Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

I noticed that you are encountering the error OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT, which usually indicates that the action you're trying to perform isn't allowed for the type of account or the specific context in which you're operating.

After reviewing the logs of your API request. I have received a successful response for the same request from my end.

Therefore, I recommend that you retry your request. However, If your issue still remains the same, please get back to us with the complete updated API logs (request and response logs with request-id and request header) generated at your end.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Thanks,

Google Ads API Team
