Youtube Ads Api

[Carlos J Cegarra]

Hi, is there a way to create Youtube Campaigns/Video Ads using the API? I read some other comments that is not possible.

Thanks.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Team. I hope you are doing well today.

In relation to your concern, as mentioned in the API documentation: Differences from the Google Ads UI (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/overview), 

“Not all campaign types in the Google Ads UI are supported in the API, such as Video Campaigns. Video campaign metrics are available for retrieval in the API. However, video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the API, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups.”

For more information, please see the Google Ads article: About Video campaigns (https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6340491).

Have a great day.

Hi, is there any change on this? Can we create and modify (pause, enable, etc) youtube ads using an API, thanks.

Hi,

Note that video campaigns are not supported in the Google Ads API. Also, video campaigns cannot be mutated at all from the API, including simple operations such as pausing or enabling as well as complex operations like organizing, changing criteria, or adding ad groups. I would recommend you to check this guide for more information.
