Creating and mutating video campaigns

[Mohamad Al kadiri]

Hi, it's still impossible to create or mutate video campaigns using google ads API? if no there is any alternatives?

Thank you

[Trevor Loucks]

Wanted to just add my support for this feature as well. We were extremely surprised to find out creating and mutating video campaigns was impossible with the official Google Ads API. Is this under development?

Hi Mohamad,

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

As mentioned here:(https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/overview#differences_from_the_google_ads_ui), video campaign metrics are available for retrieval in the API. However, video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the API, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups. For video campaign management, kindly do this via the Google Ads UI.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

Thank you for showing your interest in creating video campaigns via Google Ads API. You may use Google Ads API only for reporting of video campaigns, ad. For the raised feature request, what we can do is to advise you to keep an eye on our blog post and release notes for the updates and releases.

In the meantime, you may use the UI or Google Ads scripts to mutate Video campaign.
