Hi Luca,
You're right, the validateOnly feature is exactly what you should be using
for this. You can read more information about it on our developer
site<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/working-with-objects#validating-mutates>.
It looks like you're using Python, and you can see an example of
validateOnly being used there in the
examples<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-legacy-lib/blob/master/examples/adspygoogle/adwords/v201402/campaign_management/validate_text_ad.py>
.
It looks like you're following these guidelines already, however. Can you
provide a log of the SOAP headers so I can see if the header is actually
being added properly?
Regards,
Mike, AdWords API Advisor
