Hi Google Ads API team,

I'd like to build a Chrome extension that connects to Google Ads and perform some tasks.

Is it possible to access the API from there, please?


many thanks,
Krzysztof

Thanks for the answer.

Have you seen any examples in this matter, please?

See,  I'm a Google Ads API developer. Not a Google employee.
You should consider them as well.

I'm aware of that.

But I hoped you can tell a bit more about the topic other than "can do".


Thanks,
Krzysztof

Hi Krzysztof,

You can access the API from anywhere you're able to execute network requests, so technically yes it should be possible to access the Google Ads API from a Chrome extension. It may be tricky though - my assumption is Chrome extensions are written in JavaScript and since we don't support a JavaScript client library you would need to build requests manually using the undocumented REST API. The best example of usage of the REST API that I can think of is in our Perl client library, and you can read the source code here.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Ben Karl, Google Ads API Team
