We’ve just released v2beta1 of the
DoubleClick Ad Exchange Buyer REST API. Unlike previous releases, this is an early access open beta that only allows three new resources—
Clients,
Invitations, and
Users. In order to access this version, new users will need to go to the API Manager in the
Google Developers Console and enable “Ad Exchange Buyer API II”; current users will have this enabled automatically. For access to existing resources such as Accounts or Creatives, you should continue using
v1.4.
The new resources available in this release allow you to add and manage clients programmatically rather than through the
Ad Exchange UI. A
Client represents an advertiser, agency, or brand that can view, negotiate, and/or approve deals in areas of the Ad Exchange UI related to the
Marketplace. You can send
Invitations on behalf of a Client to add
Users—the individuals accessing the UI as the Client.
To get even more familiar with these new resources, check out the
Client Access Overview. There are some subtle differences when using the
client libraries with this version, so we recommend that you look at our
samples for guidance on initializing clients and making API calls. At this time, the
Java,
PHP, and
Python samples have been updated for compatibility with this version and the others are planned for the near future. If you have any questions or feedback related to these changes, feel free to reach out to us at the
DoubleClick Ad Exchange Buyer API forums or the
Ad Developers Google+ Page.
