Campaign Negatvie RLSA/User List exclusion with Adwords API

[Alex Fung]

Hi all,

I am working on excluding a user list from a list of campaigns with Adwords API but I can't figure out how.

What I am trying to do is to exclude a user list on the campaign level.

 

I have written a function for that:

API_VERSION = 'v201601'

def Add_Negative_User_List(client,campaignId):

    campaign_criterion = client.GetService('CampaignCriterionService',version=API_VERSION)

    operation = {

        'operator': 'ADD',

        'operand': {

            'campaignId': campaignId,

            'isNegative':True,

            'criterion': {

                'xsi_type': 'CriterionUserList'

                'userListId':'1234567'

            }

        }

    }

    response = campaign_criterion.mutate(operation)

I tried to add the user list as exclusion on the UI and pull the criterion with the API.

this is the response:

(CampaignCriterionPage){
   totalNumEntries = 1
   Page.Type = "CampaignCriterionPage"
   entries[] = 
      (NegativeCampaignCriterion){
         campaignId = 291250879
         isNegative = True
         criterion = 
            (CriterionUserList){
               id = 162191598799
               type = "USER_LIST"
               Criterion.Type = "CriterionUserList"
            }
         CampaignCriterion.Type = "NegativeCampaignCriterion"
      },
 }

Please help me out on this.

Thanks,

Alex

I figured out how to do it with API.

python code: 

def Add_Negative_User_List(client,campaignId,userListId):

    campaign_criterion = client.GetService('CampaignCriterionService',version=API_VERSION)

    operation = {

        'operator': 'ADD',

        'operand': {

            'campaignId': campaignId,

            'xsi_type':'NegativeCampaignCriterion',

            'criterion': {

                'xsi_type': 'CriterionUserList',

                'userListId':userListId

            }

        }

    }

    response = campaign_criterion.mutate(operation)

    return response
