Send a Sample Request

After you've set everything up, make sure you can successfully send a sample request to the Search Ads 360 API. The following code sample demonstrates how to send an asynchronous request for the list of campaigns under your advertiser. If the request is successful, you'll get a response from the Search Ads 360 API saying that the report is created but not ready (this is because asynchronous requests require additional requests to actually download a report).

You'll need to specify your own OAuth 2.0 access token and your own agency ID in the request. To find your agency ID:

  1. Visit the Search Ads 360 UI.
  2. Your agency and advertiser IDs are displayed in the URL, just after the ay= and av= prefix. For example:
    https://searchads.google.com/ds/cm/cm/cm/cm#campaigns.ay=123456789012345678;av=123456789012345678;
