RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND during MutateAdGroupAssets

[Evgeniy Lepikov]

Hi support!
I want to remove  link between the asset and the ad in Ap_Add  ad_group. Assets may be youtube_videos or html5_media_bundles. Using AdGroupAssetOperation romove method.
Remove operation: A resource name for the removed ad group asset is expected, in this format:
customers/{customer_id}/adGroupAssets/{ad_group_id}~{asset_id}~{field_type}

For getting ad_group_id  and asset_id I'm using query

SELECT
   ad_group.id,
   asset.id,
   asset.type
FROM ad_group_ad_asset_view
  WHERE ad_group.name = 'Ad_group_1'
  AND campaign.name = 'HS_GP_UAC_Value_Buyer14_WW_1_core_22.04.22'
  AND ad_group.status = 'ENABLED'
  AND asset.type ='YOUTUBE_VIDEO'
  AND ad_group_ad_asset_view.enabled  = TRUE

The result (one asset displaing) is

ad_group {
resource_name: "customers/2309565764/adGroups/135495396669"
id: 135495396669
}
asset {
resource_name: "customers/2309565764/assets/23954537753"
type_: YOUTUBE_VIDEO
id: 23954537753
}
ad_group_ad_asset_view {
resource_name: "customers/2309565764/adGroupAdAssetViews/135495396669~594656045916~23954537753~YOUTUBE_VIDEO"
}

Ok, now traing to make remove operation

asset_id = 23954537753  (taken from query results)
ad_group_id = 135495396669 (taken from query results)
_type = 'YOUTUBE_VIDEO'  (taken from query results)
ad_group_asset_service = client.get_service("AdGroupAssetService")
ad_group_asset_operation = client.get_type("AdGroupAssetOperation")

resource_name = ad_group_asset_service.ad_group_asset_path(
    str(customer_id), str(ad_group_id), str(id), _type
)
ad_group_asset_operation.remove = resource_name

ad_group_ad_response = ad_group_asset_service.mutate_ad_group_assets(
    customer_id=customer_id, operations=[ad_group_asset_operation]
)
return ad_group_ad_response.resource_name

But this return errror message

Hi Evgeniy,

Thank you for providing logs.

Upon taking look at your logs, it appears that the asset that you are trying to mutate using AdGroupAssetService.MutateAdGroupAssets is an ad group ad asset, not ad group asset. Please see the attached screenshot of the UI where I found the specific asset. This is the possible reason why the RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error occurred on your end.

 The issue and provide recommendations to resolve it, could you first confirm which service you used to create your assets? Did you create the assets first using the AssetService then associated or used it on an ad when creating the said ad using the AdGroupAdService?

If yes, then you would not be able to use the AdGroupAssetService to manage the said assets. The ad_group_asset report, also, should be able to return assets created using the AdGroupAssetService. Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks,

Nirmita Google Ad API Team

I am, so what can I do to delete a material in the advertising group, through google ADS SDK?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi,

In order to assist you further, could you please share more details on the statement that you have made 'delete a material in the advertising group'? Do you want to delete an asset from the ad group?
 

Thanks,

[Tommy jarvis]

Ad_group_asset here is empty through GAQL query, but ad_group_ad_asset_view can find out the data.

Because ad_group_asset is empty, I can't delete it with AdGroupAssetService.
