Campaign level ADD Platform bidModifier issue (Python)

[Matthias Baader]

Hi,

based on this example:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/python/advanced-operations#add-an-ad-group-level-bid-modifier

I've tried to add/set platform bid modifiers on campaign level:

...
API_VERSION = "v201806"

campaign_bid_modifier_service = client.GetService('CampaignBidModifierService', 

                                                version=API_VERSION)

criterion_id = '30000'

bid_modifier = 1.6

operation = {

  'operator': 'ADD',

  'operand': {

      'campaignId': campaign_id,

      'criterion': {

          'xsi_type': 'Platform',

          'id': criterion_id

      },

      'bidModifier': bid_modifier

  }

}

response = campaign_bid_modifier_service.mutate([operation])
...

But unfortunately this results in a strange error message:

    response = campaign_bid_modifier_service.mutate([operation])

When I googled this error message, I found this similar issue

https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/issues/270

... where zeep apparently was not looking in the right namespace.

So I wonder whether the problem is on my side or yours.

Could you please look into it?

Best regards

Hi Matthias,

Could you please post your concern in python client libraries issue tracker as the library owner is better equipped to address this issue?
