getting GoogleAdsException from ApiException (PHP)

[Michael Shepard]

I'm using the php library v15 in a laravel application.I'm trying to catch exceptions and request policy exemptions like it is shown in the keywords example in the github repo. however, I'm throwing an ApiException NOT a GoogleAdsException. I've included an example of what my exception looks like. How do I create a GoogleAdsException from the ApiException so I can work with that instead of the ApiException? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!!

Hi,

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

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you are getting an error message "INVALID_ARGUMENT". You can refer to this documentation for more information on the common errors related to the Google Ads API.

In order to further investigate the error you encountered, provide us complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end and uncropped UI screenshot of the Google Ads account where you are facing the issue.

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.

 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02r4uw7:ref"

Thanks,
