Did developers.google.com/google-ads/api/data/geotargets got updated recently

[Su Li]

Hi Google team,

I want to ask if developers.google.com/google-ads/api/data/geotargets has updated since 04/10/2023?

It because we have a job to download CSV file from that page. But recently it failed to get the file.

I checked previous discussion, it seems the download link and file format has changed: https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/87HzLSSGdqw/m/8GSowlBFAwAJ

The download link has changed to "<p><a href="/static/google-ads/api/data/geo/geotargets-2023-03-28.csv.zip" class="download button">Latest zipped CSV (2023-03-28)</a> </p>"

The file format has been changed from CSV to zip file.

Want to confirm with your team about the change.

Best,

Su

Hi Su,

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

With regards to your concern,you may refer to Geo targets documentation for more information. You may also refer to Download CSV of geo target for the available csv files on Google Ads API. You may download the Latest zipped CSV (2023-03-28) or the Previous zipped CSV (2022-12-21). After you download the following file you may then unzip the following and inside is the CSV file.

Additionally, to retrieve geo targets directly from the Google Ads API, you may perform a query to the geo_target_constant field.

Let me know if this clarifies your concerns.
