Request for Support: "The error code is not in this version" when using CampaignCriterionService in v18

[Route66_2 googleAPI]

Hello.

I recently updated my Google Ads API client code from v17 to v18, but I’m encountering an unexpected error. The same code was working perfectly in v17. Here’s the error I get when running the updated version:

Request made: ClientCustomerId: XXXXXXXX, Host: googleads.googleapis.com, Method: /google.ads.googleads.v18.services.CampaignCriterionService/MutateCampaignCriteria, RequestId: SWOL-Ui2pIBXa-EqsxY_Gw, IsFault: True, FaultMessage: The error code is not in this version.

Here’s a simplified version of my code:

from google.ads.googleads.client import GoogleAdsClient

client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_env(version="v17")  # Changed to "v18"

campaign_criterion_service = client.get_service("CampaignCriterionService")
campaign_criterion_operation = client.get_type("CampaignCriterionOperation")

campaign_criterion = campaign_criterion_operation.create
campaign_criterion.campaign = "campaign_resource_nameXXXX"
campaign_criterion.language.language_constant = "languageConstants/1005"  # Japanese

campaign_criterion_service.mutate_campaign_criteria(
    customer_id="customer_id", operations=[campaign_criterion_operation]
)

When I updated GoogleAdsClient.load_from_env(version="v17") to version="v18", the error started appearing.

I checked the release notes for v18, but I couldn’t find any mention of changes related to CampaignCriterionService or MutateCampaignCriteria.

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions for resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

From the provided logs, I understand that you have encountered the “UNKNOWN, The error code is not in this version” error while trying to mutate the Campaign Criteria and also I could see that the code was working perfectly as expected in V17 but generated an unknown error in V18. Kindly note that we have replicated your issue and successfully mutated the Campaign Criteria in V18. So I would recommend you to attempt the API request again.

If you still face any issues, please feel free to contact us.

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02vGofk:ref" (ADR-00278541)

Thanks,

Dear Google Ads API Support Team,

Thank you for your response and for replicating the issue on your side. However, I have attempted the API request again after updating my Python packages to the latest versions, and I am still encountering the same error:

To provide more context, I have included the full source code below. If I change all instances of v17 to v18, the code no longer works.

====================

import uuid

from google.ads.googleads.client import GoogleAdsClient

YEN = 1000000

customer_id = "XXXXXXXXXXX"

client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_env(version="v17")

# Create Campaign Budget

campaign_budget_service = client.get_service("CampaignBudgetService")

campaign_budget_operation = client.get_type("CampaignBudgetOperation")

campaign_budget = campaign_budget_operation.create

campaign_budget.name = f"Test Budget {uuid.uuid4()}"

campaign_budget.delivery_method = client.enums.BudgetDeliveryMethodEnum.STANDARD

campaign_budget.amount_micros = 1000 * YEN

campaign_budget.explicitly_shared = False

campaign_budget = campaign_budget_service.mutate_campaign_budgets(

customer_id=customer_id, operations=[campaign_budget_operation]

)

# Create Campaign

campaign_service = client.get_service("CampaignService")

campaign_operation = client.get_type("CampaignOperation")

campaign = campaign_operation.create

campaign.name = f"Test Campaign {uuid.uuid4()}"

campaign.advertising_channel_type = client.enums.AdvertisingChannelTypeEnum.DEMAND_GEN

campaign.status = client.enums.CampaignStatusEnum.ENABLED

campaign.campaign_budget = campaign_budget.results[0].resource_name

maximize_conversions = client.get_type("MaximizeConversions")

campaign.maximize_conversions = maximize_conversions

campaign = campaign_service.mutate_campaigns(customer_id=customer_id, operations=[campaign_operation])

# Create Campaign Criterion

campaign_criterion_service = client.get_service("CampaignCriterionService")

campaign_criterion_operation = client.get_type("CampaignCriterionOperation")

campaign_criterion = campaign_criterion_operation.create

campaign_criterion.campaign = campaign.results[0].resource_name

campaign_criterion.language.language_constant = "languageConstants/1005"

campaign_criterion_service.mutate_campaign_criteria(customer_id=customer_id, operations=[campaign_criterion_operation])

======================

Could you please take another look? I would greatly appreciate any further insights or advice on resolving this issue.

Thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,

Hi,

As you have mentioned that your code was working fine with the V17 version, please share the complete updated API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end without redacting any information for the same request using the version V17 of the Google Ads API.
