Creating ad group ads in Google Ads API, regardless of Destination not working error

[Jamie]

Hi,

Is there a means of circumventing the destination not working error when creating adverts via the API?

We are looking for this, so that when we are launching a new site, our media team can create paused adverts which then on site launch can be unpaused, the site becomes verified that it is working, and the account starts running

I've tried to create adverts as paused within google via the API but this seemingly still gets blocked by this policy violation error.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

To understand and assist you better with the policy issue you are encountering, we would require the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) to investigate this issue further on our end.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
