Ad Preview via API call

[Jacob Peebles]

We have customers that continually ask us for an example of their ad. How do we use the preview tool to generate an example we can show them?

If there is another automated/programmatic way to get this type of view that's fine too, but we need to show them their ad, and not say 'hey go google some keywords, and good luck if you see it :).

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Support team.
 

With regards to your concern, if you are looking for an Ad Preview and Diagnostic tool in the Google Ads API, then I am afraid that it is currently not supported here. However, our team has already raised a feature request for this feature, subject for review. For now, please follow our blog as we will post there relevant updates when it become supported.
 

Regards,

Hello,

Was there ever any progress on this feature request? This is available via Meta's API which returns an iframe. Something similar for Google would be very useful.
