As part of Google’s effort to foster inclusivity in our products and communities, we will be changing the name of the default branch to main in the Google Ads API client libraries. This change is a small but important step towards making diversity, equity, and inclusion central to our work on the Google Ads API.

This change won’t affect most client library users who access the libraries through a distribution platform like PyPi for Python or Maven for Java. Users who access the libraries directly from the default branch on GitHub should start using the new main branch once it’s available. We encourage contributors who own forks of these client libraries to update them accordingly.

If you have any questions about this change, please file an issue on the issues tracker for your client library of choice (like Python). As always, please feel free to contact us through the forum or at googleadsapi-support@google.com for additional help.

This is the final reminder that v1.4 of the AdSense Management API will sunset on October 12, 2021. Any requests made this this version will stop working on this date. If you haven’t already migrated to v2 of the AdSense Management API, now is the time to do so.

For help with migrating, see our migration overview guide. We also have updated examples for all five of our client libraries: Java, Python, Ruby, PHP, and .NET. For a full list of changes, see the release notes.

As always, feel free to reach out to us on the AdSense API forum with any API-related questions.

With the updates listed below, we're improving the search term reports returned from both the Google Ads API and the AdWords API across all active versions.

Starting Sep 9, 2021, you'll be able to see more queries that meet our privacy standards in the search terms report for Search and Dynamic Search Ads campaigns. This new data will return for all searches on or after February 1st, 2021 when using the following reports and resources:

• Google Ads API - search_term_view Resource
• AdWords API - Keywordless Query Report
• AdWords API - Search Query Performance Report

This update can help you identify more relevant keyword themes, making it easier to optimize your ads, landing pages, and more. Metric totals from search terms reports will now be consistent with other reports, such as campaign, ad group, and ad reports in Google Ads.

As part of our ongoing commitment to privacy, we’re working to make our privacy thresholds consistent across Google. Over the next few months, you’ll see more changes across our other tools–including how we handle historical data. In Google Ads, this means that historical query data in your account that was collected prior to September 1st, 2020 will be available until February 1st, 2022. At that point, any historical queries that no longer meet our current privacy thresholds will be removed from your search terms report.

If you have any questions about this change or any other API feature, please contact us via the forum.
