Questions about DynamicSearchAd operations prohibited after March 6, 2019.

[Al]

Hello,

I recently read in the Google Ads Developer Blog that you may no longer create or update DynamicSearchAd instances in the AdWords API after March 6, 2019.

Would it be possible for the team to answer a couple questions that I have which arise from the following statement in the above blog posting?

After March 6th, creating these ads through the APIs will fail with an AdGroupAdError.CANNOT_CREATE_DEPRECATED_ADS error, while updating them will result in an AdError.CANNOT_MODIFY_AD error.

My two questions are:

1. Will the AdError.CANNOT_MODIFY_AD error be returned for a v201809 AdWords API AdGroupAdService.mutate() call if the update is merely a SET operation that ischanging the existing DynamicSearchAd's status field?
   
2. Will a v201809 AdWords API AdGroupAdService.mutate() call fail and return an error for a REMOVE operation that is targeting an existing DynamicSearchAd instance?

Thanks!

Hi Al,

I'm following up on the questions below and will get back to you. I know what I personally expect to happen, but I want to confirm my assumptions before giving you a definitive answer. :)

Thanks,

Josh, AdWords API Team
