MISSING_FEEDMAPPING_FOR_PLACEHOLDER_TYPE

[Milo Hou]

I'm trying to create a new campaign feed. It has historically worked but recently began to fail. Here is the soap request and response.

Hi,

The error below indicates that you did not yet create a FeedMapping with placeholderType 1 (sitelinks) for your feed. Please create that FeedMapping and then try creating the CampaignFeed again.

Thanks,

Josh, AdWords API Team

Thanks Josh.

How do I check in the future if a feedmapping exists?

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

You can check for the FeedMapping by issuing a FeedMappingService.get or FeedMappingService.query call with the following predicates:

• FeedId EQUALS your_feed_id
• PlaceholderType EQUALS 1 (or whichever placeholder type you're using)
• Status EQUALS ENABLED
