The Google Ads API developer community has long emphasized the importance of code examples for learning about the API and its features. Historically, the API documentation included code examples for Google Ads client libraries but lacked REST examples. In response to community requests, the team has integrated a variety of REST code examples into the developer documentation.
These examples demonstrate how to structure curl commands or equivalent code in various programming languages for common operations, including:
- Creating customer accounts
- Listing accessible accounts
- Managing recommendations
- Generating keyword ideas
Users can find these examples in relevant sections of the Google Ads API documentation, such as a new "cURL" tab alongside other language options in the guide for listing accessible accounts. Currently, a small subset of examples has been added, with plans for more in the future.
The community is encouraged to suggest additional REST examples by opening issues on the REST code examples GitHub repository or by submitting pull requests. Contributions will be reviewed by the team, potentially benefiting other Google Ads API users. The addition of these REST examples aims to enhance the development experience for a diverse range of users.
