When I'm creating a new campaign, I get a RequestError.UNKNOWN error if I set the targetPartnerSearchNetwork value to true for the NetworkSetting type. What could I be doing wrong? I don't get the error if I set targetPartnerSearchNetwork to false and the campaign gets created normally. Thanks.

Hi Stepanian,

The targetPartnerSearchNetwork field is only available to select partners. You're getting the error because you're not on that list of partners. In your case, you'll either have to keep that field as null or false.

Thank you for your quick reply Nadine. 

In the AdWords site, when creating (or updating) a campaign, there is a checkbox marked "Include search partners". How do I access that field through the API to modify it? It seems like it is enabled by default for every new campaign created through the API. Can I uncheck it through the API? 

Thanks again.

Greetings!

If you set targetSearchNetwork to false in the API, this will uncheck the Include search partners box in the user interface. 

Cheers,
