Regarding the Google Ads API client library fo Go language

[Gian Snow]

As people have noticed that the Google Ads API client library for Go language which's not supported officially has been removed from the generated proto packages recently due to the reason in the following link.

https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go/pull/3214

Fortunately, The google ads API team told me that they will continue to publish and support the Google Ads API's protocol buffer definitions

which means the compiled libraries still can be generated.

I am one of person who have been developing a product with it and planning to launch it around the middle of next year.

I'm not thinking of replacing it to another client library due to influence ranges at the moment.

I hope the client library for Golang will be ready as soon as possible.

Hi Gian,

Thank you for sharing and posting news about Go lang client library. However, for the benefit of everyone referring to this forum thread, allow me to relay the information below :

We are regularly evaluating language support for our client libraries. Please voice your preferences on the Google Ads API support forum.

Also, although we have decided to remove the generated artifacts, we will continue to publish and support the Google Ads API’s protocol buffer definitions. The compiled Go libraries can be generated by running protoc directly on these source files. You can follow the instructions at https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf for Go to build these files. 

Lastly, please continue to follow blog as we will post there any news and updates about Google Ads API and AdWords API including about client libraries.

+1 to request for Go lang client library.  

In the meantime some documentation and examples of using compiled protobufs would be useful.

https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis says "It is difficult to generate Go gRPC source code from this repository, since Go has different directory structure. Please use this repository instead." but as Gian points out googleads compiled code has been removed from googleapis/go-genproto

Kind regards,

Justin.

I tried to generate Go client from googleapis proto files.

https://github.com/dictav/go-genproto-googleads

It worked fine for me, and my experiment went well. Now I'm confident that the official Go client will be released soon.

Hi Ernie thank you kindly for the reply.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to create the Go library from the proto files. I tried it using bezel, but it didn't seem to generate a Go library, and protoc, but was unable to give that command the full v9 directory as an input. For now I am using the repo which Shinta kindly posted above (https://github.com/dictav/go-genproto-googleads) which uses v8 and is flagged as experimental.

Until the client library is released, would it please be possible to get some official instructions about how to do this (Ubuntu 20.04)?

Many thanks in advance

Hi JM,

I am also member of Google Ads API Support. Thank you for providing updates to our team. 

The said client library which is experimental and uses v8, our team would not be able to provide official instructions about how to do this (Ubuntu 20.04) since its not officially supported client library. Note that any custom clients built using these artifacts are not officially supported by Google. For production ready client libraries, use our official client libraries at https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs.

For now, please keep an eye on our blog as we will post any relevant updates about the official Go client library when it becomes supported.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
