I developing the app using PHP

$userInterestName = 'customers/1861700784/userInterests/730';

$campaignCriterion = new CampaignCriterion([

            'user_interest' => new UserInterestInfo([

                'user_interest_category' => $userInterestName

            ]),

            'negative' => true, 

            'campaign' => $campaignResourceName

        ]);

 $campaignCriterionOperation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();

$campaignCriterionOperation->setCreate($campaignCriterion);

$campaignCriterionServiceClient = $googleAdsClient->getCampaignCriterionServiceClient();

$response = $campaignCriterionServiceClient->mutateCampaignCriteria( 1861700784  , $operations);

Any Idea why?

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. Some criterion are only valid for certain campaign types. You can query the UserInterest availabilities attribute to check the availability based on context. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions on this.
