Testing Account Campaign Create issue (Google ads)

[Sudarshan Nivrutti Dhatrak]

Hello,

I have just created a test manager account for google ads and then created a client from the same account. I am trying to access the create campaign Api, but getting invalid json error in response. I am attaching the request and response.

Request :

Hi Sudarshan,

Thank you for reaching us out. I am Sherwin from Google Ads API support team. I hope that you are doing well today.

Upon checking on the response logs, we notice that the Invalid JSON payload received is caused by an Unknown name \"operations\": Cannot find field. With this, what we can do is to advise you to follow this guide in creating campaigns depending on the client library that you are using. Add to that if you are still receiving the error, please provide us the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end? You can provide it via Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com. If you haven't enabled the logging yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

Kind regards,

Sherwin Vincent Google Ads API Team
