Google Ads client library Python - API

[Diego Villanueva Araya]

Hi everyone,

 
I am working with the google ads client library for python, I would like to know how to perform three specific configurations using the API for google ads SEARCH campaigns, these are the following:

1. Location to São Paulo state
2. Language to all languages
3. Bid strategy to Maximize clicks without a max cpc
   1. Looking at documentation and different forums I found that I have to set campaign_bidding_strategy to target_spend without a value since this is the way to handle maximize clicks, but the API does not allow me to do this. 

On the other hand I would like to know if there is a documentation which allows me to follow examples of the applications and functions of this google ads client library for python.

I remain attentive to your comments
