video Campaign in google ads API

[Krishnadas D]

Hi

i am trying to create video campaign using google ads API  by referencing  https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v10/Campaign this document 

and also i  refered  channel type video https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v10/AdvertisingChannelTypeEnum.AdvertisingChannelType in here 

but when i create my campaign i am getting error like this

[ GoogleAdsError { error_code: ErrorCode { operation_access_denied_error: 6 }, message: 'A mutate action is not allowed on this resource, from this client.', trigger: Value { string_value: 'VIDEO' }, location: ErrorLocation { field_path_elements: [Array] } } ]

and my code is 

const customer = await this.client.Customer({

customer_id: customerId,

login_customer_id: mcc_id,

refresh_token: refreshToken,

});

const budgetResourceName = ResourceNames.campaignBudget(

customer.credentials.customer_id,

"-1"

);

const operations: MutateOperation<resources.ICampaignBudget | resources.ICampaign>[] = [

{

entity: "campaign_budget",

operation: "create",

resource: {

// Create a budget with the temporary resource id

resource_name: budgetResourceName,

name: subcampaign.name + "-budget",

delivery_method: enums.BudgetDeliveryMethod.STANDARD,

amount_micros: toMicros(subcampaign.budget),

},

},

{

entity: "campaign",

operation: "create",

resource: {

name: subcampaign.name,

advertising_channel_type: enums.AdvertisingChannelType.VIDEO,

status: enums.CampaignStatus.PAUSED,

bidding_strategy_type: enums.BiddingStrategyType.TARGET_CPM,

// Use the temporary resource id which will be created in the previous operation

campaign_budget: budgetResourceName,

network_settings: {

target_google_search: true,

target_search_network: true,

},

},

},

];

const result = await customer.mutateResources(operations);

so i like to confirm 

• video campaign is supported in google ads api or not ?
• video campaign is under beta version of google ads api ? may be because of that i am getting error like "A mutate action is not allowed on this resource, from this client." ?
• if it is in beta , how can i request for beta access?
• also i noticed that i have only basic api access , so if i request standard api access it will work or not ?

Hello,

As discussed here, video campaign management is not currently supported in the API; thus, you cannot perform mutate operations on video campaigns, which is why your API request is failing.

You can still retrieve video campaign metrics via the API, though.

As for your following questions, this feature is not in beta and does not depend on the access level of your developer token: it is just not supported by the API at all.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Hi Anurag,

Thanks for showing an interest on the creating Video campaigns creation in Google Ads API. Our team does not have any updates regarding when the creation of Video campaigns via API will be available. However, our team already filed a feature request for this feature to be available in the API. Please note that this is a subject for review and what we can do for now is to advise you to keep an eye on our blog post for the updates and releases.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you may use Google Ads UI or Google Ads Scripts.

Dear Google Ads API Team,

We have been continuously testing the API, but it seems that the feature to create Video Campaigns is still not available. Given the clear and specific goals of Video Campaigns, along with the increasing amount of video content, we would like to inquire when the API support for creating Video Campaigns will be available.

We appreciate any insights or updates you can provide.

Thank you for your assistance.
