Hi Shipra,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that you are encountering an error "The error code is not in this version" while using Google Ads API.

Hi,

Has this been resolved? I have the same issue and it seems a bit random as I have a campaign in which I upload the same data and no errors came up.

Here is the error:

partial_failure_error {
  code: 3
  message: "The error code is not in this version., at mutate_operations[0].ad_group_criterion_operation.create.keyword.match_type"
  details {
    type_url: "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v17.errors.GoogleAdsFailure"
    value: "\n\300\001\n\003\200\002\001\022&The error code is not in this version.\032\010*\006PHRASE\"Z\022\025\n\021mutate_operations\030\000\022\036\n\034ad_group_criterion_operation\022\010\n\006create\022\t\n\007keyword\022\014\n\nmatch_type*+\n)CriterionError.KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE_INVALID\022\026GShrECOBszUTj-1nMZgdHQ"
  }
}
mutate_operation_responses {
  ad_group_criterion_result {
  }
}

Here is the info I'm sending to Google Ads API(mutate_request.mutate_operations):

Operations:

[ad_group_criterion_operation {
   create {
     ad_group: "customers/XXXXXXXXX/adGroups/XXXXXXXXX"
     type_: KEYWORD
     keyword {
       text: "Ford Bronco Sport For Sale"
       match_type: PHRASE
     }
   }
 }]

The error says "KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE_INVALID" but the match type is correct. I tried changing the match type from "PHRASE" (<KeywordMatchType.PHRASE: 3>) to "BROAD"(<KeywordMatchType.BROAD: 4>) and it worked, so it seems the PHRASE match type is not found.

Python library: google.ads.googleads.v17

Version: 24.1.0

Thanks,

Berto

Hi,

For anyone who this might be helpful, I found the cause of that error, the campaign had the setting "keyword_match_type" set to "BROAD", so only broad keywords were allowed.

Thanks,
