Can i link youtube channel to google ads accounts via API ? I know there is the flow to do it in UI as mentioned here https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/3063482?hl=en but i am looking for a way to do it via the API.

Thanks

Hi RJ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team. I hope that you are doing well today.

Linking of Youtube channels to Google Ads account is out of scope for our team. With this, you may refer to this link which you provided on how to link Youtube channels to Google Ads.

You may also reach out instead to the YouTube Help section via this link and Google Ads product team via this link, as they are better equipped to provide guidance on this matter.

Kind regards,

Google Ads API Team

Thanks, I am doing well, hope you are doing well also. Its out of scope as its not a feature supported via the API yet ? Is there a plan to add it to the API as its a Google ads feature from what i understand

Hi RJ,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Yes, this feature is not yet available via API. However, before we raise a feature request, could you please provide us a screenshot of the UI for the step by step procedure on how to link the Youtube channels in Google Ads?

Hello, this is the exact feature we need as well. We are building software for a large record label with thousands of artists and unique YouTube channels. So we need to be able to automate YouTube channel account linking via the API. Could we raise this as a feature request?

Here are screenshots showing the UI process to link a YouTube channel. Tedious to do this thousands of times!

Thank you for chiming in. Allow me to raise this concern to the rest of our team as a feature request. However, this will not be guaranteed. We can only suggest that you monitor our release notes (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/release-notes) and blog post (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/search/label/google_ads_api) for future updates.

Hello, I was looking for this for a project I'm working on and found this threat. This is something that we will definitely use once is available. It will be nice if we can prioritise this.

I really understand how important this feature is to you, however please note that our team does not have any visibility or any access to speed up the process of this feature to be available in the API. Please also note that this is a subject for review and what we can do for now is to advise you to keep an eye on our blog post and release notes for the updates and releases.

Hello, I came across this discussion while researching for a project I'm currently working on. This resource seems extremely valuable and is something we plan to incorporate once it's accessible. It would be greatly appreciated if we could prioritize its development.

Hi Ashish,

Kindly note that this feature is not supported by the Google Ads API. You may continue to link the YouTube channels and Google Ads accounts via the UI as per the instructions in this Help Center article.
