In November, we [announced the upcoming sunset of Campaign and Insertion Order targeting in the Display \& Video 360 API and Structured Data Files](https://developers.google.com/ads/blog/posts/2025/11/upcoming-changes-to-targeting-in.md.txt). This sunset will take place on **February 23, 2026** to align with the removal of this targeting in the Display \& Video 360 UI.


Starting February 23, 2026, you will see the following behavior when using the Display \& Video 360 API and Structured Data Files:

- API requests to methods that retrieve or manage `AssignedTargetingOption` resources directly under `Campaign` or `InsertionOrder` resources will return a `404` error.
- API requests to `advertisers.lineItems.generateDefault` will return a `404` error.
- All targeting columns in [Campaign](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/structured-data-file/v9-2/Campaign.md.txt) and [Insertion Order](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/structured-data-file/v9-2/InsertionOrder.md.txt) SDFs will be empty upon file download and must be empty upon file upload. [Campaign](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/structured-data-file/v9-2/Campaign.md.txt) or [Insertion Order](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/structured-data-file/v9-2/InsertionOrder.md.txt) file entries with populated targeting columns will fail on upload. **See our documentation for a [full list of impacted columns](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/deprecations.md.txt#features.io_campaign_targeting).**

Full details on these changes can be found on our [Display \& Video 360 API deprecation announcements](https://developers.google.com/display-video/api/deprecations.md.txt#features.io_campaign_targeting).
