Google Ads API Invoices: a way to retrieve 'Automatic payment' based invoices

[Dmitry Savchenko]

Hello,

For a business purpose, we need to retrieve a list of invoices through Google Ads API but in the documentation prerequisites there is a demand for a linked payment method to be 'Monthly invoicing'. When we try to retrieve Invoices linked to the 'Automatic payment' API returns  the following error:

{
  {
    "errors": [
      {
        "errorCode": {
          "invoiceError": "BILLING_SETUP_NOT_ON_MONTHLY_INVOICING"
        },
        "message": "Cannot request invoices for a billing setup that is not on monthly invoicing."
      },
      {
        "errorCode": {
          "authorizationError": "ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED"
        },
        "message": "The user does not have permission to perform this action on the resource or call a method."
      }
    ],
    "requestId": "JcRFPaWI-A9Jl8lqMFpcRg"
  }
}

Obviously, it's due to the mentioned prerequisite. Our question is: are there any ways to retrieve Invoices through Google Ads API for 'Automatic payments'? And if not, are there any plans for such a possibility in the future?

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for reaching out to our API support team.

Regarding 'Automatic Payments', this does not appear to be currently supported in the API as per our invoice documentation.

That said, is this currently a feature that is available in the Google Ads UI's invoice view? If yes and so that I may create a feature request, subject for review, could you share the complete UI screenshot and send it over privately using the Reply privately to author option? If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,

As per the latest documentation, this is still not possible.

I would also like to fetch the statements that is available in the UI along with the PDF, but it seems there's no option to do that

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Could you please provide the uncropped UI screenshot of the statements that you want to fetch via the API? You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
