Geographical Targeting Database

[JL]

Is there a way to download the full geographical ID database via API, or a single file that is always updated?  I see the files at https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting, but don’t see code of how to check for a version and automatically download the changed list (or only changes) via API.  The CSV files are created with new file names indicating update date, so I cannot just pull a single file consistently.

Thanks

Hello,

The AdWords API does not support city (Cities-DMA Regions) and country (Geographical Targeting) files to download or to get the updates.

These changes are infrequent and the CSV file name changes every time there is an update. However, the LocationCriterionService can be used to get the name of cities and countries for newly added Ids.
