Today we’re announcing the v2_1 releases of the
Google Ads API beta. To use the v2_1 features via the new endpoint, please update update your
client libraries. If you are upgrading from v1, some of your code may break when you switch to the new v2 endpoint. Please see the
migration guide for more information on breaking changes.
Here are the highlights:
- Introduced AdService for updating existing ads that were created using AdGroupAdService. Updating ads maintains existing metrics.
- Introduced summary rows when retrieving data from GoogleAdService.Search() by setting
return_summary_row to true in the request. The summary row contains the report totals.
- Introduced the AdGroupAdAssetView resource for querying ad asset metrics.
- Introduced the DistanceView resource (equivalent to the User Ad Distance Report in the AdWords API).
- Introduced the UserLocationView resource (equivalent to the Geo Performance Report where
isTargetingLocation is false in the AdWords API).
- Added the ability to retrieve all label resource names associated with the
AdGroup resource using AdGroup.labels and with the Campaign resource using Campaign.labels.
- Added
time_zone, test_account, manager, descriptive_name, currency_code, and id to CustomerClient to make it easier to retrieve customers in an account hierarchy.
