Hi team ,

I am doing POC(proof of concept) for V13 and following this to build audience ( https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-java/blob/HEAD/google-ads-examples/src/main/java/com/google/ads/googleads/examples/remarketing/AddFlexibleRuleUserList.java ) . But in response I am getting the below error

Error:-

I am not exactly getting this error.

Hi Chandra,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API team. I hope you are doing well today.

With regards to your concern, I can see that you encountered the UNRECOGNIZED_FIELD error. This error means the query contains one or more unrecognized fields.

However, to further check this issue, could you please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end? 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, so that our team can further investigate and provide precise guidance accordingly.

You can provide 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.

Regards,

Google Ads API Team
