Changes to Hotel Ads pricing buckets in the Google Ads API

On February 23rd, Google Ads API will be changing the way Hotel price buckets returns data by utilizing two new values in the hotel_price_bucket segment. Those new values will be added as enums in v6_1, “Lowest Unique” and “Only partner shown”.

Because there is overlap between the two new values and the existing “Lowest tied” value, after February 23rd developers using API versions earlier than v6_1 will see reports with the “Unknown” value wherever the two new values would be shown. This can result in one or two rows with the “Unknown” value.

Example:
Currently, data for ONLY_PARTER_SHOWN and LOWEST_UNIQUE are not returned, instead data is only shown for LOWEST_TIED.

LOWEST_TIED

12

Once the changes are released on February 23rd, developers on API versions v6_1 and greater will see the two new ONLY_PARTER_SHOWN and LOWEST_UNIQUE values, with the two new price buckets being displayed.

LOWEST_UNIQUE	3
ONLY_PARTER_SHOWN	4
LOWEST_TIED	5

After the changes are released on February 23rd, any developers on API versions lower than v6_1 will see “UNKNOWN” where the new values would have otherwise been shown.

UNKNOWN	3
UNKNOWN	4
LOWEST_TIED	5
