Sunsetting the KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE recommendation type

On July 21, 2021, all existing recommendations of the type KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE will be removed and no new recommendations of this type will be generated anymore.

What's changing?
The KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE recommendations will no longer be returned by search for all versions of the Google Ads API and Google Ads scripts.

All requests sent to apply or dismiss KEYWORD_MATCH_TYPE recommendations will fail with RequestError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND errors for all versions of the Google Ads API.

What do you need to do?
Before July 21, 2021, ensure that the changes described above will not lead to any issues in your code or application.

Then, as soon as you can, remove any references of the field Recommendation.keyword_match_type_recommendation and the type KeywordMatchTypeRecommendation in your code. They will be deprecated and removed in future versions.
