What's changing?
As of today, the
getServiceLinks() and
mutateServiceLinks() methods on
CustomerService are available to all AdWords API users. Previously, these methods were only available to whitelisted users.
Using this functionality and the
Content API for Shopping, you can now fully automate the process of linking Merchant Center accounts to your AdWords account. Previously, you could send a link invitation using the Content API for Shopping, but you could not accept or reject the invitation using the AdWords API.
What do the new features do?
I thought you'd never ask! :)
- getServiceLinks() retrieves the status of links between your AdWords account and Merchant Center accounts.
- mutateServiceLinks() accepts or rejects links between your AdWords account and Merchant Center accounts.
What should you do?
If you're interested in automating the linking process between Merchant Center and AdWords, check out the
updated shopping campaigns guide.
If you have any questions or need help, please post on the
forum or the
Ads Developers Plus Page.
