Issues modifying targets bids adjustments for Display campaign

[di...@easyleads.com]

Hi,

In the AdWords I'm able to set bid adjustments for Placements, Topics, Interests and Demographics - http://oi68.tinypic.com/33z2o12.jpg

But I can't figure out how to modify it via API. I didn't find an example, so I assumed that since all the targets are Criterions just like Mobile I can use the same code as for modifying mobile bid adjustment. But it fails.

For demographics (10 - Gender.Male, 503001 - AgeRange.18to24, 300 - ParentalStatus.Parent) it fails with CANNOT_BID_MODIFY_CRITERION_TYPE. For the rest (Placements, Topics, Interests) it fails with UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR.

I'm using Java library v201509 (I know you released a new version recently).

Code:

Long adGroupId = XXXXXXXX;

Long criterionId = 10;

AdWordsServices services = new AdWordsServices();

AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface adGroupBidModifierService = services.get(adwordsSession, AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface.class);

Criterion criterion = new  Criterion();

criterion.setId(criterionId);

AdGroupBidModifier modifier = new AdGroupBidModifier();

modifier.setAdGroupId(adGroupId);

modifier.setCriterion(criterion);

modifier.setBidModifier(2);

AdGroupBidModifierOperation operation = new AdGroupBidModifierOperation();

operation.setOperand(modifier);

operation.setOperator(Operator.SET);

AdGroupBidModifierReturnValue result = adGroupBidModifierService.mutate(new AdGroupBidModifierOperation[] {operation});

What am I doing wrong and what is the correct way?

Thanks
