Support for BudgetOrders and UserLists in AdWords Scripts

We are excited to announce support for two new features in AdWords Scripts: BudgetOrdersand UserLists.

BudgetOrders: We are introducing read-only support for BudgetOrders. You can now access your BudgetOrders to retrieve information like account-level spending limit and credits from Google (note that your account must be on consolidated billing to use these features).

UserLists: You now have the opportunity to read and write some of the fields associated with the UserLists in your shared library. You can retrieve member counts, update membership lifespan, and open or close your user lists to new members.

When you're ready to try it out or learn more, check out the BudgetOrderand UserListsections of the left navigation bar under our AdWordsAppdocumentation. If you have any questions about this new feature or AdWords scripts in general, you can post them on our developer forum.

Read-only access for BudgetOrderService in AdWords API

Starting this week BudgetOrderService get requests are available for all users, regardless of API version.

Previously, usage of this service was allowed on a whitelist-only basis. Now, you can retrieve your budget orders without being added to the whitelist. This enables you to view the account-level spending limit.

You still need to be whitelisted to modify your budget orders via the API; this new access applies only to viewing existing budget orders. Keep in mind that BudgetOrderService will only work on accounts that have been set up for consolidated billing; otherwise you will get an error.

To get started, check out the BudgetOrderService guide. If you have any questions about this change or other API features, please post on the forum.
