Hello Google Ads API Support,
 
I'm working with *Demand Gen campaigns* and need to configure *devices
controls at the campaign level*—specifically, to limit serving to *Computers
and Mobile Phones* ads only. This option is available in the Google Ads UI
(see attached screenshot), where I can manually select "Set specific
targeting for devices" and enable just the "Computers and Mobile Phones"
devices.
 
[image: Screenshot 2025-05-13 at 10.40.04 AM.png]
 
However, I cannot find any corresponding field or setting in the Google Ads
API documentation (v18 or v19) that allows me to replicate this
functionality programmatically through the API.
 
Could you please clarify:
 
1.

Is there a way to *set devices restrictions (e.g., Computers && Mobile
Phone only)* at the *campaign** level* via the Google Ads API?
2.

If so, what are the relevant fields or resource structures?
3.

If not yet available, is this feature in *beta*, and is there any
estimated timeline for *API support*?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
 
Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.
 
Please refer to the below response to your queries respectively.
 
Is there a way to set devices restrictions (e.g., Computers && Mobile Phone only) at the campaign level via the Google Ads API? If so, what are the relevant fields or resource structures?
 
Yes, you can target only computers or mobile phones. You can achieve this device targeting for specific devices using the bid_modifier value in CampaignCriterion. I would recommend you to refer to this guide for additional details, along with the bid_modifier guide.
 
 
 
Thanks,

Hi Team,
 
While creating a *Search campaign* in the Google Ads UI, I noticed that on
the *“Keyword and asset generation”* screen, once I enter only the *Final
URL*, the system automatically generates:
 
-

A suggested answer for *“What makes your products or services unique?”*
-

Relevant *keywords* for the ad group
-

Auto-generated *headlines*, *descriptions*, *sitelinks*, and *other
assets* for the ad

I've attached a screenshot for reference.
 
My question is:
*Is this automatic asset and keyword generation functionality available at
the API level?*
If yes, could you please guide me on:
 
1.

The relevant *API endpoints or services* we can use to access this
feature
2.

Any *requirements or parameters* we need to provide (e.g., Final URL)
3.

Where this functionality is documented in the API reference

Looking forward to your response. This would be extremely useful for
streamlining our campaign creation process via the API.
 
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
 
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
 
Yes, the keyword generation is possible in Google Ads API. You can achieve
this by generating keyword ideas for a campaign by using the
KeywordPlanIdeaService.GenerateKeywordIdeas
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v19/KeywordPlanIdeaService#generatekeywordideas>
service. You can provide keyword and URL seeds to generate ideas. Set
targeting parameters such as locations, language, and network settings to
narrow down your search. Historical statistics such as search volume data
are returned to help you determine if you want to use the keywords for your
campaign. For users familiar with the Google Ads UI, this is similar to Keyword
Planner <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6325025>. For more
information refer to the Generate keyword Ideas
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/keyword-planning/generate-keyword-ideas>
for more information.
 
Thanks,
Google Ads API Team.

Hi,
 
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
 
Please be informed that the library uses Python's built-in logging
<https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.html> framework and logs to
stderr by default. If included, the logging object defined in your
configuration is passed directly to logging.config.dictConfig
<https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/logging.config.html#logging.config.dictConfig>as
a dict. You can also configure logging programmatically by setting a
logging configuration before initializing the client. You can retrieve the
client logger instance and configure it with the following example:
 
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='[%(asctime)s -
%(levelname)s] %(message).5000s')
logging.getLogger('google.ads.googleads.client').setLevel(logging.INFO)
 
Note that the client logger is configured when the client is initialized.
Any subsequent changes to the logging configuration will be ignored. I
would recommend you refer to the guide Logging to get more information.
 
I hope this helps! If you need any further assistance, I recommend you
reach out to the Python client library owners via this link
<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/issues>, for further
assistance.
 
Thanks & Regards,
Google Ads API support team.

Hi,
 
I see that you are having issues with Google Ads API (Python client). I
would recommend that you reach out to the Python Client Library
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs/python>
owner by filing an issue in the issue tracker
<https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib/issues> on the issues
tab of your client library on GitHub, so that they can provide guidance on
it.

Thanks for the answer.
 
> ● The ClickConversion has a value set for gclid as well as at least one
of gbraid or wbraid. Update the conversion to use only one click ID, and
make sure you are not combining multiple clicks into the same conversion.
Each click has only one click ID.
 
This is not mentioned on any of the API documentation pages. I assume the
gclid is the better option to choose when it's availble, then.
 
> Tag is not firing on your website form
 
My message is mysteriously deleted (it did not include any PII that I can
see, though, as I redacted the identifiers?)
Anyway, in my message, I mentioned that I cannot change the web application
to install google tags, or google tag manager, and thus, I have to do all
the work using back-end requests.
Our ads use a final URL that hits a back-end endpoint that records the
necessary parameters, and redirects to an appropriate location in our
webapp.
Once the user converts, we upload the appropriate conversion action.
 
Is there something I need to do in this click-landing redirecting web
service to notify Google about the click landing, in lieu of the tag/tag
manager that I cannot use?

Additional information:
- yes, I have gone through all offline conversion provisioning, because
otherwise I wouldn't even get to this point of the API.
- yes, the action is Inactive, because Google is not accepting my
conversions. That's essentially the point of this question.
- the troubleshooter asks me to install google tags / google tag manager,
which I cannot do, and it doesn't tell me how to send the same signal in
another way

Dear Google Ads API Support Team,
 
I am currently implementing Enhanced Conversions for Leads using the Google
Ads API. On the client side, we are using `gtag('set', 'user_data')` to
pass normalized but unhashed email addresses. On the server side, we are
uploading hashed user identifiers using the `UploadClickConversions`
endpoint.
 
Despite this setup, we're seeing the message in Google Ads:
**"No user-provided data matches – Your Google tag is implemented correctly
on your website form, but there have been no matches with your imported
user-provided data."**
 
We followed the hashing guidance from the documentation [
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/upload-offline#prepare-data],
and our implementation hashes normalized email addresses using SHA-256.
However, we recently noticed that our C# implementation was producing
**uppercase hexadecimal hashes**, while Google-provided examples and tools
(Apps Script extension) output lowercase hashes.
 
Could you please confirm:
1. Does the casing of the hexadecimal hash (uppercase vs lowercase) affect
Google's ability to match user data?
2. Is it a strict requirement to send lowercase SHA-256 hashes in API
requests?
 
Thank you for your assistance.
 
Best regards,
Muhammad Adnan

No, the casing of the hexadecimal hash might not affect Google's ability to match user data.
 
>> Is it a strict requirement to send lowercase SHA-256 hashes in API requests?
 
According to the Google Ads API documentation, it is necessary to convert the text to lower case before hashing.
 
 
Thanks,

Muhammad Adnan <adnan...@gmail.com>: May 12 01:01PM -0700

Hello,
 
Thank you for the response.
 
I’m currently implementing Enhanced Conversions for Leads on my website
using the Google tag (`gtag.js`). I have followed the documentation and am
setting `user_data` with a normalized (but unhashed) email address.
 
When a lead is submitted, the lead data is stored in our CRM, and we then
upload the normalized and hashed email addresses using the Google Ads API
(`UploadClickConversions` endpoint).
 
Could you please confirm if this flow is required and sufficient for
Enhanced Conversions for Leads to function correctly?
 
Also, on the client side, this is how we are triggering the event:
 
```javascript
gtag('set', 'user_data', {
email: userEmailVariable
});
 
gtag('event', 'form_submit', {
'send_to': 'AW-1234567890'
});

I noticed that most documentation examples use ' form_submit' as the event
name instead of 'conversion'.
 
Could you please clarify:
 
Is it required to use 'conversion' as the event name in order for Enhanced
Conversions for Leads to properly match data?
 
Will using an event name like 'form_submit' prevent the enhanced conversion
data from being correctly registered in Google Ads?
 
I’d appreciate your confirmation, as we are currently seeing the message:
 
"No user-provided data matches" in the Google Ads.
 
Thanks again for your support.
 
Best regards,
Muhammad Adnan

Hi,
 
Regarding the event name, since you are using the Google tag, kindly reach out to the Tag Manager help or to these support options, as they are better equipped to assist you on this. Please note that our team specializes in Google Ads API-related concerns and technical implementations only.
 
The No user-provided data matches warning message triggered when no matches are found with the user-provided data. Please ensure that the data you have imported is properly normalized, hashed, and consistent with the data captured by your website forms. For privacy and security, the following data should be hashed using SHA-256 before uploading:
 
Email address
Phone number
First name
Last name
Street address
 
To ensure consistent hash results, please follow these steps before hashing any of the above values:
 
Remove any leading or trailing spaces.
Convert the text to lowercase.
Format phone numbers according to the E164 standard.
For Gmail or Googlemail addresses, remove any periods (.) before the domain name.
 
By ensuring these guidelines, you can help prevent mismatches in your data. Since you are uploading the enhanced leads conversions via the API, kindly refer to the prepare data for upload API documentation, where you can find the code examples of how you can upload the hashed user identifiers programmatically.
 
If you are still unable to resolve the issue, since you are uploading the conversion via the API, kindly provide the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end where conversions are uploaded via the API. This information will help us to understand if the issue originates from the API side.
 
Please note that you have to enable the logging if you are using a client library. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
 
You can send the details via the Reply privately to the author option or a direct private reply to this email.
 
Thanks,
 
Google Ads API Team

How to request ad/group/campaign data by region through Google Ads API
Google Ads API Forum Advisor <ads...@forumsupport.google>: May 12 04:39PM

Hi,
 
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
 
Based on the information provided, I understand that you are looking for guidance to retrieve the ad_group and campaign data segmented by region using the Google Ads API. I would recommend you to use the user_location_view or geographic_view resources to fetch the adgroup and campaign level data segmented by region through the Google Ads API. You need to make sure from where you are trying to retrieve the data before using any of the resources.
 
1. I would recommend you to use the user_location_view resource if you are trying to fetch the data from your Google Ads account > Campaigns tab > Audiences, keywords and content > Locations. However, I am sharing with you the sample GAQL query and the Google Ads UI screenshot for your reference.
 
SELECT user_location_view.country_criterion_id, user_location_view.resource_name, user_location_view.targeting_location,
campaign.id, ad_group.id, campaign.name, ad_group.name, metrics.clicks, metrics.impressions, metrics.cost_micros,
metrics.conversions, segments.geo_target_county FROM user_location_view
 
2. I would recommend you to use the geographic_view report if you are trying to fetch the data from your Google Ads account > Campaigns Tab > Insights and reports > When and where ads showed > Matched locations. However, I am sharing with you the sample GAQL query and the Google Ads UI screenshot for your reference.
 
SELECT geographic_view.country_criterion_id, geographic_view.location_type, geographic_view.resource_name,
segments.geo_target_region, campaign.id, ad_group.id, ad_group.name, campaign.name, metrics.clicks, metrics.impressions,
metrics.cost_micros, metrics.conversions FROM geographic_view
 
You can use the search or searchStream methods in making the API calls while retrieving the data. Additionally, you can utilize the Google Ads Query Builder and Query Validator to build and validate the queries for retrieving the data from the Google Ads API.
 
I hope this clarifies.
 
Thanks,

Dear Team,
 
I have a follow-up question related to targeting via audience segments.
 
As shown in the attached screenshot, when selecting an audience segment
(e.g., *Arts & Crafts Supplies*), the UI displays *weekly impression
estimates* (e.g., *100M – 500M*), along with details like location and
selected languages.
 
I would like to know:
*Is there an API available to retrieve the weekly impression estimates for
audience segments programmatically, similar to what is shown in the Google
Ads UI?*
 
If yes, could you please guide me to the appropriate endpoint or resource
for this purpose?
 
Thank you for your continued support.
Google Ads API Forum Advisor <ads...@forumsupport.google>: May 12 04:31PM

Hi,
 
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
 
Currently Google Ads API does not support retrieving the weekly impressions estimates for audience segments. However, I will raise a request to add this feature to be available in the Google Ads API. We cannot provide a scheduled timeline for the availability of this feature in the Google Ads API. With that being said, I would recommend you to follow our blog post and release notes for announcements about new API releases and features.
