@aleinv18 you can add up to 100 LocationCriterion per AddCampaignCriterions or AddAdGroupCriterions request. The maximum number of combined location and negative location criterions that you can specify per campaign or ad group is 10,000. Let's take AddCampaignCriterions as an example. You would create up to 100 BiddableCampaignCriterion objects, and each would contain a LocationCriterion. If you want to exclude any locations then use NegativeCampaignCriterion (instead of BiddableCampaignCriterion) that contains a LocationCriterion.

Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

hi @eric-urban,
thank you for your reply.
Ok, but at code level where i have to insert the array of location?
I would send an unique SOAP request with all locations included

Thank you

@aleinv18 yes the result can be one SOAP request message. You can append BiddableCampaignCriterion objects to the array of campaign criteria. Here is a Python sample:

campaign_criterions=campaign_service.factory.create('ArrayOfCampaignCriterion')

us_campaign_location_criterion=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('BiddableCampaignCriterion'))
us_campaign_location_criterion.Type='BiddableCampaignCriterion'
us_campaign_location_criterion.CampaignId=campaign_ids['long'][0]
us_bid_multiplier=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('BidMultiplier'))
us_bid_multiplier.Type='BidMultiplier'
us_bid_multiplier.Multiplier=0
us_campaign_location_criterion.CriterionBid=us_bid_multiplier                
us_location_criterion=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('LocationCriterion'))
us_location_criterion.Type='LocationCriterion'
# United States
us_location_criterion.LocationId=190
us_campaign_location_criterion.Criterion=us_location_criterion
campaign_criterions.CampaignCriterion.append(us_campaign_location_criterion)

canada_campaign_location_criterion=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('BiddableCampaignCriterion'))
canada_campaign_location_criterion.Type='BiddableCampaignCriterion'
canada_campaign_location_criterion.CampaignId=campaign_ids['long'][0]
canada_bid_multiplier=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('BidMultiplier'))
canada_bid_multiplier.Type='BidMultiplier'
canada_bid_multiplier.Multiplier=0
canada_campaign_location_criterion.CriterionBid=canada_bid_multiplier                
canada_location_criterion=set_elements_to_none(campaign_service.factory.create('LocationCriterion'))
canada_location_criterion.Type='LocationCriterion'
# Canada
canada_location_criterion.LocationId=32
canada_campaign_location_criterion.Criterion=canada_location_criterion
campaign_criterions.CampaignCriterion.append(canada_campaign_location_criterion)

output_status_message("-----\nAddCampaignCriterions:")
add_campaign_criterions_response = campaign_service.AddCampaignCriterions(
    CampaignCriterions=campaign_criterions,
    CriterionType='Targets'
)

Here is the resulting SOAP request:

I hope this helps!
