.

    operations = [

        {

            'operator': 'REMOVE',

            'operand': {

                'xsi_type': 'BiddableAdGroupCriterion',

                'adGroupId': ad_group_id,

                'criterion': {

                    'id': criterion_id

                }

            }

        }

    ]

    result = ad_group_criterion_service.mutate(operations)

...

and an error occurred:

ERROR:suds.client:<suds.sax.document.Document object at 0x7f1c93737ac8>

How can I solve this?

Many thanks

Hi Emanuele Sacco,

The ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED error occurs during the unauthorized invocation of the method. Have you tried using the remove_keyword example from the python client library? Can you enable logging and provide the SOAP XML request and response logs generated and also provide the email address used to authorize the request? Please use Reply privately to author when responding.

Thanks,
