# update_apple_ads_object Edit an existing Apple Ads campaign, ad group, keyword, creative or ad. Pass level and id plus ONLY the fields you want to change — Apple leaves every field you omit exactly as it is. Campaign: name, dailyBudget, startTime, endTime, countries, bidStrategyType. Ad group: name, defaultBid, startTime, endTime, searchMatch. Keyword: bid only — its text and match type are immutable, so delete and re-add to change either. Creative: name, plus (Apple Maps creatives only) a new creativeSpec — a creative’s type and destination are locked at creation, so pointing at a different app or product page means creating a NEW creative. Ad: name only — its creative and ad group are locked too, and Apple’s own instruction for serving a different creative is to create a new ad and delete the old one. Location group: name, description, and locationIds or rules. WARNING, AND IT APPLIES TO EVERY ARRAY HERE: AN ARRAY REPLACES RATHER THAN MERGES. The countries you send become the campaign’s entire geographic targeting, the targeting dimensions you send become the ad group’s entire setting for those dimensions, and Apple states it for location groups in terms — to add ONE shop to a group, read its current locationIds, append, and send the whole list back, or you have just removed every other shop. Send everything you want to keep, never just the new one. This tool deliberately CANNOT change a status: enabling arms real spend, so it lives behind set_apple_ads_status and its confirmation. Free.
