Announcing the 2018 Ad Manager API Workshop

We’re excited to announce our Ad Manager API Workshop on October 31, 2018. It may be Halloween, but there are no tricks, some treats, and a lot of information on how you can get more out of the Ad Manager API.

What is it?

A half-day event featuring technical talks by Google engineers and office hours with Google's Developer Relations team. Agenda with description for each of the talks is available on the registration site.

Who is the target audience?

The event is targeted toward developers who use or are interested in using the Ad Manager API. The talks will be technical, thus technical background is recommended for all attendees. This event is an opportunity for you to learn more about the API's capabilities and its newest features. This is also an opportunity for you to share feedback and influence direction by talking directly with Googlers who work on the API.

Sunset of the Ad Manager API v201711

On Friday, November 30, 2018, in accordance with the deprecation schedule, v201711 of the Ad Manager API will be sunset. At that time, any requests made to this version will return errors.

If you’re still using this version, now is the time to upgrade to the latest release and take advantage of new functionality with Preferred Deals, forecasting, and reporting.

To upgrade, check the release notes to identify any breaking changes, grab the latest version of your client library, and update your code.

Significant changes include:

This is not an exhaustive list, so be sure to check the release notes for a list of all changes. As always, don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.

To be notified of future deprecations and sunsets, join the Ad Manager API Sunset Announcements group and adjust your notification settings. If you are an administrator on your network, you can now also receive notifications when an application is making requests to your network using a deprecated version, as explained in this post.

Introducing the Improved Ad Manager API Sunset Notifications

We’ve heard your feedback regarding the current API sunset notifications, and today we’re pleased to share some upcoming improvements.

Greater User Control
Network administrators will be able to choose whether or not to receive these notifications via the Notification Settings panel in the Ad Manager UI. Check the box next to Deprecated API in use to opt-in to the notifications. Administrators will be automatically opted-in at launch.








More Meaningful Information

Our communications already include a list of applications that are using the deprecated API version. The improved email notification also shows how many requests each application made to the deprecated API. We hope this will help you prioritize which applications need to be upgraded first and expedite the API upgrade process.


UI Notifications

Alongside the email notification, you will also receive a notification card in the Ad Manager UI. Both will be sent on the second Tuesday of each month.







These updates will be rolling out to network administrators in the coming weeks and we will announce in the release notes when they’re available. As always, upcoming deprecation and sunset dates are available on the deprecation schedule page. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to reach out to us on the Ad Manager API forums.
