Question About Viewing Budget Change History Made via the Google Ads API

[static bin]

Dear Google Ads Support Team,

I would like to ask whether budget changes made through the Google Ads API can be viewed in the Google Ads account management interface.

Specifically, when we update an account budget via the API (using mutateAccountBudgetProposal), is there a place in the Google Ads UI where we can see the corresponding adjustment records or history?
This is important for our finance team to trace and reconcile budget changes.

If such records are available, could you please advise where in the interface they can be found?
If not, is there an alternative recommended method for retrieving an audit trail of API-based budget changes?

Thank you very much for your assistance.
Best regards

Hi, 

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team. 

 

Based on the information provided, I understand that your inquiry is about the visibility of Google Ads API budget changes within the Google Ads account management interface. Specifically, you are asking where in the Google Ads UI, you can view the record or history of an account budget adjustment made via the API using the mutateAccountBudgetProposal method. Kindly note that you can view in the 'Change History' tab if there are any changes made to the account budget using the Google Ads API. You can navigate to your Google Ads account > Campaigns Tab > Change history > Select 'Budget' > Filter the page with 'Tool' column as 'Google Ads API' > You will be able to notice the account budget changes made using the Google Ads API. 

 

Additionally, note that our team can only help you with technical queries or concerns related to the Google Ads API. If you have still any concerns on how to view the account budget changes in the Google Ads UI, I would request you to share the customer ID of your Google Ads account (CID), so that we can route you to the correct support team for further assistance as the Google Ads UI related concerns are out of scope for the Google Ads API support team. 

 

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.
