Upgrading to a newer version

[Stephen Barrett]

When upgrading to a newer version, do I need to overwrite the entire client library or just sections of it? What are the best practices? Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for reaching out. There may be reusable parts of your custom implementation, but the new Ads API is different from the old SOAP AdWords API. I'd recommend looking through the migration guide for more details on this. Like the AdWords API, the Ads API client libraries support code samples for almost all operations supported in the API. 

Please let us know if you have any specific questions on the new API.

Thank you. I'm migrating from version 8 to 9 and then 9 to 10. I'm only using the library for keywordideas and I just wanted to know if I had to overwrite my library multiple times to get to the latest version.

Hi Stephen,

Going from v8 to v10 of the Ads API should not require any changes to your implementation. For versions that contain changes to Keyword Planning, the release notes for that version will have a Planning section.

So I wouldn’t need to update any of the files - like the following in my getkeyword.php file?

use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\OAuth2TokenBuilder;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\V8\GoogleAdsClient;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\V8\GoogleAdsClientBuilder;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Util\V8\ResourceNames;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Enums\KeywordPlanNetworkEnum\KeywordPlanNetwork;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Services\GenerateKeywordIdeaResult;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Services\KeywordAndUrlSeed;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Services\KeywordSeed;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\V8\Services\UrlSeed;
use Google\Ads\GoogleAds\Lib\V8\GoogleAdsException;
use Google\ApiCore\ApiException;

Hi Stephen,

Yes, you would need to update the imports as they are referencing old versions of the API. If you are using the PHP keyword planning example, you can compare v10 example with your v8 code.

So I would need to update these files in my files to version 10, correct? Thanks!
