Libraries and Samples

The Google API client libraries, which are available in a number of popular programming languages, make it easy to use the Ad Exchange Buyer API and offer benefits including better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization.

In the tables below, the first column shows each library's stage of development; note that some are still in early stages. The second column links to the main page for each library.

Note: For libraries that have samples for the Ad Exchange Buyer API, the third column in the table below links to them directly. If a library's samples page does not yet include a sample for this API, you can still use that library—simply adapt one of the existing samples as needed.

The libraries include:

Client library	Documentation	All client library samples	Examples
Google API Client Library for .NET	Google API Client Library for .NET	.NET Samples	ListAccounts.cs InsertCreative.cs InsertPretargetingConfig.cs
Google API Client Library for Java	Google API Client Library for Java	Java samples	GetAllAccounts.java SubmitCreative.java InsertPretargetingConfig.java
Google API Client Library for JavaScript	Google API Client Library for JavaScript
Google API Client Library for Objective-C for REST	Google API Client Library for Objective-C for REST
Google API Client Library for PHP (beta)	Google API Client Library for PHP	PHP samples	GetAllAccounts.php SubmitCreative.php InsertPretargetingConfig.php
Google API Client Library for Python	Google API Client Library for Python	Python samples	list_accounts.py insert_creative.py insert_pretargeting_config.py
Google API Client Library for Ruby (alpha)	Google API Client Library for Ruby	Ruby samples	list_accounts.rb insert_creative.rb insert_pretargeting_config.rb

Things to keep in mind when working with the sample code:

• The Ad Exchange Buyer API is built on HTTP and JSON, and any standard web stack can read data from it.
• All operations through this API require authorization. The Google APIs client libraries described above make this easy to achieve.
