AdGroupCriterionService AdGroupCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED

[Zied Chaari]

Hi all,

When I'm trying to add a new AdGroupCriterion, I get this error AdGroupCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED.

You can find attached to request and response log. And bellow the code source.

Thanks,

Zied

using (AdGroupCriterionService adGroupCriterionService = (AdGroupCriterionService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201809.AdGroupCriterionService))
            {
                Gender Male = new Gender()
                {
                    id = 11,
                    genderType = GenderGenderType.GENDER_FEMALE,
                    type = CriterionType.GENDER
                };
                AgeRange ageRange = new AgeRange() {
                    id = 503004,
                    ageRangeType = AgeRangeAgeRangeType.AGE_RANGE_45_54,
                    type = CriterionType.AGE_RANGE
                };
                List<Criterion> criteria = new List<Criterion>()
                {
                    Male,
                    ageRange
                };
                List<AdGroupCriterionOperation> operations = new List<AdGroupCriterionOperation>();
                foreach (Criterion criterion in criteria)
                {
                    AdGroupCriterionOperation operation = new AdGroupCriterionOperation()
                    {
                        operand = new AdGroupCriterion()
                        {
                            adGroupId = 57651502050,
                            criterion = criterion
                        },
                        @operator = Operator.ADD
                    };
                    operations.Add(operation);
                }
                try
                {
                    AdGroupCriterionReturnValue retVal = adGroupCriterionService.mutate(operations.ToArray());
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    throw;
                }
            }

Hello Zied, 

The CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED error usually occurs if you are not specifying the type of Criterion that you are trying to mutate. Based on your SOAP request, it seems like you did not specify the type in your operand. You may refer to the attached sample response log for this operation. Can you please give this a try and let me know if you're having any issues?

Thanks,

Hi Bharani,

Thank you for the attached file.

I reproduce my code with Google Ads API V1.0 and it's working fine.

Just a quick question, do you think that I should use Google Ads Api in the future or continue with Google AdWords? 

Cause between us I think I will migrate to Google Ads 

Thanks :)

Hello Zied, 

You could plan your API migration by following this guide. You could also check the complete transition timeline in the shared link.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
