Hello james! That sounds good!! I had a very different understanding of it - I thought, the CampaignFeedService was used for retrieving and modifying sitelinks on Campaign level and the AdGroupFeedService for retrieving and modifying sitelinks on adgroup level and I was starting to implement it.
But I will now start to implement it how you tell it - it would be so great if this would work!! :-) Lets keep each other up to date about the progress while implementing it, maybe we can inform each other if it really works!
