Cannot set total budget on campaign level

[vino...@skills-agency.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to set bidding strategy as Maximize clicks and budget for whole campaign. 

Below is my code to create a campaign :

$budgetResourceName = $this->addCampaignBudget(10000.36);

// Creates a campaign.

$campaign = new Campaign([

'name' => 'THIL_DISPLAY',

'advertising_channel_type' => AdvertisingChannelType::DISPLAY,

'status' => CampaignStatus::PAUSED,

'campaign_budget' => $budgetResourceName,

// Sets the standard bidding strategy and budget.

'target_spend' => new TargetSpend(

['cpc_bid_ceiling_micros' => $camp_data['budget'] * 1000000]

),

// Optional: Sets the start and end dates.

'start_date' => date('Ymd', strtotime($camp_data['start_date'])),

'end_date' => date('Ymd', strtotime($camp_data['end_date']))

]);

// Creates a campaign operation.

$campaignOperation = new CampaignOperation();

$campaignOperation->setCreate($campaign);

$campaignServiceClient = $this->googleAdsClient->getCampaignServiceClient();

$campaignResponse = $campaignServiceClient->mutateCampaigns($this->CUSTOMER_ID, [$campaignOperation]);

$campaignResourceName = $campaignResponse->getResults()[0]->getResourceName();

return $campaignResourceName;

public function addCampaignBudget($budget) {

$budget = new CampaignBudget([

'name' => 'Budget #'.$budget_name,

'delivery_method' => BudgetDeliveryMethod::STANDARD,

// 'amount_micros' => $budget * 1000000, //*1000000

'total_amount_micros' => 1000000, //*1000000

'period' => BudgetPeriod::CUSTOM_PERIOD,

'explicitly_shared' => false

]);

$campaignBudgetOperation = new CampaignBudgetOperation();

$campaignBudgetOperation->setCreate($budget);

$campaignBudgetServiceClient = $this->googleAdsClient->getCampaignBudgetServiceClient();

$response = $campaignBudgetServiceClient->mutateCampaignBudgets(

$this->CUSTOMER_ID,

[$campaignBudgetOperation]

);

$addedBudget = $response->getResults()[0];

return $addedBudget->getResourceName();

}

When i set amount_micros (without total_amount_micros & period) then the campaign budget is setting up as daily budget.

So i set total_amount_micros & period then i'm getting error like OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CAMPAIGN_TYPE.

Also i tried to set amount_micros & period then im getting error like below :

{ "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.", "code": 3, "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT", "details": [ { "@type": 0, "data": "type.googleapis.com\/google.ads.googleads.v8.errors.GoogleAdsFailure" }, { "@type": 0, "data": [ { "errorCode": { "requestError": "UNKNOWN" }, "message": "The error code is not in this version.", "trigger": { "int64Value": "10000360000" }, "location": { "fieldPathElements": [ { "fieldName": "operations", "index": 0 }, { "fieldName": "create" }, { "fieldName": "amount_micros" } ] } } ] }, { "@type": 0, "data": "wxH3aLWrIaZcf1gOHCyx4w" } ] }

When i see in UI daily budget field is not mandatory and i could set bidding strategy. But through api campaign daily budget seems to be mandatory because i tried to set bidding strategy in campaign level and i have set cpc_bid_ceiling_micros but im getting error showing that The required field was not present. camapign_budget .

How can i set campaign whole budget ?
