copy a campaign via REST

[Matan Peleg]

Hi,

Is there a way to copy a campaign via REST? 

The isn't a copy method in the docs, but there is a copy option in the UI.

Hi Zayed,

Thank you for providing additional information.

Upon checking, I'm afraid that there's no way to directly copy a campaign as you can see in CampaignService's supported operations. However, you can retrieve the attributes of an existing campaign by querying the campaign resource using GAQL then adding a filter on the campaign.id field. Once you retrieve the relevant attributes of the campaign you would like to copy, you may use it on a create operation to create a similar version of the campaign.

If you encounter any issues, please provide the complete request and response logs with request-id so we can further investigate.
