Google AdWords API - AdGroupAdError CANNOT_CREATE_DEPRECATED_ADS
I'm using Google AdWords Python SDK to create ResponsiveDisplayAds. My code is like below.
adgroup_ad_service = adwords_client.GetService( service_name = "AdGroupAdService", version = "v201809" ) operations = [{ 'operator': 'ADD', 'operand': { 'xsi_type': 'AdGroupAd', 'adGroupId': '<AD_GROUP_ID>', 'ad': { 'xsi_type': 'ResponsiveDisplayAd', 'marketingImage': { 'mediaId': '<MEDIA_ID>' }, 'shortHeadline': 'Short Headline', 'longHeadline': 'This is a very long headline', 'description': 'This is a description', 'businessName': 'Test Business Name', 'finalUrls': ['https://www.google.com'], 'squareMarketingImage': { 'mediaId': '<MEDIA_ID>' } }, 'status': 'PAUSED' } }] ads_response = adgroup_ad_service.mutate(operations) print("AD RESPONSE : {}".format(ads_response)) But It's giving me, AdGroupAdError.CANNOT_CREATE_DEPRECATED_ADS.
According to the documentation it describe this error as An ad of this type is deprecated and cannot be created. Only deletions are permitted..
But in documentation of the AdGroupAd ResponsiveDisplayAd, is one of the accepted Ad types.
So it would be great if someone can point me a direction to resolve this issue.
Use AddMultiAssetResponsiveDisplayAd instead. Same result in a different way. Hope you can make it like i did.
Thanks for the insight. I'm now using AddMultiAssetResponsiveDisplayAd ** instead of **ResponsiveDisplayAd. And if someone facing the same issue here, I would recommend to go straight into using **AddMultiAssetResponsiveDisplayAd ** without troubleshooting the issue.
Google moved from REsponsiveDisplayAd. That's why I asked you to go with this. Some exceptions can be solved. but some should be avoided.
