Sunsetting Display & Video 360 Entity Read Files on October 31, 2024

יום רביעי, 31 בינואר 2024

On October 31, 2024, Display & Video 360 Entity Read Files (ERFs) will sunset. Public and private ERFs won’t be generated after this date. Migrate to the Display & Video 360 API to continue programmatically retrieving Display & Video 360 resource configurations. ERFs were deprecated in June 2021. Since then, we’ve made updates to help you migrate from ERFs:

You can retrieve Floodlight Activities and YouTube & Partners resources (line items, ad groups, and ads) using the Display & Video 360 API.

Starting with Structured Data Files v7, you can use IDs retrieved through the Display & Video 360 API in place of ERFs.

See our migration guide for more information on migrating from ERFs to the Display & Video 360 API. If you have questions regarding these changes, please contact us using our support contact form.

Update to Display & Video 360 API Terms of Service to ensure Online Behavior Advertising compliance

יום רביעי, 24 בינואר 2024

On February 9, 2024, we will update the Display & Video 360 API Terms of Service to add new language that supports announced changes to promote advertiser transparency and content reporting in Display & Video 360. The new language specifies that, by setting the Advertiser resource field obaComplianceDisabled to true, you are attesting to using an alternative ad badging, transparency, and reporting solution for ads served in the European Economic Area (EEA) such that the following requirements are met:

The alternative solution includes any required transparency information and a mechanism for reporting illegal content.

You notify Google of any illegal content reports using this form.

The obaComplianceDisabled field description will also be updated to reflect this change. If you have questions regarding these changes, please contact us using our support contact form.

Deprecation of cross-device conversion metric values in the Bid Manager API

יום רביעי, 17 בינואר 2024

Today we’re deprecating cross-device conversion metric values in Bid Manager API. The following values will sunset on February 28, 2024:

METRIC_CM360_POST_CLICK_REVENUE_CROSS_ENVIRONMENT

METRIC_POST_CLICK_CONVERSIONS_CROSS_ENVIRONMENT

Upon sunset, queries.create requests using these values will return an INVALID_ARGUMENT error, and these values will be removed from existing Query resources. We’ve added the upcoming sunset to our change log. To avoid an interruption of service, we recommend that you stop creating any reports using these values before the applicable sunset date. If you have questions regarding these changes, please contact us using our support contact form.
