CriterionError.INVALID_PROXIMITY_ADDRESS

[Antal Kiss]

Hi,

Until recently we could set location targeting with Proximity objects on Campaigns using the AdWords API but it has started to give back the following error message without us changing the request parameters: CriterionError.INVALID_PROXIMITY_ADDRESS @ operations[0].operand.criterion.address.

Example request:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Header> <ns1:RequestHeader xmlns:ns1="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710" soapenv:mustUnderstand="0"> <ns1:clientCustomerId>XXX-XXX-XXXX</ns1:clientCustomerId> <ns1:developerToken>REDACTED</ns1:developerToken> <ns1:userAgent>unknown (AwApi-Java, AdWords-Axis/3.10.0, Common-Java/3.10.0, Axis/1.4, Java/1.8.0_112-google-v7, maven)</ns1:userAgent> <ns1:validateOnly>false</ns1:validateOnly> <ns1:partialFailure>false</ns1:partialFailure> </ns1:RequestHeader> </soapenv:Header> <soapenv:Body> <mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710"> <operations> <operator>ADD</operator> <operand> <campaignId>XXXXXXXXXX</campaignId> <criterion xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710" xsi:type="ns2:Proximity"> <ns2:radiusDistanceUnits>KILOMETERS</ns2:radiusDistanceUnits> <ns2:radiusInUnits>30.0</ns2:radiusInUnits> <ns2:address> <ns2:streetAddress>XXX</ns2:streetAddress> <ns2:cityName>Budaörs</ns2:cityName> <ns2:countryCode>HU</ns2:countryCode> </ns2:address> </criterion> </operand> </operations> </mutate> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>

Has anyone else faced with this issue? Do you have any suggestion for the solution?

Thanks,

Hi Dhanya,

I just retested adding proximity criterion to a campaign and it is now working. I added another campaign with proximity criteria with a different address and radius and with Kilometers and that worked as well. 

Thanks for addressing and getting this fixed!
