AdWords API v201603 sunset reminder

AdWords API v201603 will be sunset on October 31, 2016, after which all v201603 API requests will begin to fail. This version was deprecated on July 28, 2016. If you are still on v201603, we recommend that you skip v201605 and v201607 and migrate directly to v201609. Please be sure to migrate prior to the sunset to ensure your API access is unaffected.

We've prepared various resources to help you with the migration:

As always, if you have any questions about this migration, please contact us via the forum.

Support for v201603 reports in AdWords Scripts

We have added support for AdWords API v201603 reports in AdWords scripts. The major changes in this release are:

Campaign Performance Report now returns data for Universal App Campaigns. Look for rows where AdvertisingChannelType is MULTI_CHANNEL or AdvertisingChannelSubType is UNIVERSAL_APP_CAMPAIGN.
The new TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT is now available. This report lets you view stats and bid modifiers for the new PreferredContent criterion type.
New report fields have been added to some reports.

See the AdWords API release notes for more details.

Starting from this release, we will not switch to the latest reporting version on the day of the release by default. Instead, we will keep the previous report version as the default version for a while before switching to the latest reports version. This will give you enough time to verify your scripts and make sure it works with the latest report version.

If you use API versioning in your reports, you need to modify your code to use v201603 as shown below.


var report = AdWordsApp.report(query, {
   apiVersion: 'v201603'
});

If you don’t use API versioning, no code changes are required. Your reports will continue using v201601 for now, and switch to v201603 when we make v201603 the default version on May 17, 2016.

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

Announcing v201603 of the AdWords API

Today we’re announcing the release of AdWords API v201603. This is the second release that follows the new release schedule announced in January 2016. Here are the highlights:

Campaign drafts and experiments. A new suite of services in v201603 gives you more options and control over experimenting with your Search Network and Search Network with Display Select campaign experiments. Check out the new Campaign Drafts and Experiments guide for all the exciting details! If you're currently using ExperimentService to manage your experiments, we recommend migrating to the new suite of services so you can make the most of your experiments.
More flexibility with Target CPA and Target Spend. Following the revamped workflow for automated bidding announcement last month, the TARGET_CPA and TARGET_SPEND (Maximize clicks) bidding strategies can be created either as portfolio strategies (to share across multiple campaigns) or as standard strategies (to use with only one campaign). In addition, portfolio TARGET_CPA bidding strategies now support different CPA targets for individual ad groups.
Top content bid modifiers. The new PreferredContent criteria type allows you to set a bid modifier for top content on YouTube or the Google Display Network, and the new TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT lets you monitor your ad group's performance relative to those bid modifiers.
Campaign mobile bid modifier simulations. DataService has new getCampaignCriterionBidLandscape and queryCampaignCriterionBidLandscape methods that will return bid simulations for campaign-level HighEndMobile Platform (ID 30001) bid modifiers.
Universal app campaigns in reports. Reports now include data for Universal App Campaigns. You can identify these campaigns by looking for AdvertisingChannelType MULTI_CHANNEL or AdvertisingChannelSubType UNIVERSAL_APP_CAMPAIGN.
Batch processing. BatchJobService now supports job cancellation in all versions of the API. MutateJobService has been removed in v201603, so be sure to check out the migration information if you have not yet transitioned to BatchJobService.
Targeting extensions. Extension setting services now support setting campaign, ad group, keyword, and location targeting for each ExtensionFeedItem, as shown in the updated code examples.
Reporting improvements. Ad group bid modifiers are now available via the new AdGroupMobileBidModifier field in the ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report. Null values will appear as two dashes (--) for String fields in all reports.

If you’re using v201509 of the AdWords API, please note that it’s now deprecated and will be sunset on June 21st, 2016. We encourage you to skip v201601 and migrate straight to v201603.

As with every new version of the AdWords API, we encourage you to carefully review all changes in the release notes and the v201603 migration guide. The updated client libraries and code examples will be published shortly. With this release, we’ve also updated the Required Minimum Functionality document to include some of the newly added features.

If you have any questions or need help with migration, please post on the forum or the Ads Developers Plus Page.
