RE: facing problem with discovery ad

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi Alaa,

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

Please be informed that I have removed your response from the forums as it contains the PII information.

I understand that you are encountering the field error 'REQUIRED' when trying to create a responsive display ad via the Google Ads API.

I would recommend you refer to this guide on 'Creating Responsive Display Ads' for information on the required fields that you need to populate to create a responsive display ad. From the request we fetched using the request-id that you provided, I could see that you have not set the 'long_headline' field, which is required. This is the reason you are encountering the field error. 

I tried to create a responsive display ad on my end using the below request and was successful. Refer to the request and response logs:
