Announcing v11_1 of the Google Ads API

Today we’re announcing the v11_1 release of the Google Ads API. To use some of the v11_1 features, you will need to upgrade your client libraries and client code. The updated client libraries and code examples will be published next week. This version has no breaking changes.

Here are the highlights:

• Added UpgradeLocalCampaignToPerformanceMaxRecommendation to help you migrate from Local campaigns to Performance Max campaigns (more details).
• Added Campaign.bidding_strategy_system_status to show the system status of the bidding strategy. It’ll help you understand if the bidding strategy is learning, limited, or misconfigured, etc. This addresses a long standing feature request to surface learning status in the API.
• Added FlexibleRuleUserListInfo for creating user lists in a more flexible way. This is also a replacement for DateSpecificRuleUserListInfo that was removed in the previous release.
• Enabled creation of experiments using GoogleAdsService.Mutate(). Previously, it was possible only when using ExperimentService.
• Added more features to reach forecasting, which lets you
  • Specify affinity and in-market categories when calling ReachPlanService.GenerateReachForecast.
  • Specify YouTubeSelectSettings when calling ReachPlanService.GenerateReachForecast.
  • Retrieve YouTubeSelectLineUp when calling ReachPlanService.ListPlannableProducts.
