Should we replace the AdWords API by the Ads API?

[Rafael Ramos]

Hello my friends, Initially, I apologize if I am bringing a question that another friend has already made. We've been using the AdWords API for approximately 3 years. We recently saw this announcement stating that there is a new Google Ads API (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2019/03/upgrade-to-new-google-ads-api-to-get.html). However, it is not clear to us: - Should we replace the AdWords API by the Ads API? If yes, should we replace until when? - do I really need to override or will the AdWords API work in parallel to the Ads API? Thank you!

Hi Rafael,

No worries, we're happy to assist you with your concern. Regarding the AdWords API, it should still be available for users until sometime in 2020 as stated here. However, I would recommend that you already start planning your migration to the new Google Ads API, and migrate fully as early as possible.

I would also recommend that you follow our blog (if you haven't yet) and regularly check for announcements/updates between the two APIs. Let me know if this helps and feel free to write back if you have additional clarifications.

Thanks and regards,
Peter
