The GetRecommendationsRequest object defines the body and header elements of the service operation request. The elements must be in the same order as shown in the Request SOAP.

Note

Unless otherwise noted below, all request elements are required.

Request Body Elements

CampaignId	The identifier of the campaign that owns the ad group specified in the AdGroupId element. If this element is nil or empty, then the AdGroupId must also be nil or empty, and the operation will return all opportunities of a certain recommendation type for the account.	long
RecommendationType	The identifier of the recommendation type that you want to get. Currently only ResponsiveSearchAdsOpportunity is supported. This element can't be nil or empty. One recommendation type per request, e.g., ResponsiveSearchAdsOpportunity.	string
