Requesting Exemption for Ads Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
The steps for requesting exemption for ads are as follows:
Store all the ignorable policy topics included in PolicyTopicEntry
,
which is stored inside PolicyFindingDetails
, returned when
your first attempt to mutate an ad failed. Send a mutate request to create or update the ad again by including the
stored ignorable policy topics.
In this guide, we create a responsive search ad as an example. The steps for
requesting exemption are the same for all ad types and similar for all
mutates (create and update).
Store all ignorable policy topics
The error details for ads are included in PolicyFindingDetails
, which in turn
stores a list of PolicyTopicEntry
objects.
In this step, you store the topic
field of each PolicyTopicEntry
:
Java
private
List<String>
fetchIgnorablePolicyTopics

GoogleAdsException

{
System

// Searches all errors for ignorable policy topics.

handle_responsive_search_ad_policy_violations
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This example demonstrates how to request an exemption for policy violations of a
responsive search ad. If the request somehow fails with exceptions that are not policy
finding errors, the example will stop instead of trying sending an exemption request.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
handle_responsive_search_ad_policy_violations.pl [options]
-help Show the help message.
-customer_id The Google Ads customer ID.
-ad_group_id The ad group ID.
