Hi Ismail,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Could you provide us with the complete request and response logs with the request-id, so our team can better check?

If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link. You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Regards,

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API support team.

With regard to your concern, I would suggest using the AdService on updating the ads details as mentioned on this document. If the error persists with the provided suggestion, could you also provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header that generated on your end? This information will help our team to investigate this further. You can send it via Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

However, if you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

Best regards,

Jinky
