Cannot Assign Labels to AdGroupCriterion(Keyword) / AdGroupAd using BatchJobService

[agnel-waghela]

According to the Google Adwords API Documentation, the AdGroupCriterionLabelOperation and AdGroupAdLabelOperation are supported in BatchJobService.

But when I'm trying to create a Keyword or an Ad and assign a label alongside with it in the same BatchJob request, the Keyword or Ad creation succeeds whereas the LabelOperation fails.

Below is a sample request and response for a Keyword

Request - Here a TempId is assigned to the AdGroupCriterionOperation since the AdGroupCriterionLabelOperation requires the id of the AdGroupCriterion to associate a label to it.

[{:xsi_type=>"AdGroupCriterionOperation",
  :operator=>"ADD",
  :operand=>
   {:xsi_type=>"BiddableAdGroupCriterion",
    :ad_group_id=>"50208085678",
    :criterion=>
     {:xsi_type=>"Keyword",
      :text=>"+1 +BHK +Apartment",
      :match_type=>"BROAD",
      :id=>-1},
    :bidding_strategy_configuration=>
     {:bids=>[{:xsi_type=>"CpcBid", :bid=>{:micro_amount=>13000000}}]}}},
 {:xsi_type=>"AdGroupCriterionLabelOperation",
  :operator=>"ADD",
  :operand=>
   {:ad_group_id=>"50208085678", :criterion_id=>-1, :label_id=>"2131330045"}}]

Response -

Hello @agnel-waghela,

This doesn't appear to be a library-specific ubg, but a general API issue. Could you please reach out to the support team on the forum instead? The team would be able to confirm the behavior for temp IDs for labels.

Thank you.

Thanks @dklimkin, I have reached out to the Adwords API Team to confirm the Behaviour of Temp IDs.

Here is the Link to the thread for those who might encounter this in future.
