Platform Criteria to Campaign

[Aekansh Partani]

I am using AdwordsAPI 

Error:

[CampaignCriterionError.CANNOT_EXCLUDE_CRITERIA_TYPE @ operations[0].operand.criterion; trigger:'PLATFORM']

Code I am Trying with : 

$campaign_id = "";
$campaignService = $adWordsServices->get(sessionBuilder(), CampaignService::class);
$campaignCriterionService = $adWordsServices->get(sessionBuilder(), CampaignCriterionService::class);
// Create a campaign
$campaign = new Campaign();
$campaign->setName("New Campaign".' #' . uniqid()); //Set Campaign Name
$campaign->setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType::DISPLAY);

//Budget Start
$budgetService = $adWordsServices->get(sessionBuilder(), BudgetService::class);
$budget = new Budget();
$budget->setName(' Budget #' . uniqid());
$budget->setIsExplicitlyShared(false);
$money = new Money();
$money->setMicroAmount((int)(500* 1000000));
$budget->setAmount($money);
$budget->setDeliveryMethod(BudgetBudgetDeliveryMethod::STANDARD);
$operations = [];
// Create a budget operation.
$operation = new BudgetOperation();
$operation->setOperand($budget);
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operations[] = $operation;
// Create the budget on the server.
$result = $budgetService->mutate($operations);
$budget = $result->getValue()[0];
//Budget End

// Set Budget to campaign
$campaign->setBudget(new Budget());
$campaign->getBudget()->setBudgetId($budget->getBudgetId());

// Bidding Strategy
$biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration();
$biddingStrategyConfiguration->setBiddingStrategyType(BiddingStrategyType::MANUAL_CPM);
$campaign->setBiddingStrategyConfiguration($biddingStrategyConfiguration);

//Pause Campaign
$campaign->setStatus(CampaignStatus::PAUSED);

// Create a campaign operation and add it to the operations list.
$operations = [];
$operation = new CampaignOperation();
$operation->setOperand($campaign);
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operations[] = $operation;
// Create the campaigns on the server
$resultCampaign = $campaignService->mutate($operations)->getValue()[0];
$campaign_id = $resultCampaign->getId();

$platform = new \Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\Platform();
$platform->setId('30002');

$criterion = new NegativeCampaignCriterion();
$criterion->setCampaignId($campaign_id);
$criterion->setCriterion($platform);

// Create a campaign criterion operation and add it to the operations list.
$operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operation->setOperand($criterion);
$operations = [$operation];
// Update campaign criteria on the server.
$results = $campaignCriterionService->mutate($operations);

return $result;

Hi Aekansh,

It is not possible to exclude platform criteria at both the API and UI level. You can only adjust the bid modifiers for these criteria. You can refer to this chart to see what can be targeted and excluded at either the campaign or ad group level.
