Announcing v202202 of the Google Ad Manager API

Lun 28 Cʼhwevrer 2022

We're pleased to announce that v202202 of the Google Ad Manager API is available starting today, February 28th. This release brings a long-awaited feature – Ad Manager hosted video creatives. Simply provide a URL for the video asset, and Ad Manager will read and transcode it. While API support has been added, this feature is still rolling out to Ad Manager networks and may not yet be available in yours. Networks with this feature disabled will continue to receive CreativeSetError.CANNOT_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_VIDEO_CREATIVES. MCM companies now include information about the status of onboarding tasks and Sellers.json identifiers. There are also some maintenance updates removing deprecated features, like AdExclusionRuleService and Proposal pause information. For the full list of changes, check the release notes. Feel free to reach out to us on the Ad Manager API forum with any API-related questions.

Sunset of the Ad Manager API v202102

Mercʼher 9 Cʼhwevrer 2022

On Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in accordance with the deprecation schedule, v202102 of the Ad Manager API will sunset. At that time, any requests made to this version will return errors. If you’re still using v202102, now is the time to upgrade to a newer release and take advantage of additional functionality. For example, in v202105 and newer versions we added support for pushing creative previews to linked devices. When you’re ready to upgrade, check the full release notes to identify any breaking changes. Here are a few examples of changes that may impact your applications:

v202105

Support was removed for filtering on the field keyValueMemberContent in CmsMetadataService.getCmsMetadataValuesByStatement. Use Content.cmsMetadataValueIds instead.

v202108

On the MobileApplication object, the singular field appStore was changed to the list field appStores.

As always, don't hesitate to reach out to us on the developer forum with any questions.

Support for creating and updating Customer Match FirstAndThirdPartyAudience resources.

A new reservationType field in InsertionOrder and LineItem resources that identifies whether a resource is Tag Guaranteed, Programmatic Guaranteed, or not guaranteed.

The ability to retrieve and set whether a line item automatically targets new exchanges through a new excludeNewExchanges field.

In addition to these new features, this update also doubles existing default API request limits for the Display & Video 360 API. The updated quota values can be found on our usage limits documentation. More detailed information about this update can be found in the Display & Video 360 API release notes.
