Site URL Update - Can AdWords API Help?

[Sarah H]

Hi,

Is there any feature of the AdWords API that could be used to help with updating ALL final URLs within an AdWords account?

To give some context, all URLs will be updated, and it's not just a http to https change, it's more broad than that. So all keyword, ad, sitelink URLs will need updating.

They will redirect so we won't need to action this all at once but it would still be good to get this process as automated as possible.

If AdWords API isn't the right tool, but anyone has experience using another method, please let me know!

Thank you

Hi Sarah,

In order to update the all final urls via AdWords API, you would use the AdGroupAdService to get the urls associated with your current ads, then, create new ads with your updated urls in the account as you can only modify the status of an ad. This code in java may be a good starter. Sample codes in other languages available here. This sample code shows how to update ad extensions. Else, if you are inclined towards knowing if AdWords Scripts may work better in this scenario, could you please post on the Scripts Forum. Please let me know if you have further questions.
