Today, we are releasing a new and improved version of the Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) interactive query builder. The new version is resource-centric and helps you build a GAQL query based on the resource in the FROM clause. There are two ways to to access the query builder:


Navigate to the developer documentation Reports tab. Expand the Query Builder on the left side of the page. Choose your resource.

Click the Help me build a query button for any resource in the reporting reference documentation.

Highlights

As users type, the new search bar filters fields dynamically.





We also designed this tool with a goal of educating developers about the Google Ads Query Language as they use it. The query builder dynamically surfaces hints (such as field compatibility)





and prompts (for example, to notify users of requirements to add fields to multiple clauses of a query).





The new query builder features “pretty print” mode to display queries in an easy to read format, as well as “interactive” mode, which provides the ability to remove and reorder fields directly within the query box.





As you get started with the new query builder, please feel free to share feedback by clicking the Send feedback button on the top right of any page.
