Announcing v2 of the AdSense Management API

We're happy to announce that v2 of the AdSense Management API is available starting today. This version adds the ability to fetch the status of sites on your account and aligns the AdSense Management API with current Google API standards.

At this time, v1.4 of the AdSense Management API is now deprecated, and it will sunset on October 12, 2021.

Notable changes from v1.4 to v2 include the following:
  • All deprecated methods in v1.4 have been removed in v2. This includes resource methods that did not specify an AdSense account.
  • Resources are now identified by a name field. For example, an AdClient’s name would be “accounts/{accountId}/adclients/{adClientId}”.
  • With v2, AdSense Management API reporting data now aligns with the AdSense UI. This means that AdMob and YouTube properties are no longer supported. If you need to continue to fetch AdMob data programmatically, please migrate to the AdMob API. Additionally, the AdSense Management API will only support report data going back 3 years.

For a full list of changes, see the release notes. As always, feel free to reach out to us on the AdSense API forum with any API-related questions.

Announcing v202102 of the Google Ad Manager API

We're happy to announce that v202102 of the Google Ad Manager API is available starting today. Upgrade to this version to take advantage of new functionality, including CreativeSizeType.IGNORED for click-tracking entities, where size doesn't matter, or for entities that allow all requested sizes, where the size represents all sizes.

Additionally, there are several highly-requested report dimensions added in v202102.

Dimension name Report data break down
BROWSER_NAME Name and version number of the user's browser
VIDEO_PLACEMENT_NAME Video placement (e.g., in-article, in-stream, and in-feed)
CLASSIFIED_YIELD_PARTNER_NAME Detected yield partner name, as classified by Google
DOMAIN Top private domain, such as "example.co.uk" (excludes subdomains)


Finally, if you use the Ad Manager API to create video LineItems, v202102 now requires that LineItem.videoMaxDuration is greater than 0. This new validation applies to newly created video LineItems as well as updates. If you think you might be affected, you should update any code that creates video LineItems to set videoMaxDuration to be greater than 0 and scan your network for existing video LineItems with videoMaxDuration set to 0.

For the full list of changes for v202102 and all other active API versions, check the release notes. Feel free to reach out to us on the Ad Manager API forum with any API-related questions.

Announcing new AdMob API methods and authorization scope

Today we are announcing the launch of two new features in the AdMob API:

  • New admob.readonly OAuth 2.0 scope
  • Inventory methods including list apps and ad units

New OAuth 2.0 scope

While the admob.report scope is only intended for reports, the new admob.readonly scope is intended for all read methods, including reports and inventory. We recommend using the admob.readonly scope as it can be used for all read only methods.

Scope Functionality
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.readonly See all of your AdMob data. This may include your account information, inventory and mediation settings, reports, and other data. If you agree, this app will be allowed to see, but not make changes to your AdMob data. This doesn't include sensitive data, such as payments or campaign details.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admob.report See ad performance and earnings reports.

See publisher ID, timezone and default currency code.



New methods

We have added the following new methods to the v1beta AdMob API, which allow you to view your AdMob apps and ad units.

How can I start using the new methods and scope?

The beta is available to all AdMob users. You can start with the client libraries that we have created for you.

Where can I learn more?

Feel free to reach out to us via the AdMob API forum if you have questions or feedback regarding the AdMob API.
