Issue Inserting Placement Groups – Invalid Parameter Error Possibly Due to Date Format

[Manuel Fernandez Queipo]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to insert placement groups using the API, but I'm encountering an "invalid parameters" error. After reviewing the request, I suspect the issue might be related to the date format I'm using.

To set the start and end dates of a placement group, I'm using the pricingSchedule property, which expects a value of type com.google.api.client.util.DateTime. However, in the API documentation, the expected format is specified as a String in the format YYYY-MM-DD, which doesn’t match the format generated by the DateTime class (which includes time information like hours, minutes, and seconds).

For context, I'm using Java to make this API call, and I'm working with version v4-rev20220920-2.0.0 of the API client library.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Should the date be sent as a plain YYYY-MM-DD string instead of using the DateTime type? Any clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
