What version of JavaScript does Google Ads use? It's not ES6

I'm trying to write a script to enumerate the methods of all the AdsApp-related objects so I can plug them into an editor for Intellisense, vs manually going and writing code in an unused function that has all the relevant methods.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance !!

Hi Christopher,

Google Ads Scripts are based on Apps Scripts, so the language constructs supported are the same.

Thank you much!

Now I have to figure out what the "@name" type things in the comments are and I'm pretty much set!!

Google's scripting makes my life so much better, and I can create better results for my clients!!

The link says:

>Apps Script supports two JavaScript runtimes: the modern V8 runtime and an older one powered by Mozilla's Rhino JavaScript interpreter.

Will Google Ads Scripts also offer the option to use the V8 runtime?

Hi Alexander,

Yes, Ads Scripts will also use V8 runtime.
