Hi Brian,
I understand that you are looking to get your account whitelisted for customer match. However, we do not have any recent updates on the change in customer match whitelist requirements on when this will be available for the other users. You could follow our
blog for more updates.
Regarding your second concern, for any Audience Partner API related concerns, we suggest that you reach to the Google representative that you are already in contact with, they will be able to take a look and address this.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Bharani, Google Ads API Team
