New Google Ads API - pubsub model

[Jiri S]

Hi,

we have started recently using new Google Ads API with grpc transport layer and I was wondering if you have somewhere on your roadmap planned support for subscribing to metrics or other changes. 

I can image use cases like

- getting regularly campaign cost/clicks/avg cpc updates or after certain threshold is reached

- getting changes in account for auditing purposes

Thanks,

Jiri S.

This would be great - post events to a webhook rather than having to poll for them.

Hello Jiri,

Yes, Google Ads API will reach feature parity with AdWords API eventually but we are unable to comment on the timelines. You could refer this guide to know how to get campaign metrics via GoogleAds API Beta.  Change history is not yet available via GoogleAds API Beta. Meanwhile, you could keep an eye on our blog for future releases and let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.

Hello Teja,

thanks for the reply. 

My question/suggestion is not only about parity with AdWords API, but about going a few steps further and adding a possibility to subscribe to changes in metrics/change history as events instead of active polling. 

Thanks,

Jiri

Hello Jiri,

Thanks for the suggestions. As of now subscribing to changes in metrics/ change history feature is not available via GoogleAds API. I will share the details with our team.
