What is the Google API. The Google API allows developers to interact directly with the ads platform, making large or robust accounts and campaigns easier to manage. With the ads API, you can:

• Automate account management
• Create custom reports

Why we care. Developers who use the Google Ads API should make note of the new updates and plan management of their accounts accordingly.
