Over the next several Google Ads API updates, we'll be adding new types of resources you can track using the ChangeStatus
feature.
What this means for you:
More detailed tracking : You'll soon be able to better track changes to your Google Ads accounts.
Important - Check for UNKNOWN
changes : Even in older versions of the API, you might start seeing new change entries. These entries will show up as UNKNOWN
resource types because the older versions won’t support the new values.
How to prepare:
Handle UNKNOWN
: If your app uses ChangeStatus
, make sure it can handle entries with a resource type of UNKNOWN
. This will prevent errors when the new types are added.
Update to the latest API version : Once the new version is released, updating your app will show the correct, specific names of the new change types instead of UNKNOWN
.
We'll announce the exact new resource types in the release notes when the update is live.
If you have any questions, please ask them in the Google Ads API forum . We're here to help!
