As part of transitioning to v201109, I've written a small wrapper that
pulls the criteria csvs from the api docs page, and looks up criteria ids.
While testing that wrapper, I discovered there are cities listed (at
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/cities_us.csv) that are
refused as campaign criteria. For example, the entries for Hyannisport and
South Grafton, MA in the cities csv are:
Massachusetts,Hyannis Port,1018255,Boston MA-Manchester NH,506,US-MA
Massachusetts,South Grafton,1018410,Boston MA-Manchester NH,506,US-MA
But trying to use those ids as campaign criteria gets me the following
error:
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>

operations[119].operand.criterion; trigger:'1018255',

I was under the impression that the csv files in the api docs were the
authoritative source for criteria ids...is that not the case? Or is it
simply that not all criteria can be used as campaign criteria?
If it helps, this was run against sandbox, and the requestId
was 0004b760a56264b80a0d1a1a00006940.
