Google Ads APIclient librariesmigration guide

We’ve added cross-account bidding strategies, which allow for attaching manager-owned bidding strategies to client accounts. Also included is a new resource, AccessibleBiddingStrategy, which provides a read-only view of all bidding strategies accessible to the current customer (including portfolio strategies owned by the customer and cross-account bidding strategies shared with the customer).

You can now retrieve labels managed by the manager account using CustomerClient.applied_labels.

CallOnlyAdInfo is replaced with CallAdInfo to support more capabilities of this ad type. This includes the ability to append text after the URL displayed in the Ad using fields CallAdInfo.path1 and CallAdInfo.path2.

ClickConversion now supports cart_data for uploading conversions with the additional information on the items sold.

Several fields added to TransactionAttribute and UserAttribute allow you to associate more information about a sold item and a user’s purchase record, when uploading user data using UserDataService or OfflineUserDataJobService.

We’ve added support for Smart campaigns, which allows for creating, monitoring and managing smart campaign types. Smart campaigns are highly automated, efficient campaigns designed to maximize returns with minimal ongoing management. For more details, visit our development guide.
