How can I add an CRMBased User list to a Video Campaign using the AdWords API (or any Google API)?

[George D Elig]

I've read several discussions that Video Campaigns are not returned by CampaignService (because they are not supported by the API). I also see this in my tests. The Customer Match API documents that you can create CRMBased UserLists and add them to Video Campaigns but how can this be achieved using the API if the campaign service does not return Video Campaigns?

Hi George,

Since video campaigns are currently not supported in the AdWords API's services, then adding CRMBasedUserList to a video campaign is also not supported. Attempting to add a CriterionUserList in a video campaign will result in a MUTATE_ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CLIENT error. You can only do this via the AdWords UI. If you haven't done so, you can follow our blog to receive any future updates like new releases.

As additional information, you can refer to this guide regarding remarketing and audience targeting.

Thanks,

Vincent
