Hi Shirly,

 

I'm Kevin from the Google Ads API team. I'll try my best to assist you.

 

It appears that the error you've encountered is related to this blog post. Based from the blog post, you will no longer be able to create or mutate Feed-based extensions in the AdWords API or the Google Ads API after the auto migration date. You can check this link for a sample on how to create an asset based extension instead.

Thanks Kevin for the information. That error is fixed.

But getting another error when calling mutateAdGroupAssets (reference : https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/Wk6AKHi-sPw/m/bgW4IL12AAAJ)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Shirley,

I gave an answer on that thread. You can use image assets in ads and not in ad Groups.

Hi Shirly,

I'm also from the Google Ads API support team and I also sent a response in the thread that my colleague Aryeh pointed out. Should you see this thread before the previous one, below are the contents of my response :

"Thank you for providing additional details.

Image assets can be set for certain types of ads, as seen here. However, it currently cannot be used for extensions.

Listed here are the asset based extensions that are currently supported and can be created/managed via the API, and stating that other types would follow later. For now, you may keep an eye on our blog for updates or announcements on when image extensions can be included.

If you wish to create image extensions for your account, you may reach out to the Google Ads Product Support team instead, via this link, to confirm whether this is already possible via the Google Ads UI.

I hope this helps."
