Hi Asif,

Thank you for reaching out. You can use the CampaignService to set the CpcBid of your campaign. This is the maximum cost per click value.

Hi, 
Thanks for the reply.
I am adding bid like this in CampaignService 

        $campaign->setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType::SEARCH);

        // Set shared budget (required).

        $campaign->setBudget(new Budget());

        $campaign->getBudget()->setBudgetId($budget->getBudgetId());

        $biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration();

        $biddingStrategyConfiguration->setBiddingStrategyType(

            BiddingStrategyType::TARGET_SPEND

        );

        // You can optionally provide a bidding scheme in place of the type.

        $biddingScheme = new TargetSpendBiddingScheme();

        $biddingScheme->setBidCeiling($_GET['cpc'] * 1000000);

        $biddingScheme->setSpendTarget($_GET['cpc'] * 1000000);

    

        $bid = new CpcBid();

        $money = new Money();

        $money->setMicroAmount($_GET['cpc'] * 1000000);

        $bid->setBid($money);

        $biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration();

        $biddingStrategyConfiguration->setBids([$bid]);

        $biddingStrategyConfiguration->setBiddingScheme($biddingScheme);

        $campaign->setBiddingStrategyConfiguration($biddingStrategyConfiguration); but this now throws an error

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Google\\AdsApi\\AdWords\\v201809\\cm\\ApiException: [OperationAccessDenied.OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CAMPAIGN_TYPE @ operations[0].operand.biddingStrategyConfiguration.bids; trigger:'SEARCH']

Hi Asif,

Can you please provide the complete detailed request and response logs for the call via Reply privately to author so that I can further investigate the issue? You can find more information on enabling logging here (log level NOTICE).

Is this an already existing campaign that you are trying to modify or is it a brand new campaign?
