location problem

[YangYang Wang]

Hello. I have a question about geolocation that I need your help to solve. I went through this link https://developers.google.cn/google-ads/api/docs/targeting/location-targeting?hl=en I can target my campaign normally. But recently I have encountered such a problem. In the column in my campaign that shows country-specific delivery data. There are three states added and excluded and none. When I remove and exclude and no options. Can request and complete the execution of the operation. But when I exclude a country whose status is added. Will return an error."message": "Request contains an invalid argument.","code": 3,"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT".But I found that I could delete the countries I had added. After the delete operation. Its state becomes nothing. That would also solve the problem. But in this case, I need to distinguish. Which countries belong to the added state. Your email told me earlier.'SELECT campaign_criterion.criterion_id, campaign.id, campaign_criterion.negative FROM campaign_criterion WHERE campaign_criterion.negative = TRUE'. You can retrieve the excluded countries by campaign_criteria.negative = TRUE. That leaves the added and stateless countries. How to distinguish? This is probably the problem I need to solve more now. I hope to reply as soon as I receive the email. Thanks!

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.
