Setting BidModifiers using Batch Processing

[martin...@auto1.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to set (mobile) BidModifiers using a BatchJob. I therefore create a list of operations and pass them along to the BatchJob. With the same set up I also set keyword bids (which works fine), so I guess there's a flaw in the BidModifier operations.

I don't run into any error messages, but the Batch Job just times out (after 5 attempts). My Batch Job is basically the same used in "add_complete_campaigns_using_batch_job.py" from the code samples.

I already tried it serveral times on different daytimes (yesterday and today).

I'm using python 2.7 and the latest API version (v201601).

I attached you my code. Please have a look at..

• main file: "Bid_MBM_Impelementer-MAIN.py"
  
• the modifier operations are appended in "set_mbm.py"

Even when passing over just one operation the batch job times out. Here's an example output:

/Users/UserName/.virtualenvs/adwordsAPI/bin/python /Users/UserName/PycharmProjects/AdwordsAPI/Bid_Implementer/Bid_MBM_Impelementer-MAIN.py

{'AnotherTest1': [['huhu', 'EXACT', '1.00', '1.20']]}

CustomerId: 6435062477

AnotherTest1: ['huhu', 'EXACT', '1.00', '1.20']

[]

[{'operator': 'SET', 'operand': {'adGroupId': 22652613613L, 'criterion': {'id': '30001', 'xsi_type': 'Platform'}, 'bidModifier': 1.2, 'xsi_type': 'AdGroupBidModifier'}, 'xsi_type': 'AdGroupBidModifierOperation'}]
