Can't create partition tree or I just don't understand it

[WDirk]

Hello, I've just linked my AdWords account with my Merchant account and created a shopping campaign, without using a Default partition tree. I tried to use an add_product_partion_tree.py from examples. After adding ID of my Ad group to the code and running it, I received this ERROR message:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I've even tried to check, if the ProductCategoryId exists, by running a get_product_category_taxanomy.py, and it looks all right. And now I don't know what to do, please help me.

Thank you

Hello, 

The INVALID_PRODUCT_BIDDING_CATEGORY indicates that "Bidding categories do not form a valid path in the Shopping bidding category taxonomy". Since you were able to verify that, could you please enable logging and share you SOAP request? You could reply privately to the author while sharing the details. 

Thanks,

Ok, I've sent you a SOAP request ^^

Hi,

You can get the list of valid product bidding categories for each country using ConstantDataService.getProductBiddingCategoryData, where your request includes a predicate for the Country of interest.

However, based on this Google Ads Help Center article, bidding categories are not supported for Czechia, so you'll want to use one of the other product dimensions for this particular Shopping campaign.

Thanks,
