Campaign GeoTargetTypeSettings for exclude option

[Man Mohan Mishra]

Hi,

How can I access the options of Exclude under the Locations option in campaigns through the API ?

Like I'm trying to set Exclude as "People in, or who show interest in, your excluded locations".

Cheers,

Man

Hello Man, 

I see that you're looking to exclude the Location criteria. You may use the CampaignCriterionService.mutate() operation with isNegative field set to true to set the negative criteria. You may refer to the AddCampaignTargetingCriteria code sample in Java as a reference to exclude criteria. Code samples in other languages can be found here. The code sample illustrates on how to add keyword as negative criteria. Please find sample logs below as a reference. 

Request: 
<operations> 
<operator>ADD</operator> 
<operand xmlns:ns6="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201806" xsi:type="ns6:NegativeCampaignCriterion"> 
<ns6:campaignId>1581311984</ns6:campaignId> 
<ns6:criterion xsi:type="ns6:Location"> 
<ns6:id>2484</ns6:id> 
</ns6:criterion> 
</operand> 
</operations>

Response:
<value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="NegativeCampaignCriterion"> 
<campaignId>1581311984</campaignId> 
<isNegative>true</isNegative> 
<criterion xsi:type="Location"> 
<id>2484</id> 
<type>LOCATION</type> 
<Criterion.Type>Location</Criterion.Type> 
<locationName>Mexico</locationName> 
<displayType>Country</displayType> 
<targetingStatus>ACTIVE</targetingStatus> 
</criterion> 
<CampaignCriterion.Type>NegativeCampaignCriterion</CampaignCriterion.Type>

If this does not address your concern, could you please share a screenshot of the Google Ads UI?

Thanks,

Hi Bharani,

I don't want to add negative keywords/criterion. I basically want to select options under Location Setting (attached in the screenshot) through AdWords API.

Cheers,

Man

Hello Man, 

It is currently not possible to implement the Location Settings through the API. You will only be able to target or exclude locations based on the Location IDs through the API. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Bharani, AdWords API Team
