Re: Lead form Ad

[Anna Lysak]

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to create Ad using REST API, and I receive error that create 
operation is not supported. How I can create Ad using rest API? Or I should 
create Ad with Google UI, select Ad and update it via rest API? What if 
there is new campaign without AdGroup and Ads? 

My request was:
url = 'https://googleads.googleapis.com/v11/customers/XXXX/ads:mutate'
params = {
"operations": [{
"create": {
"finalUrls": ["devel.odore.com", "link.to.campaign.org"],
"type": "RESPONSIVE_SEARCH_AD",
"name": "My Ad 12345",
"responsiveSearchAd": {
"headlines": [{
"pinnedField": "HEADLINE_1",
"text": "Get Free Sample"
},
{
"pinnedField": "HEADLINE_2",
"text": "Get your free sample"
},
{
"pinnedField": "HEADLINE_3",
"text": "Get free sample from us"
},
{
"pinnedField": "DESCRIPTION_1",
"text": "Please fill in the questionnaire and you'll get free sample"
},
{
"pinnedField": "DESCRIPTION_2",
"text": "Please reply to questions and get your free sample"
}]
}

}
}]
}

And response is:
Status 400
Data {
    "error": {
        "code": 400,
        "message": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"create\" 
at 'operations[0]': Cannot find field.",
        "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
        "details": [
            {
                "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",
                "fieldViolations": [
                    {
                        "field": "operations[0]",
                        "description": "Invalid JSON payload received. 
Unknown name \"create\" at 'operations[0]': Cannot find field."
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Could you please help me with this?
