Hi Sunil,

Thank you for raising your concern to my team.

Based on this product level document, all Google advertisers can access affinity segments in Search, Display, and Video campaigns so the error should not be encountered. With this, so that I can investigate the issue, please provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end where we can see the error.

You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Regards,

Ernie John Google Ads API Team
