When is v201809 deprecated?

[Hector Ordonez]

Hello,

In the deprecation schedule page (this one) I do not see when this version deprecates. Where can I find this information?

Regards,

Hi Hector,

From the link that you pointed out, the date for the deprecation has been specified. As for the actual sunset, we currently do not have information as to when.

However, please take note that the date in the documentation may still change. For now, I would recommend that you follow our blog for any further updates or announcements regarding this topic.

Thanks and regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

The link only states the release date an not the deprecation date. I have four questions

• What is the deprecation date for v201809?
• Also, is it correct that the AdWords API is replaced by the Ad Manager API?
• Do you have any ETA on the deprecation date? Switching to the AdManager requires a lot of changes and we would like to be prepared.
• Do you recommend already updating to the Ad Manager?

Thanks!

Hi Philo, 

I'm Peter's colleague addressing your concern as he is out of office. Please find my response below:

What is the deprecation date for v201809?

Neither the deprecation nor the sunset date has been set yet. Please keep an eye on our blog for more updates on this. 

Also, is it correct that the AdWords API is replaced by the Ad Manager API?

The Google Ads API is the replacement of our AdWords API and brings significant advances in innovation and developer productivity. Please refer to this blog post for more information. 

Do you have any ETA on the deprecation date? Switching to the AdManager requires a lot of changes and we would like to be prepared.

The Google Ads API has been moved to beta recently. Once the product exits “beta”, we will announce the deprecation date and the sunset date will be at least 1 year after Google Ads API reaches feature parity with AdWords API. 

Do you recommend already updating to the Ad Manager?

The Ad Manager API is a completely different tool. The AdWords API and Google Ads API is used to make changes to the Google Ads account. We recommend to continue running production systems using the AdWords API. While Google Ads API is in “beta”, you may use the new API for testing and development work in preparation for future migration. Please keep in mind that during this "beta" phase, there may be breaking changes in the Google Ads API.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Bharani, Google Ads API Team
