Exemption requests let you automatically submit review requests for keywords and ads that trigger policy violations.
This feature could be used, for example, when:
- Your ad contains some punctuation that's generally considered unconventional, but that follows standards within your industry.
- A keyword in your ad group contains medical terms, but you (or your users) believe your usage of the term adheres to Google Ads policies and warrants further review.
When you send a request to mutate (create or update) objects that have policy
violations, the API will throw GoogleAdsError
containing ErrorDetails back to you.
For policy violation-related errors, the ErrorDetails class includes details
regarding those errors in
policy_violation_details
or policy_finding_details
field, based on the types of objects you're trying to mutate:
| Ads | Keywords | |
|---|---|---|
| Policy violation information stored in: | policy_finding_details(an instance of PolicyFindingDetails) |
policy_violation_details(an instance of PolicyViolationDetails) |
| GoogleAdsError.error_code value is an instance of: | PolicyFindingError |
PolicyViolationError |
Therefore, the steps for sending an exemption request will be different based on the types of objects and the error details that are returned:

/**
* Demonstrates how to request an exemption for policy violations of a keyword.
*
* <p>The example uses an exemptible policy-violating keyword by default. If you use a keyword that
* contains non-exemptible policy violations, it will not be sent with exemptions requested and you
* will still fail to create a keyword.
*
* <p>If you specify a keyword that doesn't violate any policies, this example will just add the
* keyword as usual, similar to what the AddKeywords example does.
*
* <p>When you send a request to add a keyword after requesting a policy exemption for that keyword,
* the request will pass as if you were adding a non-violating keyword.

handle_keyword_policy_violations
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This example demonstrates how to request an exemption for policy violations of a keyword.
Note that the example uses an exemptible policy-violating keyword by default. If you use
a keyword that contains non-exemptible policy violations, they will not be sent for
exemption request and you will still fail to create a keyword.
If you specify a keyword that doesn't violate any policies, this example will just add the
keyword as usual, similar to what the add_keywords.pl example does.
Note that once you've requested policy exemption for a keyword, when you send a request for
adding it again, the request will pass like when you add a non-violating keyword.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
handle_keyword_policy_violations.pl [options]
-help Show the help message.
-customer_id The Google Ads customer ID.
-ad_group_id The ad group ID.
-keyword_text [optional] The keyword to be added to the ad group.
