AdWords API v201705 and v201708 sunset reminder

Both AdWords API v201705 and v201708 will be sunset on March 28, 2018. After this date, all v201705 and v201708 API requests will begin to fail. If you haven't already migrated to v201710, we recommend that you skip v201710 and migrate directly to v201802. Please migrate prior to March 28, 2018 to ensure your API access is unaffected.

We've prepared the following resources to help you with the migration: As always, if you have any questions about this migration, please contact us via the forum.

AdWords scripts now supports v201708 and v201710 in reports

We have added support for AdWords API v201708 and v201710 reports in AdWords scripts.

The major changes in v201708 are:
  • New fields in various report types.
  • The TABLE_EXTENSION enum value for ClickType was renamed to PRICE_EXTENSION.
  • See the full AdWords API release notes for more details.
The major changes in v201710 are:
  • The Automated field was added to the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.
  • The EnhancedCpvEnabled field was removed from all reports.
  • See the full AdWords API release notes for more details.
In addition to these changes, v201705 is now the default version for reports. You can use one of the newly supported versions instead by specifying the apiVersion in your report request:
var report = AdWordsApp.report(query, {
    apiVersion: 'v201710'
});

If you have any questions about these changes or AdWords scripts in general, you can post them on our developer forum.

AdWords API release and sunset schedule in 2018

In 2016 and 2017 we supported at least three versions of the AdWords API at any given time and four versions for a brief period after each new release. This led to older versions of the API supporting outdated functionality and lacking new features.

To improve your AdWords API experience, we will be updating our release schedule. Starting in March 2018 we will only support two releases concurrently at all times, and three releases for a brief period of four weeks, allowing developers to skip a version. To get us back on schedule, we will concurrently sunset v201705 and v201708 in March 2018. This brings the average lifespan of every API version released in 2018 down to nine months.

Additionally, we will be moving back to a schedule that releases three versions per year. The 2018 releases are scheduled for February, June and September.

As usual, make sure to check our deprecation schedule for more details on sunsets. If you have any questions about the new schedule, please reach out to us on the AdWords API forum or the Ads Developers Plus Page.
