Announcing v0_7 of the Google Ads API

Today we’re announcing the beta release of the Google Ads API v0_7. With this version, you’ll continue pointing to v0 as your endpoint; however, you'll need to update your client libraries. Here are the highlights:

• Request Parameters. These parameters give you the ability to change how a request is processed.
  • Set validate_only to true as a request parameter to only validate the request, but not perform it. This was added to all services including GoogleAdsService.Mutate().
  • Set partial_failure to true as a mutate parameter to continue on failure and commit valid operations even if other operations in the same request failed.
• Reporting. All segment fields are now in a segments, which means all queries must be updated to include segments. before the segment field name.
• Manager accounts. We've added support for mutating your customer hierarchy with CustomerManagerLink and CustomerClientLink.
• Client accounts. We’ve introduced fields to identify if a customer is a test account or a manager account. The conversion tracking settings of a customer are now available.
• Ad formats. We’ve added support for managing ad parameters with the AdParameterService.
• Audiences. The targeting setting in campaigns and ad groups is now available. We’ve added support for rule-based, logical, and basic user lists. You can now manage remarketing actions for a basic user list.
• Criteria types. Creating criteria with CriterionType MOBILE_APP_CATEGORY, WEBPAGE, OPERATING_SYSTEM_VERSION, and APP_PAYMENT_MODEL is now possible.
