Partial Failure

In the Google Ads API, you can request that valid operations be committed and failed ones return errors. This feature—called partial failure—lets you handle the failed operations separately at the end. It is available in non-get methods of many Google Ads API services.

Technical details

To utilize this feature, you’ll need to set the partialFailure parameter of the method you'd like to use. This can be a bit different in each client library. For instance, do the following to turn on this feature when sending a request using MutateAdGroups:

Java

mutateAdGroups(String.valueOf(customerId), operations, true)

C#

MutateAdGroups(customerId.ToString(), operations, true, false)

PHP

mutateAdGroups($customerId, $operations, ['partialFailure' => true])

Python

mutate_ad_groups(customer_id, operations, partial_failure=True)

Ruby

mutate_ad_groups(customer_id, operations, partial_failure: true)

Perl

mutate({customerId => $customer_id, operations => $operations, partialFailure => 'true'})

The service will carry out the operations that had no errors. It will return results for successful operations and errors for failed ones.

Usage

Assume that you need to add a set of ad groups to your account. However, some of the ad groups may have some issues. You want to create the valid ad groups, but have the failed ad groups returned along with their errors.

Create the operations and make the API call

Create the mutate operations and make the API call as usual.

Java

private MutateAdGroupsResponse createAdGroups(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, long campaignId) {
  // This AdGroup should be created successfully - assuming the campaign in the params exists.
  AdGroup group1 =
      AdGroup.newBuilder()
          .setCampaign(ResourceNames.campaign(customerId, campaignId))
          .setName("Valid AdGroup: " + getPrintableDateTime())
          .build();
  // This AdGroup will always fail - campaign ID 0 in resource names is never valid.
  AdGroup group2 =
      AdGroup.newBuilder()
          .setCampaign(ResourceNames.campaign(customerId, 0L))
          .setName("Broken AdGroup: " + getPrintableDateTime())
          .build();
  // This AdGroup will always fail - duplicate ad group names are not allowed.
  AdGroup group3 =
      AdGroup.newBuilder()
          .setCampaign(ResourceNames.campaign(customerId, campaignId))
          .setName(group1.getName())
          .build();

  AdGroupOperation op1 = AdGroupOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(group1).build();
  AdGroupOperation op2 = AdGroupOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(group2).build();
  AdGroupOperation op3 = AdGroupOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(group3).build();

  try (AdGroupServiceClient service =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createAdGroupServiceClient()) {
    // Issues the mutate request, setting partialFailure=true.
    return service.mutateAdGroups(
        MutateAdGroupsRequest.newBuilder()
            .setCustomerId(String.valueOf(customerId))
            .setCustomerId(Long.toString(customerId))
            .addAllOperations(Arrays.asList(op1, op2, op3))
            .setPartialFailure(true)
            .build());
  }
}

Check if the returned response contains a partial failure error

You can check if the returned response contains a partial failure error by checking if the response's partial failure error is not empty:

Java

private boolean checkIfPartialFailureErrorExists(MutateAdGroupsResponse response) {
  return response.hasPartialFailureError();
}
      

C#

private static bool CheckIfPartialFailureErrorExists(MutateAdGroupsResponse response)
{
    return response.PartialFailureError != null;
}
      

PHP

private static function checkIfPartialFailureErrorExists(MutateAdGroupsResponse $response)
{
    if ($response->hasPartialFailureError()) {
        printf("Partial failures occurred. Details will be shown below.%s", PHP_EOL);
    } else {
        printf(
            "All operations completed successfully. No partial failures to show.%s",
            PHP_EOL
        );
    }
}
      

Python

def is_partial_failure_error_present(response):
    """Checks whether a response message has a partial failure error.

    In Python the partial_failure_error attr is always present on a response
    message and is represented by a google.rpc.Status message. So we can't

    """
    partial_failure = getattr(response, "partial_failure_error", None)
    code = getattr(partial_failure, "code", None)
    return code != 0
      

Ruby

failures.each do |failure|
  failure.errors.each do |error|

      .location
      .field_path_elements

      " with value: #{error.trigger.string_value}" \
      " because #{error.message.downcase}"
    puts errmsg
  end
end
      

Perl

sub check_if_partial_failure_error_exists {
  my $ad_groups_response = shift;

  if ($ad_groups_response->{partialFailureError}) {
    print "Partial failures occurred. Details will be shown below.\n";
  } else {
    print
      "All operations completed successfully. No partial failures to show.\n";
  }
}
      

Handle succeeded and failed operations

If the result corresponding to the submitted operation succeeds, its message will contain a resource name. In this case, you can just print the information or use it for other purposes you want.

However, if the result contains nothing, it means that the corresponding operation has failed. You can extract its errors' details by starting from partial_failure_error of the response:

  • The partial_failure_error field has a type of Status, which contains a list of details.
  • Each detail corresponds to each submitted operation. It represents an instance of GoogleAdsFailure.
  • GoogleAdsFailure contains a list of GoogleAdsError objects. Therefore, one submitted operation can contain many errors.
  • GoogleAdsError tells you the error message, error code and all other relevant details.

All client libraries provide utility functions for extracting these error details for you, so you don't need to worry about doing the above steps from scratch. Check the code snippets below for examples:

Java

private void printResults(MutateAdGroupsResponse response) {
  int operationIndex = 0;
  for (MutateAdGroupResult result : response.getResultsList()) {
    if (ErrorUtils.getInstance().isPartialFailureResult(result)) {
      // May throw on this line. Most likely this means the wrong version of the ErrorUtils
      // class has been used.
      GoogleAdsFailure googleAdsFailure = ErrorUtils.getInstance()
          .getGoogleAdsFailure(response.getPartialFailureError());

      for (GoogleAdsError error :
          ErrorUtils.getInstance()
              .getGoogleAdsErrors(operationIndex, googleAdsFailure)) {
        System.out.printf("Operation %d failed with error: %s%n", operationIndex, error);
      }
    } else {
      System.out.printf("Operation %d succeeded.%n", operationIndex);
    }
    ++operationIndex;
  }
}
