We're pleased to announce that v202202 of the Google Ad Manager API is available starting today, February 28th. This release brings a long-awaited feature – Ad Manager hosted video creatives. Simply provide a URL for the video asset, and Ad Manager will read and transcode it.

While API support has been added, this feature is still rolling out to Ad Manager networks and may not yet be available in yours. Networks with this feature disabled will continue to receive CreativeSetError.CANNOT_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_VIDEO_CREATIVES.

MCM companies now include information about the status of onboarding tasks and Sellers.json identifiers.

There are also some maintenance updates removing deprecated features, like AdExclusionRuleService and Proposal pause information.

For the full list of changes, check the release notes. Feel free to reach out to us on the Ad Manager API forum with any API-related questions.
