Hi,

I want to create a Customer List via. API call.
On the UI i can see that there is an option to upload a CSV file.

But, in the REST API documentation I don't see any fields for the same.

So, my questions are: 
  1. How to upload a CSV file having an Customer List via. REST API call?
  2. How to use the uploaded customer list to target my campaign?

Hi,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum. 

With regard to your questions, please refer to my answers below:

"1.How to upload a CSV file having an Customer List via. REST API call?"
I am afraid that the Google Ads API does not support uploading of a CSV file. With this, you will need to create a process on your end that will get the information from the CSV file to be supplied  with this implementation of uploading customer matches.

"2. How to use the uploaded customer list to target my campaign?"
You can use the CampaignCriterionService to associate customer lists to specific campaigns. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

I was just looking for some help around APIs and found your post. It looks like you could use our platform to build something easily with CSV files and APIs.
Let me know if you need help setting up an account, I am a developer myself and will be happy to help.

Hi Jinky,

"1.How to upload a CSV file having an Customer List via. REST API call?"
I am afraid that the Google Ads API does not support uploading of a CSV file. With this, you will need to create a process on your end that will get the information from the CSV file to be supplied  with this implementation of uploading customer matches. --> I will be able to manipulate the CSV file but how do I actually add the data to the customer list? Which API call should I use? What field should I use? Could you please provide the documentation link?

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I am also a member of the Google Ads API team and let me provide support to your concern.

I would suggest referring to this document to know more information about how to manage customer lists in Google Ads API. With the help of the document, you will know what information you need to consider in your CSV file to become parameters of the API requests and you will know what information you will extract from the prepared CSV file.

Let me know if you have questions with the provided document.
