Final url contains illegal characters

[Yosi Bar Yosef]

i got an exception while trying to generate an ad with hebrew parameter 

of course, i escaped the phrase prior the addon 

* here is the actual url (after escape the phrase 'בדיקה עברית' which means 'hebrew check')

http://rcb.co.il?k=%u05D1%u05D3%u05D9%u05E7%u05D4%20%u05E2%u05D1%u05E8%u05D9%u05EA

* exception message: 

Final url contains illegal characters

* here is the souce code:

Logger.log('New Ad "%s"', keywordText);

var ad = CreateAd(adGroup, keywordText, 'Search for '.concat(keywordText ,'?'), 'all the best result are on website!', siteURL, siteURL.concat('?k=', escape(mostExpensiveKeywordText)));

if(!ad){

      Logger.log('some error occured');

      return;

}

Logger.log('Ad created successfully');

function CreateAd(adGroup, header, line1, line2, displayURL, destinationURL){ 

  Logger.log('url: %s', destinationURL);

  

  var operation = adGroup.newTextAdBuilder()

    .withHeadline(header) // 25 characters

    .withDescription1(line1) // 35 characters

    .withDescription2(line2) // 35 characters

    .withDisplayUrl(displayURL) // 255 characters

    .withFinalUrl(destinationURL) // 255 characters

    .build();

    

  if(!operation.isSuccessful())

    return null;

  return operation.getResult();

}

* here is my log:

New Ad "בדיקה עברית"

url: http://rcb.co.il?k=%u05D1%u05D3%u05D9%u05E7%u05D4%20%u05E2%u05D1%u05E8%u05D9%u05EA

Hi Yosi,

The url seems encoded incorrectly, the AdWords UI also disallows the URL http://www.rcb.co.il/?k=%u05D1%u05D3%u05D9%u05E7%u05D4%20%u05E2%u05D1%u05E8%u05D9%u05EA. Could you kindly post this on the product forum? Someone might be able to take a look and give a suggestion on how best to fix the URL.

Cheers,

Anash P. Oommen,

i think i found the issue.. 

just need to remove the escape clause 

escape('בדיקה') 

when its off - the url is valid 

http://rcb.co.il/בדיקה

thanks
