Hi,

I have uploaded customer list to data segments. (148 user and match rate ~70%). I want to target this user list on my campaign ad. So if i understand correct these steps i want to add this audience to my ad group.My campaign is a DISPLAY CAMPAIGN. When i try to make it with UI it just allows me for observation, i am on TEST ACCOUNT.
--  what are the credentials ( i remember active account and $50 000 payment ) for only targeting user list ?
-- Also i want to use it with an google ads api. I cloned github repo which is shared by google Google Ads Python. I am trying to do it via set_up_marketing.py but it gives me some errors that i shared in photos. Are same credentials for targeting applies also targeting with API ?
-- If i try with an account that  provides credentials that i listed on up am i gonna be able to add my audience list to my ad group ?
-- (upper error message belongs to closed data segment.
And second for open but empty list. )
-- ( i edited to code and instead of creating empty list i directly gave resource name of my user list )

Hi Mahmut,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

Firstly, you may note that part of the limitations of audience management is that user lists are automatically closed when used / created in test accounts. As for the other items, you may refer below for my responses :

What are the credentials ( i remember active account and $50 000 payment ) for only targeting user list?

Could you elaborate on what you meant by credentials? If you are referring to eligibility and fees related to customer match, then I would recommend that you reach out instead to the Google Ads Product Support team, via this link, for further guidance.

However, if you are referring to the OAuth2 credentials, these do not require the payment figure you mentioned. Also, these credentials would need to be generated by a user / email address that has access to the customer_id you will specify in your API requests.


Also i want to use it with an google ads api. I cloned github repo which is shared by google Google Ads Python. I am trying to do it via set_up_marketing.py but it gives me some errors that i shared in photos. Are same credentials for targeting applies also targeting with API?

If i try with an account that  provides credentials that i listed on up am i gonna be able to add my audience list to my ad group? (upper error message belongs to closed data segment. And second for open but empty list. ) -- ( i edited to code and instead of creating empty list i directly gave resource name of my user list )

For the above items, could you share your complete request and response logs, with the request-id? This is so that I can take a look at what exact error was encountered by your API request, and so that I can then provide the appropriate recommendations.

If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled in your Python client library by referring to this guide. You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.
