Hi Ismail,

Thanks for posting your concern to us.

It appears that you’ve received the error "MUTATE_NOT_ALLOWED" while mutating your video campaigns. Kindly note that the video campaigns and their ads are not mutable via the API as described here. You will need to find an alternative to placing these ads such as manually placing them through the UI.

Kindly note that there is an existing feature request for mutating video campaigns in Google Ads API. Kindly note that we won't be able provide a timeline or any guarantees that the feature will be implemented in the Google Ads API.  With this, I would suggest keeping an eye on this blog as we will post any relevant updates when they become supported.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Ismail,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Upon checking the attached logs and investigating on my end, mutating at ad group level for video campaigns is not supported yet. Kindly note that the video campaigns and their ads are not mutable via the API as mentioned previously.  As mentioned before, there is an existing feature request for mutating video campaigns in Google Ads API. With this, I would suggest keeping an eye on this blog as we will post any relevant updates when they become supported.

Hi Yasar,

Thank you for the response. Is there another way to mutate video campaign at adgroup level apart from doing it from UI ? I want to mutate Bid amount mainly

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hello,

Although this is not possible through the Ads API, it may be possible programmatically modify video ad groups using Ads scripts. However, our team specializes in the Ads/AdWords API, so for further assistance on this, I would recommend reaching out to the scripts dedicated forum.

Thanks Matt,

i wanted to know that I m using the below api to fetch all the keyword planner for the particular ad account/customer account but it only gives list of keyword plans "created by you" and not "shared with you" 

import requests

import json

url = "https://googleads.googleapis.com/v8/customers/1234567890/googleAds:search"

payload = json.dumps({

"query": "SELECT keyword_plan.name, keyword_plan.forecast_period, keyword_plan.id FROM keyword_plan "

})

headers = {

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

'Authorization': 'Bearer xxxxx',

'developer-token': '-dev token',

'login-customer-id': 'xxxx'

}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

IS THERE ANYWAY TO LIST ALL THE KEYWORD PLANS i.e both PLAN CREATED BY YOU and PLAN SHARED WITH YOU ?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi Ismail,

Can you please privately send us the request and response logs, and keyword plan data? Can you also include a screenshot of the Keyword Plan UI view showing "Plans Shared With You"?

Thanks,

[ISMAIL TAIBANI]

i have sent you the private message 6 days ago and I haven't got the response from the Team ... can you please look into this

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi Ismail,

Thank you for your reply.

Could you confirm if you were able to receive the email from my colleague Ernie? I asked because he was able to send the below response on October 15, 2021 to your private email address :

"Hi Ismail,

I work with Matt and let me provide support to your concern.

It appears that you can only retrieve the keyword plans that created by you using Google Ads API. With this, allow me to raise a feature request to my team, subject for review.

For the meantime, I would suggest to follow our blog as we will post there relevant updates when it become supported."

Thanks peter.

Got the mail it was in the spam. Although I can understand that right now retrieving keyword plans "shared with you" is not possible via API, Is there any other work around ?

Moving forward to your current question, if you are looking for the workaround in the API, then I am afraid that this is currently not possible. However, if what you are asking is if there is a workaround other than the API, then you can reach out to the product team via this link.
