Hi Vasyl,

Thank you for reaching us out.

With regard to your concern, image extension as an asset is not supported in the Google Ads API as it is not included in the supported asset-based extension types mentioned in this document. For now, please follow our blog as we will post relevant updates there when it becomes supported.

However, you may create an image asset as ImageAsset, and you may follow this guide.

Thanks,

Hi Nirmita,

Thank you for answering.

You said image extension as an asset is not supported in the Google Ads API and in the same time you've sent the link to a guide for uploading image assets via some script https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/samples/upload-image-asset. Does this guide not refer to Google Ads API?

Hi Vasyl,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Kindly note that this code example is used to create an Image extension using Feed-based extensions managed by Extension setting services. However, Extension setting services are deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming release. You should migrate to Assets as soon as possible. Please note that the image extension as an asset based extension is not yet supported in the Google Ads API as it is not included in the supported asset-based extension types mentioned in this document. Our note says that Asset-based extensions will soon replace Feed-based extensions managed by Extension setting services.

 

 

 

As a side note, Google Ads API v12 supports adding, updating, and removing CampaignAsset and AdGroupAsset with the field_type as AD_IMAGE. However, this is for allowlisted customers only. 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi,

Thank you a lot for your answer.

One last question - how to become a allowlisted customer to be able to add, update and remove CampaignAsset and AdGroupAsset with the field_type as AD_IMAGE via Google Ads API v12?
