LabelService xsi:type

[Toms Mārtiņš Sīmanis]

Hello!

I want to create automatized tools for AdWords and I have a problem with understanding of, what is xsi:type?

 label_service = AdWordsClient.GetService('LabelService', version='v201702')

operations = [{

'operator': 'ADD',

'operand': {

'name': CampLab,

},

'settings': [

{

'xsi_type': 'CONTENT_LABEL'

}

]

}]

labels = label_service.mutate(operations)

Variable CampLab is inherited from another function, but the problematic place I have is "xsi_type", I haven't found any information on what that might be!

suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'ns0:CONTENT_LABEL'

This is the error I recieve.

Btw, I am doing this in python.

Hi Toms,

If you have elements in your XML file whose type is a complex type, xsi:type specifies the particular complex type. Are you trying to add a Label or a Content Label? If you are trying to add a content label, you will need to use AdGroupCriterionService or the CampaignCriterionService. If you are trying to add a Label, the xsi_type should be 'TextLabel'. The xsi_type can be found out from the Production WSDL listed under corresponding service.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Thank you, the second thing about xsi_type being 'TextLabel' was the answer.
