Adwords API AdgroupExtensionSetting Service WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED Error

[MCC Test]

Hello All,

From Past few days I am getting error like WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED while posting new sitelinks via adwords api.I am using AdGroupExtensionSettingService to create new sitelinks under adgroups.

"[Jul 14 2015 02:23:27.000000 - ERROR] effectiveUser=xxx-xxx-xxxx service=AdGroupExtensionSettingService method=mutate operators={ADD: 4} operations=4 units= server=adwords.google.com isFault=true faultMessage=[EntityAccessDenied.WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED @ operations[0].operand.extensionSetting.extensions, EntityAccessDenied.WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED @ operations[1].operand.extensionSetting.extensions, EntityAccessDenied.WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED @ operations[2].operand.extensionSetting.extensions, EntityAccessDenied.WRITE_ACCESS_DENIED @ operations[3].operand.extensionSetting.extensions]"

Before few days it was all working good suddenly recently started getting error.

Please look into this.

Thanks,

Ronak Shah

Hello Ronak,

Could you please Reply privately to author your SOAP request and response where you are getting this error?

Thanks,

Hi Ronak,

I noticed in the SOAP request you sent to Anthony that you are setting the sitelinkUrl field of your SitelinkFeedItem. As announced in a blog post in May, this field is now read-only, and you should be setting sitelinkFinalUrls instead. Please see the blog post and our guide on upgraded URLs for more information.

Thanks,

Hello Josh,

Thank you very much for your response.Yes I have resolved error by making use of sitelinkFinalUrls . Also I assume that in textAd we also need to make use finalUrls  for setting up the destination Url instead of url.

Thanks,

Hi Ronak,

Yes, that's correct. You'll also want to set finalUrls on BiddableAdGroupCriterion instead of destinationUrl.

By the way, sorry about the bad link to the blog. :) Here's the correct one:

Why I failed by replacing the sitelinkurl to sitelinkFinalUrls?

I just use the sample code:https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201506/extensions/add_site_links.py

and replace the sitelinkurl with sitelinkFinalUrls, the script failed:

suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Unmarshalling Error: cvc-complex-type.2.3: Element 'ns0:sitelinkFinalUrls' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only. '

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

That won't quite work because sitelinkUrl is a string element, but sitelinkFinalUrls is an array of URLs. Please try passing your final URL as a single element array instead and post back if that does not resolve the issue for you.

I am getting the same error using version v201502:


Are the examples here:
https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords/v201502/extensions/add_site_links.py#L55

wrong?

I tried to replace with sitelinkFinalUrls as suggested in an answer and I get the same as a user below:

suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Unmarshalling Error: cvc-complex-type.2.3: Element 'ns0:sitelinkFinalUrls' cannot have character [children], because the type's content type is element-only. '

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi,

It looks like that example is outdated. I'll speak with the owner of that library to have that fixed.

In the meantime, could you try making the following changes and let me know if you still run into errors?

1. Specify sitelinkFinalUrls instead of sitelinkUrl
2. Set sitelinkFinalUrls to an array containing your final URL

Thanks,

OK I what you suggested:
1. replaced sitelinkUrl with sitelinkFinalUrls
2. instead of a string I pass an array ( 'sitelinkFinalUrls': ['http://www.awesome.com']


I get a an exception:

Hi,

Sorry, I was a bit off-base in my recommendation.

The type of the sitelinkFinalUrls field is UrlList, so the code should actually be:

  sitelink1 = {

      'xsi_type': 'SitelinkFeedItem',

      'sitelinkText': 'Store Hours',

      'sitelinkFinalUrls': {'urls': ['http://www.example.com/storehours']}

  }

Could you give that a try and let me know if you still encounter errors?

Thanks,
