Remove a bid from adgroup

[Pierre Riandey]

Hello,

I am using the python client library for google ads API. In the documentation, to remove a bid it's specified to update the field to null (

https://developers.google.cn/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/bidding/set-bids#removing_bids)

But the client doesn't let met set the value for AdGroupCriterionOperation.update.cpc_bid_micros to something else than an integer.

And thus the bid is not removed.

If anyone has some hints on how to proceed, I'm currently searching through examples in the client library, but nothing I tried is working.

Thank a lot !

Hi Pierre,

this should work:

                        ad_group_criterion_operation = googleads_client.get_type(

                            'AdGroupCriterionOperation'

                        )

                        googleads_client.copy_from(

                            ad_group_criterion_operation.update_mask, field_mask

                        )

                        ad_group_criterion_operation.update_mask.paths.append(

                            'cpc_bid_micros'

                        )

Regards

sorry, forgot to copy 2 lines of code in between:

                        ad_group_criterion_operation = googleads_client.get_type(

                            f'AdGroupCriterionOperation'

                        )

                        ad_group_criterion = ad_group_criterion_operation.update

                        ad_group_criterion.resource_name = (

                            f"customers/{customer_id}/adGroupCriteria/"

                            f"{ad_group_id}~{criterion_id}"

                        )

                        googleads_client.copy_from(

                            ad_group_criterion_operation.update_mask, field_mask

                        )

                        ad_group_criterion_operation.update_mask.paths.append(

                            'cpc_bid_micros'

                        )
