We're thrilled to announce significant improvements to the Google Ads API documentation , designed to make your development experience smoother, faster, and more intuitive. These changes are a direct result of valuable feedback from our incredible API developer community.
Our goal was simple: enhance discoverability and reduce the need to jump between pages, so you can spend less time searching and more time building. Let's dive into what's new:
1. Easier campaign type discovery and implementation
One of the most requested features was clearer guidance on supported campaign types . You can now more easily identify which campaign types the API supports and, crucially, find all the resources you need to implement them directly within the documentation. This streamlines your workflow from discovery to deployment.
2. Unified reporting and reference documentation
We've merged our Reporting and Reference documentation into a single location. This means all your essential references are now together, providing a more comprehensive and less fragmented experience when you're working with data and API specifics.
3. Seamless gRPC and REST integration
For those who switch between gRPC and REST , we've introduced a highly anticipated feature: a one-button toggle!
This lets you effortlessly switch between the two protocols on the same page. If you haven't yet, we highly recommend trying out our Try-it feature directly from the developer site. With gRPC and REST now co-located, accessing Try-it is more efficient than ever, making it perfect for quickly testing new features and requests.
4. Reorganized and clustered guides
All your familiar guides are still there, but we've given them a thoughtful re-ordering. Guides with similar features are now clustered together, creating a more logical flow and helping you navigate to related topics more quickly. This thoughtful reorganization aims to reduce friction and enhance your learning.
We want your feedback!
