Is possible to create a youtube campaign via API? I tried but had this error:

Headers: Metadata(content-type=application/grpc,request-id=-Owz_UpfTY44RroyEL2xIQ,date=Tue, 28 May 2019 13:40:51 GMT,alt-svc=quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="46,44,43,39")
Body: null
Failure message: errors {
  error_code {
    operation_access_denied_error: MUTATE_ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CLIENT
  }
  message: "A mutate action is not allowed on this campaign, from this client."
  trigger {
    string_value: "VIDEO"
  }
  location {
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "operations"
      index {
      }
    }
  }
}

Thank you

Hello Andrea, 

The Video campaigns are only available through the reports. The create and manage options are not yet supported. Please keep an eye on our blog for future updates regarding this. 

Thanks,
Bharani, Google Ads API Team

Hi,
Do you know if the API will allow to to that or if is possible to do that using DV360 APIs? 
Thank you

Hi Andrea, 

Through the Google Ads API, it is not possible to create the video campaigns. For the concerns specific to DV360 API, I suggest that you contact them through the contact options available here.
