Google Upload Video Questions

[YangYang Wang]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a maximum impact campaign using the Google Ads API.

During use, I have successfully uploaded pictures and Youtube videos to my account assets. However, as for uploading videos, I have encountered two problems, and I need your help to answer them.

The first question is, can I upload my local videos into my account and use them as assets? Instead of uploading them to YouTube, they can be directly converted into assets of my account through the Goole API.

The second question is, if I can't upload a video directly using local video, how can I upload a video to YouTube through Google API and then get the YouTube video ID and upload it.

If these two problems are not solved, I think it will be a big trouble.

I look forward to your reply. Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

To upload local videos into the Google Ads account, you may check this article on How to access, add, or remove assets from the asset library. 

Kindly not that it's not possible to upload a video to YouTube through Google Ads API. Also, note that video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the Google Ads API, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups. I would recommend you to check this guide for more information.
