update ad with REST throws fieldMask error

[Antonio Cortina]

Hi,

Im using google ads api REST in an angular + node app.

I can modify final_urls from google ads but not expanded_text_ad properties. I tried several paths and I cant achieve it.

This is part of my code in node with the endpoint and payload object:

    const url = 'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v6/customers/' + dataIn.customerId + '/ads:mutate';

    let data = { 

      "operations": [

        { 

          "updateMask": "final_urls, expanded_text_ad.description",

          "update": {

            "resourceName": dataIn.advert['ad']['resourceName'],

            "final_urls": dataIn.advert['ad']['finalUrls'],

            "expanded_text_ad": {

              "description": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['description']

            } 

          } 

        } 

      ] 

    };

This is the error:

{"code":400,"message":"Request contains an invalid argument.","status":"INVALID_ARGUMENT","details":[{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v6.errors.GoogleAdsFailure","errors":[{"errorCode":{"fieldMaskError":"FIELD_NOT_FOUND"},"message":"The field mask contained an invalid field: ' expanded_text_ad.description'.","location":{"fieldPathElements":[{"fieldName":"operations","index":0}]}}]}]}

I read this documentation about fieldMask but i dont know what im doing wrong:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/php/src/Google/Protobuf/FieldMask.php

Can you help me?

PD: I know that client libraries generates fieldMasks path but i cant use them.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for reaching out. Could you please confirm you are not making API calls using the third party Node.js client library? Please make sure the resource name you are using is following this pattern: customers/{customer_id}/ads/{ad_id}. Please also give it a try to use expanded_text_ad instead of expanded_text_ad.description for the updateMask field. 

Thanks and regards,

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for sending these details.

You can try and review this documentation for more information on how you can implement REST and include the necessary fields/details for your request.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your response, but i think that i cant do so much with this info:

"GoogleAdsGoogleadsV6Services__AdOperation": { "id": "GoogleAdsGoogleadsV6Services__AdOperation", "properties": { "update": { "$ref": "GoogleAdsGoogleadsV6Resources__Ad", "description": "Update operation: The ad is expected to have a valid resource name in this format: `customers/{customer_id}/ads/{ad_id}`" }, "updateMask": { "format": "google-fieldmask", "description": "FieldMask that determines which resource fields are modified in an update.", "type": "string" } }, "type": "object", "description": "A single update operation on an ad." },

I read this google groups thread https://www.mail-archive.com/adwor...@googlegroups.com/msg83318.html where in fieldMask uses () to name all fields of a compound object. If I do this i dont receive an error response but the fields doesnt update:

    const url = 'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v6/customers/' + dataIn.customerId + '/ads:mutate';

    let data = {

      "operations": [

        {

          "updateMask": "finalUrls, expandedTextAd()",

          "update": {

            "resourceName": dataIn.advert['ad']['resourceName'],

            "finalUrls": dataIn.advert['ad']['finalUrls'],

            "expandedTextAd": {

              "description": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['description'],

              "description2": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['description2'],

              "headlinePart1": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['headlinePart1'],

              "headlinePart2": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['headlinePart2'],

              "headlinePart3": dataIn.advert['ad']['expandedTextAd']['headlinePart3']

            }

          }

        }

      ]

    };

Do you have any idea?

Thanks
