Can I apply or remove an exclusion list from a campaign using Google Ads API?

[Lok Lam]

Hi all,

I'm trying to manage campaign-level exclusion lists using Google Ads API. Specifically, I would like to know:

1. Is it possible to apply a shared exclusion list (e.g., placement exclusion list) to one or more campaigns via API?

2. Conversely, can I remove an existing exclusion list from a campaign using the API?

Any guidance, sample code, or links to documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

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

Please find answers to your questions:

• Is it possible to apply a shared exclusion list (e.g., placement exclusion list) to one or more campaigns via API?

 Yes, it is possible to apply a shared exclusion list to one or more campaigns via API. I would recommend you to kindly refer to the Create And Attach Shared Keyword Set guide as it explains clearly on how to create a shared set and attach it to the campaign using the Google Ads API. We have tried this approach in creating the shared set types as 'NEGATIVE_KEYWORDS' and were able to succeed in attaching the shared set to the campaign. You can use the customers.sharedSets method for creating the shared set and customers.campaignSharedSets method for attaching the shared set to the campaign. 

• Conversely, can I remove an existing exclusion list from a campaign using the API?

You can remove an existing exclusion list from campaign using CampaignSharedSetService by performing a remove operation on the CampaignSharedSet resource.

Thanks

Google Ads API team.

Hi,

Kindly note that apply or remove an exclusion list from a video campaign using Google Ads API is not supported. I would recommend you to check this campaigns documentation for more information.

Thanks
