Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Today, we're announcing the v17_1 release of the [Google Ads API](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api). To use some of the v17_1 features, you will need to upgrade your [client libraries](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/client-libs.md.txt) and client code. The updated client libraries and code examples will be published next week. This version has no breaking changes.
Here are the highlights: - [`ShareablePreviewService.GenerateShareablePreviews()`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/latest/ShareablePreviewService#generateshareablepreviews) generates the URLs for shareable ad previews for enabled and paused [asset groups](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/performance-max/asset-groups.md.txt). The URLs are available for a limited amount of time and the expiration date is returned in the response. - [`AdGroupAdService.RemoveAutomaticallyCreatedAssets()`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/latest/AdGroupAdService#removeautomaticallycreatedassets) allows you to remove specified [automatically created assets](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/assets/overview.md.txt#automatically_created_assets) linked to [Responsive Search Ads](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/responsive-search-ads/overview.md.txt). - Support for returning [`ASSET_GROUP`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/latest/ChangeStatusResourceTypeEnum.ChangeStatusResourceType#asset_group) as a new [Change Status](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/change-status.md.txt) resource type. - New report for retrieving [offline conversion diagnostics](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/upload-summaries.md.txt), [`offline_conversion_upload_conversion_action_summary`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/offline_conversion_upload_conversion_action_summary). This supports returning information about the overall health of your conversion upload and adjustment processes *at the conversion action level*. - Added metrics to the [offline diagnostics reports](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/upload-summaries.md.txt) to convey the number of uploaded conversions that are still being processed. See [Monitor offline data diagnostics](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/upload-summaries.md.txt) for updated information. - Added [`segments.sk_ad_network_version`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v17/segments#segments.sk_ad_network_version) which represents the version of the [SKAdNetwork](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skadnetwork/) API, such as 3.0, 4.0. - Support for segmenting [`per_store_view`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/per_store_view) based on [`segments.date`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/per_store_view#segments.date). - Support for retrieving information related to [standard bidding strategies](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/bidding/assign-strategies.md.txt#standard_bidding_strategies) for video campaigns (Fixed CPM (cost per thousand impression) and Target CPV (cost per view)) using reports. - Added [`segments.ad_format_type`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/segments#segments.ad_format_type) to segment some compatible reports (such as [`ad_group`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/ad_group) and [`campaign`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/latest/campaign) based on the video ad format type.
