If I have 2 threads which use the API to create campaigns with the same campaign name at the exact same time, what will the AdWords API do? Is there a possibility that 2 campaigns with the same name will be created?

I see that there are error messages for DUPLICATE_CAMPAIGN_NAME and also CONCURRENT_MODIFICATION but this does not tell me if the AdWords API will guarantee that 2 campaigns with the same name will never be created.

Hello Harsh,

It is not possible to create 2 campaigns with the same name in the same account. The DUPLICATE_CAMPAIGN_NAME error will occur if trying to create campaigns with the existing campaign name. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
