The AdWords API will sunset on April 27, 2022. Migrate to the Google Ads API to take advantage of the latest Google Ads features.

AdGroupCriterionService (v201809)

Use this service to manage criteria (such as keywords or placements). A criterion describes the conditions that determine if an ad should display. Two classes of criteria are available:

  • A biddable criterion defines conditions that will cause the parent ad group's ads to display. A biddable criterion can also specify a bid amount that overrides the parent ad group's default bid.
  • A negative criterion defines conditions that will prevent the parent ad group's ads from displaying.

PolicyViolationError Represents violations of a single policy by some text in a field. Violations of a single policy by the same string in multiple places within a field is reported in one instance of this class and only one exemption needs to be filed. Violations of a single policy by two different strings is reported as two separate instances of this class. e.g. If 'ACME' violates 'capitalization' and occurs twice in a text ad it would be represented by one instance. If the ad also contains 'INC' which also violates 'capitalization' it would be represented in a separate instance.
