AdWords API depreciation & Ads API release dates

[Alex Mansour]

Hey Google Ads API Team, 

We are starting a new project where we will be integrating with Google Ads. 

Since the Ads API is still in Beta; do you have an ETA when you will be releasing the production version?

And as for AdWords API, what is the expected depreciation date?

On the other hand, please advise which API we should be using?

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Throughout the remainder of the Beta, the AdWords API will continue to be the primary API for programmatically accessing and managing Google Ads campaigns. When deciding whether to use the Google Ads API Beta to run production systems, please keep in mind that we may release updates in preparation for general availability. As a reminder, changes will be released in new versions of the Google Ads API Beta. They will not affect your existing code unless announced otherwise on this blog. More details in this blog post.

There are no sunset plans that we can share with you at this point in time. Once the Google Ads API becomes generally available (i.e. exits "beta"), we will announce the sunset date, which will be at least 1 year after Google Ads API reaches full feature parity with the AdWords API. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you,
Bryan, Google Ads API Team
