API issue when creating video ad

[Tuong Nguyen]

Hey Guys, 

We are trying to create a video ad into one of the existing video campaign. But I encountered the error message as "Server raised fault: '[OperationAccessDenied.MUTATE_ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CLIENT @ operations[0]]' " We have standard access to the developer token. Would like to know whether is it possible to create video ads using the API or is there any particular restriction for our developer token. Also i have attached the soap request with this email. 

Thank you in advance

Hi Tuong,

AdWords API does not support creating or editing video campaigns at this time; video campaigns are currently supported in AdWords API reports. With that said, you cannot modify a video campaign using other API services. However, you should be able to create a video ad using TemplateAd; templateId = 231 for example, in Display campaigns (not Video campaigns).

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
