Today, we’re announcing the v4 release of the Google Ads API beta. To use the v4 features, update your client library. If you are upgrading from v1, v2, or v3, some of your code may require changes when you switch to the new v4 endpoint. For more information on breaking changes, see the migration guide. If you are using v1, upgrade by July 29, 2020.

Here are the highlights:
  • Local campaigns. Local campaigns streamline the process for you, making it easy to promote your stores across Google’s largest properties including the Google Search Network, Maps, YouTube, and the Google Display Network.
  • Support for retrieving and reporting on Smart campaigns.
  • Support for account-level optimization score.
  • Keyword Planning. See the Planning section in the release notes for details.
  • Linking third party app analytics accounts to Google Ads accounts. See the Account Management section in the release notes for details.
