Block IPs on Google Ads API v2 Beta using Python Library

I'm trying to block an IP list through Google API v2 but I'm getting the error "Criteria type can not be targeted." on field: operations, on field: create, on field: ip_block. Another doubt that I have, is if I will need to repeat the create operation for each IP on my list or there is a way to put multiple Ip on the same request.

client = (google.ads.google_ads.client.GoogleAdsClient.load_from_storage(path="./google-ads.yaml"))
campaign_criterion_operation = client.get_type('CampaignCriterionOperation', version='v2')
campaign_criterion = campaign_criterion_operation.create
campaign_criterion.campaign.value = campaign_service.campaign_path(customer, campaign)
campaign_criterion.ip_block.ip_address.value = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
campaign_criterion_response = campaign_criterion_service.mutate_campaign_criteria(customer, [campaign_criterion_operation])

for reponse in campaign_criterion_response.results:
    print('Added campaign criterion "%s".' % reponse.resource_name)

i think you are getting the error because you haven't set the criterion to negative. Im not using the python library but i am using the PHP one.

This is what mine looks like;

$campaign_criterion = new CampaignCriterion([
    'ip_block' => new IpBlockInfo([
        'ip_address' => 'IP_ADDRESS_HERE'
    ]),
    'negative' => true, // setting it to negative
    'campaign' => ResourceNames::forCampaign('XXXXXXXXXX', 'XXXXXXXXXXXX')
]);

And yes, you have to create a campaign criterion per IP Address you want to block.
