UserListError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED

[18824...@163.com]

Hi all,

       I have a problem when I try to create UserList 

it return 'UserListError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED'

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for help in advance.

Hi,

The error UserListError.CONCRETE_TYPE_REQUIRED means that you need to specify the type of user list in your request. Upon checking your SOAP request, indeed, you didn't specify the type attribute in the operand element. You may check the sample SOAP request snippet below with type for reference.

<operand xmlns:ns8="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/rm/v201710" xsi:type="ns8:ExpressionRuleUserList">

However it doesn't work.can you help me correct the code because  I have too little knowledge of xml .

Hi,

It seems that you are not using one of our client libraries, that's why it generated an error on your end since there is something wrong in your XML request in creating an ExpressionRuleUserList. See sample SOAP request snippet below in creating this user list type.

You can emulate the SOAP request above and let us know if you encounter any issues. If it still does not work, please provide your latest SOAP request and response logs via Reply privately to author option.

Hi,

I'm flattered that you wish for us to be friends. :) You can always count on our team for any AdWords API specific concerns.

In regards to uploading an image media via the MediaService.upload(), please refer to the sample SOAP request snippet below that you can emulate on your end. Your data field should be of type base64binary.

 <soapenv:Body>
        <upload xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710">
            <media xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201710" xsi:type="ns2:Image">
                <ns2:type>IMAGE</ns2:type>
                <ns2:data>base64binary data sample</ns2:data>
            </media>
        </upload>
  </soapenv:Body>

If you have other clarifications, I suggest to create a new forum thread so there will be one thread to monitor for your new issue/concern.

Hope this helps and happy holidays!
