AdGroupCriterion keyword error

[Dmitry Omelyusik]

Hi there.

I tried to add a criterion to the existing adgroup using raw SOAP queries. When I try to add the keyword criterion it returns me [AdGroupCriterionError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED @ operations[0].operand]. But when I add any other criterion it works as well.

My SOAP request is:

<s11:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:s11="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

    <s11:Header>

        <ns1:RequestHeader xmlns:ns1="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">

            <ns1:clientCustomerId>xxxxxxxxxx</ns1:clientCustomerId>

            <ns1:developerToken>xxxxxxxxxx</ns1:developerToken>

            <ns1:userAgent>xxxxxxxxxx</ns1:userAgent>

            <ns1:validateOnly>xxxxxxxxxx</ns1:validateOnly>

            <ns1:partialFailure>xxxxxxxxxx</ns1:partialFailure>

        </ns1:RequestHeader>

    </s11:Header>

    <s11:Body>

        <ns1:mutate xmlns:ns1="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">

            <ns1:operations>

                <ns1:operator>ADD</ns1:operator>

                <ns1:operand>

                    <ns1:adGroupId>82965021580</ns1:adGroupId>

                    <ns1:criterion xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809" xsi:type="ns2:Keyword">

                        <ns2:text>title1</ns2:text>

                        <ns2:matchType>EXACT</ns2:matchType>

                    </ns1:criterion>

                </ns1:operand>

            </ns1:operations>

        </ns1:mutate>

    </s11:Body>

</s11:Envelope>

SOAP response is:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

    <soap:Header>

        <ResponseHeader xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201809">

        </ResponseHeader>

                        <ApiError.Type>AdGroupCriterionError</ApiError.Type>

                        <reason>CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED</reason>

                    </errors>

                </ApiExceptionFault>

            </detail>

        </soap:Fault>

    </soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

Can you please give me a right SOAP object for that query?

Hi Dmitry,

 

Thank you for reaching out. From your provided logs, it looks like you need to create a BiddableAdGroupCriterion to add your Keyword to in order to make the request. I was able to do this successfully and have attached the XML header of my request. Please let me know if this solves your error.
