Announcing v201309 of AdWords API Posted: 03 Oct 2013 05:45 PM PDT Today we are releasing the AdWords API v201309. This latest release introduces offline conversion import, adds new reports and also makes several Beta features available to all API users. We've also reworked the AdWords API Developers site making it more friendly and easier to navigate. Take a look and let us know what you think! v201309 Highlights: Offline conversions import. This previously announced AdWords feature is now also available via the API with a new OfflineConversionFeedService and Upload Conversion tracker. Configurable Conversion Tracker lookback window. New Conversion tracker field allows to configure click-through conversion lookback window for AdWords and Offline conversion trackers. Reporting updates. Gender Performance and Age Range Performance reports have been added, Keywordless and Campaign Location Target reports are now available to all users. We've also included automatic placements into Placement Performance report. Five AdWords API features are now out of Beta. The following features are now available to all API users: Dynamic Search Ads, Display Criteria bid adjustments, Flexible (shared) Bidding Strategies, Ad Group Level Feeds and Location bid adjustments. Stat fields are now only available in reports. From this version and onwards the API will not return stats data via services anymore. Reporting can be used instead. Creating individual budgets. AdWords API v201309 now allows you to create individual (non-shared) budgets that can only be used by one campaign and are not displayed in the AdWords User Interface. A complete list of changes is available in the release notes. Note, as previously described, AdWords API v201309 is the last version to support the ClientLogin authorization method. If you are still using v201302 of the AdWords API, please note that it is being sunset on November 8, 2013. We encourage you to skip v201306 and migrate straight to v201309. If you're using v201306, be aware it is now marked deprecated and will be sunset on Mar 31st, 2014. With this release, we have also updated the Required Minimum Functionality document to include some of the newly added features that are now required in third-party tools. As with every new version of the AdWords API, we encourage you to carefully review all changes in the release notes and the v201309 migration guide. The updated client libraries and code examples will be published shortly. If you have any questions or need help with migration, please post on the forum or the Ads Developers Plus Page. - The AdWords API Team
