There have been some smaller API updates and announcements that we'd like to let you know about!

• We've published a new Getting started with Local Inventory Ads guide to walk you through the process of using the new LIA onboarding features in the Content API.
• There's a new codelab available on creating and linking AdWords and Merchant Center sub-accounts!
• You can now filter results by destination for Productstatuses and Accountstatuses method calls with the new destinations query parameter. If you don't specify a destination, you'll still only get Shopping-related issues, so there is no change to the default functionality.
• You can specify holiday shipping cut-offs for shipping services as well. The supported holidays are available via the Shippingsettings.getsupportedholidays method.
• You can specify when a particular shipping service is eligible for products. The new services[].eligibility field allows you to specify whether the shipping service applies to products bought via Shopping Actions and/or when bought in some other manner, such as via your own storefront.
• We've added a new Datafeeds.fetchnow method to request an immediate fetch of a scheduled feed. Use this method to get feedback on a newly scheduled feed faster than waiting for the first scheduled fetch.

If you have any questions or feedback about these items or any other questions about the Content API for Shopping, please let us know on the forum.
