Hi Tanish,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that you want to create listing groups for PMAX campaigns. Yes, you can create listing groups using the example provided in the Google Ads API documentation Creating Shopping Listing Groups. The example performance Max listing groups demonstrates how to create a new listing group for PMAX campaigns.

If the issue persists, please provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end so that we can better assist you.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag

My code : String assetGroupResourceName = "customers/2966251517/assetGroups/6483919124";

long assetGroupdId= Long.parseLong(assetGroupResourceName.substring(assetGroupResourceName.lastIndexOf("/") + 1));
mutateOperations.clear();
System.out.println("assetGroupResourceName" + assetGroupResourceName);
//AssetGroupListingGroupFilter.Builder listingGroupFilter = AssetGroupListingGroupFilter.newBuilder().setAssetGroup(assetGroupResourceName).setType(ListingGroupFilterTypeEnum.ListingGroupFilterType.SUBDIVISION).setListingSource(ListingGroupFilterListingSourceEnum.ListingGroupFilterListingSource.SHOPPING);
AssetGroupListingGroupFilter listingGroupFilter = AssetGroupListingGroupFilter.newBuilder()
.setAssetGroup(ResourceNames.assetGroup(Long.parseLong(saInfo.getAccountId()), assetGroupdId))
//.setResourceName(ResourceNames.assetGroupListingGroupFilter(Long.parseLong(saInfo.getAccountId()), assetGroupdId, 11339184668L))
// Since this is the root node, do not set the ParentListingGroupFilter. For all other
// nodes, this would refer to the parent listing group filter resource name.
// .setParentListingGroupFilter("PARENT_FILTER_NAME")
//
// Unlike AddPerformanceMaxRetailCampaign, the type for the root node here must be
// SUBDIVISION because it will have child partitions under it.
.setType(ListingGroupFilterTypeEnum.ListingGroupFilterType.SUBDIVISION)
// Specifies that this uses the shopping listing source because it is a Performance
// Max campaign for retail.
.setListingSource(ListingGroupFilterListingSourceEnum.ListingGroupFilterListingSource.SHOPPING)

//.setParentListingGroupFilter(ResourceNames.assetGroupListingGroupFilter(Long.parseLong(saInfo.getAccountId()), assetGroupdId, 11339184668L))
//.setCaseValue(ListingGroupFilterDimension.newBuilder().setProductCustomAttribute(ListingGroupFilterDimension.ProductCustomAttribute.newBuilder().setValue("10-10").setIndex(ListingGroupFilterCustomAttributeIndexEnum.ListingGroupFilterCustomAttributeIndex.INDEX0).build()).build())
// Note the case_value is not set because it should be undefined for the root node.
.build();

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Upon checking further, please note that a subdivision introduces a new level in the tree, while units are leaves of the tree. Each subdivision must always be completely partitioned, so it must contain a node representing other. This tree structure with subdivisions and units lets you set bids at the unit level and also ensures that every product falls into one and only one unit node in the tree. I would recommend you refer to the 'Creating Shopping Listing Groups', 'Performance Max listing groups' and 'AssetGroupListingGroupFilterService' API documentations for more information.

If still the issue persists, please provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end. If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
