I am currently uploading feeds via the API to Business Data / Data Feeds. However, these have no types. Is there a way of updating the type to be "Ad Customiser Data"?

I have tried using CustomiserAttribute etc but this gets uploaded to a different area. Not in to data feeds. 

Could anyone point me in the correct direction?

Hi, 

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.

With regards to your concern, please note that in Google Ads API perspective, we need the complete logs to be able to further investigate. With that being said, can you provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated as shown in the respective links with this data? 

If you haven’t enabled logging yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from the link below. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. This will cause the tool to include the HTTP response headers in the output.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

There is no logs, this is just a general question sorry.

Basically, if I manually create Ad customizer data for text ads, I'd follow the way it is done here:  Create ad customisers for text ads - Google Ads Help 

However, is there a way this can be done with the API?

Hello Ellis,

Thank you for the clarification. You may refer to this document: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/ads/customize-responsive-search-ads. It contains information on Ad customizer.

I hope this helps.

Hi yes, that changes Ad Customizer attributes in the 'Ad Customizer attributes' section of data feeds.

However, we are looking to use the API to upload Data Feeds of type Ad Customizer. For example like the following which has been manually created:

I have managed to get Feeds uploaded, and add Attribute values to them. However, setting type does not seem to be possible, which is why I am wondering if I am missing some obvious doc..

Many thanks for the help.

Hi Ellis,

 

Thanks for further elaborating on this.

 

Kindly navigate to this link for code examples on how to add an Ad Customizer. You can also refer to the CustomizerAttributeService to manage customizer attributes.

 

Let us know if this works for you.
