Hi Sunil,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Unfortunately both AdWords and Google Ads API do not support creating and editing video ads/campaigns via the API. You can read more about this here and here. However, you can still create and edit these video campaigns and ads via the UI. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you,

Hi Sunil,

Unfortunately there currently isn't an alternative via the API. However, I can request for this feature to be added to future installments of Google Ads API. Would you like me to request this?

Otherwise, you can reach out to the Google Ads Product Support Team to see if there are other ways to automate this via the UI. Please let me know.

Hi, 
As there's still no support for this, can you please share an update if you have a plan to support it in the future? Is it something prioritized in your roadmap? Raising this as I saw quite a lot threads related to this, and to be honest, not having this up until now is very surprising.

Thanks,
Yossi

Hi Yossi,

Thank you for reaching out. As of now we haven’t received any feedback about the release of the creation/management feature of the YouTube/Video ads in the Google Ads API. We don’t have a set timeline for that feature to be released. Please continue to keep an eye on our blog for the announcements and updates on new releases.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
