Change target URL through API

[Dominic Asche]

In a preview post a member of the AdWords API team wrote, that it is not possible to update text ads through the API....I can't believe that is true.

According to his post, it should not be possible update for example the target URL of an Ad throuh the API. 

Is this true?

For me this is 100% contrary to the API doku: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/upgraded-urls#introduction 

Thanks for any hints.

Hi,

AdWords doesn't allow you to update text ad fields once you have created it. You need to create a copy of the text ad with modified field values and delete the existing ad instead.
