That's correct. Using the API, there is no way to update any part of an ad other than its status.

In order to change the headline text, you'll need to delete the old ad by setting its status to Disabled and then create a new one.

APIlity's setHeadline method claims:

Since there is no delete command, the method uses the updateAds command to set the status to Disabled. Presumably the author knew what he was doing and the API hasn't changed since.

Hi All,

I need to be able to edit the Headlines for my TextAds via the AdService. Unfortunatley there does not seem to be any way of doing this? The AdService API only appears to let you update the Ads status?

Any ideas how to edit the headlines for a bunch of Ads? I cant even delete them and add new ones since there is no delete command! :( and anyway this would be expensive in Quota :(

Thanks

Ben
