Announcing v13_1 of the Google Ads API

Today, we’re announcing the v13_1 release of the Google Ads API. To use some of the v13_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:

• You can now retrieve bid simulations at a campaign level for Performance Max through campaign_simulation.
• We added several recommendation types related to Shopping campaigns, such as recommendations to migrate to Performance Max and recommendations to fix a Merchant Center account’s suspension.
• Google Ads now accepts SKAdNetwork conversion value schemas for iOS App campaigns. Learn more about setting up your schema and best practices for your iOS campaigns.
• We added LeadFormField.has_location_answer to support specifying whether locations of the location assets at the campaign or customer level should be displayed with a lead form.
• (Allowlisted feature) Performance Max campaigns now have a VEHICLES listing type in the newly Campaign.listing_type field. This replaces ShoppingSetting.use_vehicles_inventory, which will be reserved for Smart Shopping campaigns.
