Google Ads API v17_1 introduces new features and enhancements

Google announced the release of v17_1 of the Google Ads API, introducing several new features and updates for developers and advertisers.

Key Updates:

• ShareablePreviewService.GenerateShareablePreviews(): Generates shareable ad preview URLs for enabled and paused ،et groups, with expiration dates included.
• AdGroupAdService.RemoveAutomaticallyCreatedAssets(): Allows removal of automatically created ،ets linked to Responsive Search Ads.
• New ASSET_GROUP change status resource type.
• New offline_conversion_upload_conversion_action_summary report for offline conversion diagnostics.
• Added metrics to offline diagnostics reports to track conversions still being processed.
• Support for segments.sk_ad_network_version and segments.date for per_store_view segmentation.
• Retrieving information on video campaign bidding strategies, including Fixed CPM and Target CPV.
• New segments.ad_format_type for compatible reports.

Why we care. These updates provide advertisers and developers with more granular control, insights and flexibility when working with the Google Ads API. The new preview, ،et management, and offline conversion diagnostics features, in particular, address common pain points.

What’s Next. Developers will need to upgrade their client li،ries and code to take advantage of the v17_1 features, which will be published next week. Google notes that this release has no breaking changes.
