Follow the steps in Set up API access to enable the Data Manager API and generate credentials.
Create or retrieve a Customer Match audience. Use the Audience management field mappings to convert your Google Ads API requests to Data Manager API requests.
Use Upload field mappings to convert your Google Ads API upload requests to Data Manager API ingestion requests.
Send audience members to your Google Ads account using the converted requests.
The Data Manager API provides a streamlined process for sending audience members using requests to the unified ingestion service. In contrast, the Google Ads API required a three step process to send audience data (create an
OfflineUserDataJob, add operations to the job, and run the job).Verify the results using diagnostics.
