Campaign not accepting some InMarket Category Ids

[Chaitanya Kulkarni]

Hi Team,

I am using Google adwords API to create a campaign/ ad group with inmarketing targeting. I am getting the data for existing inMarket categories by using ConstantDataService. While creating a campaign programmatically, I observed that for some of the in-market categories, I get "Invalid User Interest Id" for some categories.

I tried to create a campaign from Google Adwords exmaple library by providing all the in-market categories but there also, I received "Invalid User Interest Id".

Following are categories for which I am getting "Inavlid user interest id":

Hi Chaitanya, 

Thank you for sharing the details privately. If you're using AdWords API, the CriterionUserInterest is targetable for Display campaigns. The shared campaign Id belong to a Search campaign. Could you please try the targeting for a Display campaign and share the API request and response logs for us to take a closer look?

Hi Team, 

I already mentioned that while creating a campaign programmatically, I observed that for some of the in-market categories, I get "Invalid User Interest Id" for some categories. Search campaigns also, with most of the in-market categories, I am able to create the search campaign programmatically using CriterionUserInterest, but for only earlier mentioned 50 odd categories the campaign is failing.

Could you please check and let me know if specific market categories support only display campiagn?

Thanks,

Chaitanya
