[ApiFaultDetail] / (1030) Account Id has to be specified for this operation.

Question

I'm using the v6 CampaignManagement API.  I'm trying to get my Campaigns using a GetCampaignsByAccountIdRequest.

GetCampaignsByAccountIdRequest campRequest = new GetCampaignsByAccountIdRequest();
campRequest.setAccountId(accountId);

GetCampaignsByAccountIdResponse campResponse = campaignManagement.getCampaignsByAccountId(campRequest);
Campaign[] exist = campResponse.getCampaigns();

this results in the ApiFaultDetail exception (1030) Account Id has to be specified for this operation.  I'm using my Customer Account ID as the Account Id.  Also, I don't see this error mentioned on the error codes index:

any idea what might be going wrong?
thanks,
Brent

Answer 1

What AccountID are you using? Feel free to open a support ticket if you would rather not post specific data here. So you obtained your AccountID via a call to GetAccounts? And make sure you are using the pure numeric value, and not the alphanumeric AccountNumber (the one in X1234567 format)
