Hi,
The BUDGET_OPTIMIZER strategy is simply not available through the API
anymore
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/migration/v201402>,
so you will not be able to set up your campaign to use it via the API.
If you use the TARGET_SPEND ("Maximize clicks") bidding strategy instead,
as recommended in the v201402 Migration Guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/migration/v201402>,
then you will have to first create a shared bidding strategy through the
BiddingStrategyService
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/BiddingStrategyService>,
and then use the SharedBiddingStrategy.id
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/BiddingStrategyService.SharedBiddingStrategy#id>
returned
to set up your campaign. As mentioned in our Bidding Guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bidding>:
Each BiddingStrategyType and associated BiddingScheme type is only valid

The table in the guide shows that a TARGET_SPEND strategy can only be
created as SharedBiddingStrategy, not as part of a Campaign-specific
bidding strategy configuration.
The v201402 Migration Guide also points out that:
EnhancedCpc setting can no longer be enabled for Manual CPC bidding
> strategy.
However, you could use the ENHANCED_CPC bidding type
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/BiddingStrategyService.EnhancedCpcBiddingScheme>,
although with this type you cannot specify criteria-specific bid overrides.
Best regards,
Josh, AdWords API Team
