I'd like to programmatically pause some keywords within an ad group. I was only able to find how to remove a keyword. After looking at the AdGroupCriterionOperation proto file, there does not appear to be a "Pause" field. Is there a different operation type that I should use?

Thanks,

Hi Ky,

Thanks for reaching out. With regards to your concern about pausing keywords within the ad group, you can use the AdGroupCriterionService and set the status of the AdGroupCriterion to PAUSED. You can follow the update keywords example here but set the ad_group_criterion.status to PAUSED instead.
