The week of September 17, 2018, a number of DoubleClick Bid Manager API reporting dimensions and metrics will be renamed.

These changes are being made to more closely align API field names with their UI counterparts after the recent launch of the Google Display & Video 360 brand. The changes are as follows:

To allow users time to prepare for these changes, the new API names listed above will be made available the week of September 3, 2018. Both old and new API names will be supported until October 1, 2018, at which point the old API names will be disabled. Users are advised to use this transitional period to update workflows impacted by this change, to avoid an interruption in service.
If you have questions regarding these changes, please reach out to your Display & Video 360 account team.
