ADD_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED for Smart Display Campaigns

[Matheus Abegg]

I'm not being able to create Smart Display Campaigns using the API for one of my sub-accounts. 

I know about the eligibility requirements but since I'm able to create such campaigns using the GUI, I was wondering if this limitation applies for the API only or if there could something else I'm missing. 

Note: To use Smart Display campaigns, your account needs to meet the conversion-based eligibility requirements: at least 50 conversions on the Display Network—or at least 100 conversions on the Search Network—in the last 30 days.

I can use the API to create Smart Display Campaigns for other accounts and I can manage ads and ad groups for the account which I'm having issues. 

Are the eligibility requirements applied differently on the API and on the GUI?

If not, what else could I check to try and solve this issue?

Thanks,

Hi Matheus,

The eligibility requirements of your Google Ads account should apply in both the Google Ads UI and the AdWords API. Also, could you confirm if my understanding is correct that you are indeed using the AdWords API? If I am correct and so I can further investigate, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs that was generated when the error occurred?

If you are using the Google Ads API, you may send to me the complete JSON logs instead. You may reply using the Reply privately to author option.

Thanks and regards,
