Selecting ad groups by campaign name with CONTAINS_ANY predicate type (Python googleads API)

[Preston Hinkle]

Hello,

As the question title states, I'm trying to select all ad groups with campaign names satisfying a CONTAINS_ANY relationship. I assume this is possible since the AdWords API documentation says that campaign name can be filtered on for ad groups. However, when I try I receive the following error: 

GoogleAdsServerFault: [SelectorError.INVALID_PREDICATE_OPERATOR @ serviceSelector; trigger:'CampaignName']

I'm using the AdGroupService's get() method, and my selector looks like this:

{

'fields': 

['Id', 'CampaignId', 'CampaignName', 'Name', 'Status', 'Settings', 'Labels', 'AdRotationMode'],

'predicates': 

[{'field': 'CampaignName', 'operator': 'CONTAINS_ANY', 'values': ['dmageo']}],

'paging': 

{'startIndex': 0, 'numberResults': '10000'}

 }

Filtering by CampaignId works perfectly fine, but CampaignName (and Campaign, campaignName, ...) for whatever reason doesn't work. Any idea?

Thanks!

Hi Preston,

The INVALID_PREDICATE_OPERATOR error indicates that you are using an unsupported predicate for the CampaignName field. You may use the CONTAINS predicate instead of CONTAINS_ANY to filter by CampaignName. Let me know how it goes and if you have any further clarifications. 

Thanks and regards,

Hi Luis,

Ok, I misunderstood the error message to mean that the trigger 'CampaignName' as at fault, but it looks like 'CampaignName' is just the key for the operator that was at fault.

Thanks!
