 Error creating ad unit using Host APIs

Tony John <tonyjohn@gmail.com> Jul 24 11:36PM -0700  

I am getting an error when trying to create an ad unit. When I execute the
API, I am getting the error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad
Request.".
 
Below is the code I am using. Do you see anything wrong with this? (The
approach I am using is working fine for some other API calls like List
adClients.
 
public static void CreateAdUnit(string accountId)
{
string access_token =
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["Google_Access_Token"] as string;
 
StringBuilder postBuilder = new StringBuilder();
postBuilder.AppendFormat("{0}={1}", "key",
Uri.EscapeUriString(apiKey));
postBuilder.AppendFormat("&{0}={1}", "access_token",
Uri.EscapeUriString(access_token));
 
string hostUrl =
"https://www.googleapis.com/adsensehost/v4.1/accounts/" + accountId +
"/adclients/ca-" + accountId + "/adunits";
HttpWebRequest request =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(hostUrl + "?" + postBuilder.ToString());
request.Method = "POST";
request.Accept = "text/json";
 
AdSenseAdUnitResource adUnitResource = new
AdSenseAdUnitResource();

adUnitResource.contentAdsSettings = new
AdSenseAdContentAdsSettings();

adUnitResource.contentAdsSettings.backupOption = new
AdSenseAdBackupOption();
adUnitResource.contentAdsSettings.backupOption.color = "FFFFFF";
adUnitResource.contentAdsSettings.size = "SIZE_300_250";
adUnitResource.contentAdsSettings.type = "TEXT";
 
adUnitResource.customStyle = new AdSenseAdCustomStyle();
adUnitResource.customStyle.corners = "VERY_ROUNDED";

adUnitResource.customStyle.font = new
AdSenseAdCustomStyleFont();
adUnitResource.customStyle.font.family =
"ACCOUNT_DEFAULT_FAMILY";
adUnitResource.customStyle.font.size = "ACCOUNT_DEFAULT_SIZE";

adUnitResource.customStyle.colors = new
AdSenseAdCustomStyleColors();
adUnitResource.customStyle.colors.background = "FFFFFF";
adUnitResource.customStyle.colors.border = "FF0000";
adUnitResource.customStyle.colors.text = "00FF00";
adUnitResource.customStyle.colors.title = "000000";
adUnitResource.customStyle.colors.url = "0000FF";

adUnitResource.name = "Demo Ad1";
 
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string jsonData = js.Serialize(adUnitResource);
 
using (var streamWriter = new
StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
streamWriter.Write(jsonData);
streamWriter.Flush();
streamWriter.Close();
}
 
try // Get the response of the POST
{
HttpWebResponse webResponse =
(HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
 
StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
 
string responseData = sr.ReadToEnd().Trim();
}
catch (WebException wex)
{
// The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
throw wex;
}
catch
{
throw;
}
}
 
Thanks.

Hi Tony,
 
I can't debug your code, but it looks good. Can you copy the actual JSON
request? Have you tried using the APIs explorer with the same parameters?
 
Cheers!
Jose

 Missing piece in the Host API reference page

Tony John <tonyjohn@gmail.com> Jul 24 08:14PM -0700  

Take a look at this page:
https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/v4.1/accounts/adunits/insert
 
There is no text below the heading "Request body". Is there anything
missing there? Shouldn't we supply any body (Accounts.adunits resource<https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/v4.1/accounts/adunits#resource>)
with this API call?

Hi Tony,
 
The resource you link to (Accounts.adunits) is exactly what you should be
passing in the request body.
 
Cheers,
Sérgio
