Structured Data Files v4 now available in the DoubleClick Bid Manager API


Today we're announcing the general availability of Structured Data Files (SDF) v4 in the DoubleClick Bid Manager API. Highlights of this release include support for:
  • Bid Multipliers
  • TrueView bumper ads
  • Enhanced YouTube tracking
  • Exchange Targeting settings inheritance

Details of these features and all other changes can be found in the release notes.

All SDF users are encouraged to begin requesting v4 files to take advantage of these new features. To do so, simply pass 4 as the value of version when calling Sdf.download. For users with workflows that are dependent on older SDF formats, details of the file format changes between versions can be found in the release notes.

Upcoming changes to DBM report access

Back in March, we launched the new Report Builder in DoubleClick Bid Manager (DBM). Over the coming months, we'll be migrating all reports from the legacy reporting platform (v1) to Report Builder (v2). This migration will complete on September 25, 2017, at which point access to v1 reporting will be removed. We'll also be disabling access to the Google Cloud Storage buckets used by v1 reporting on that date.

Once the migration to v2 reporting is complete, the only way to access reports programmatically will be via the DBM API. Users who currently access reports through Google Cloud Storage must migrate to using the API before September 25, 2017 to avoid an interruption in service. To learn more and quickly get started with the API, visit our getting started guide.

If you have questions regarding these changes, please reach out to your DoubleClick account team.
