Send audience members

  • This quickstart guide familiarizes users with the Data Manager API by outlining steps to prepare a destination, format and prepare audience data, build an ingestion request, send the request, and understand responses.

  • Audience data, such as email addresses, must be formatted by removing whitespace, converting to lowercase, hashing with SHA-256, and encoding using hex or Base64.

  • Requests require a combination of destination information and formatted audience member data in the request body.

  • Successful requests return a requestId for tracking, while failures provide error details.

  • You can send audience members to multiple destinations in a single request by using destination references within the request body.

Work through this guide to get familiar with the process of sending audience members with the Data Manager API.

In this guide, you complete the following steps:

  1. Prepare a Destination to receive audience data.
  2. Prepare audience data to send.
  3. Build an IngestionService request for audience members.
  4. Send the request with the Google APIs Explorer.
  5. Understand success and failure responses.

Prepare a destination

Before you can send data, you need to prepare the destination to send the data to. Here's a sample Destination for you to use. Check out Configure destinations for examples of destinations for different scenarios.

Select the tab that corresponds to your use case.

  • Select Advertiser if you're using credentials for a Google Account that is a user in the advertiser accounts you want to manage.
  • Select Data Partner if you're using credentials for a Google Account that is a user in a data partner account, and you want to manage advertiser accounts that have a partner link to the data partner account.

Advertiser

operatingAccount

The account that receives the audience data. Set this to the advertiser account that owns the audience.

loginAccount

The account where the Google Account for the credentials is a user.

If your OAuth credentials are for a user with access to a Google Ads manager account, that has the operatingAccount as one of its subaccounts, set the loginAccount to the account type and ID of the manager account.

If the OAuth credentials are for a user with direct access to the operatingAccount, you don't need to set loginAccount.

productDestinationId

The ID of the audience in the operatingAccount that receives the member data.

{
  "operatingAccount": {
    "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
    "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_ID"
  },
  "loginAccount": {
    "accountType": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
    "accountId": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_ID"
  },
  "productDestinationId": "AUDIENCE_ID"
}

Data Partner

operatingAccount

The account type and ID of the account that receives the audience data. Set this to the advertiser account that owns the audience.

loginAccount

The account type and ID of your data partner account.

linkedAccount

The account with an established partner link through which the credential's user has access to the operatingAccount.

If a parent of the operatingAccount is linked to your data partner account, set the linkedAccount to the parent of the operatingAccount. If the operatingAccount is directly linked to your data partner account, don't set linkedAccount.

productDestinationId

The ID of the audience in the operatingAccount that receives the member data.

{
  "operatingAccount": {
    "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
    "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_ID"
  },
  "loginAccount": {
    "accountType": "DATA_PARTNER",
    "accountId": "DATA_PARTNER_ACCOUNT_ID"
  },
  "linkedAccount": {
    "accountType": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
    "accountId": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_ID"
  },
  "productDestinationId": "AUDIENCE_ID"
}

Prepare audience data

Consider the following sample data in a comma-separated file. Each line in the file corresponds to one member of the audience, and each member has up to three email addresses.

#,email_1,email_2,email_3
1,dana@example.com,DanaM@example.com,
2,ALEXJ@example.com, AlexJ@cymbalgroup.com,alexj@altostrat.com
3,quinn@CYMBALGROUP.com,baklavainthebalkans@gmail.com  ,
4,rosario@example.org,cloudySanFrancisco@GMAIL.com,

Email addresses have the following formatting and hashing requirements:

  1. Remove all leading, trailing, and intermediate whitespace.
  2. Convert the email address to lowercase.
  3. Hash the email address using the SHA-256 algorithm.
  4. Encode the hash bytes using hexadecimal (hex) or Base64 encoding. The examples in this guide use hex encoding.

Here's the formatted data:

#,email_1,email_2,email_3
1,dana@example.com,danam@example.com,
2,alexj@example.com,alexj@cymbalgroup.com,alexj@altostrat.com
3,quinn@cymbalgroup.com,baklavainthebalkans@gmail.com,
4,rosario@example.org,cloudysanfrancisco@gmail.com,

And here's the data after being hashed and encoded:

#,email_1,email_2,email_3

Here's a sample AudienceMember for the formatted, hashed, and encoded email addresses of dana@example.com and danam@example.com from the first row of the input data:

{
  "compositeData": {
    "userData": {
      "userIdentifiers": [
        {
          "emailAddress": "07e2f1394b0ea80e2adca010ea8318df697001a005ba7452720edda4b0ce57b3"
        },
        {
          "emailAddress": "1df6b43bc68dd38eca94e6a65b4f466ae537b796c81a526918b40ac4a7b906c7"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Composite data

There are two ways you can provide user identifiers for an AudienceMember upload.

  1. compositeData (Recommended)

    This is the recommended approach for all integrations.

    Set the compositeData field on the AudienceMember to a CompositeData object, which has a nested userData field where user identifiers can be provided. The functionality of the userData field within compositeData is the same as the functionality of the userData field on the AudienceMember.

    CompositeData can contain one of the following:

  2. userData

    You can also provide user identifiers by setting the userData field directly on the AudienceMember to a UserData object.

    While userData is still supported, we recommend using compositeData to ensure your integration is prepared for future improvements.

IP ingestion for Google Ads Customer Match

Data Manager API supports including IP addresses for Google Ads Customer Match uploads in CompositeData. For each IP address, add an IpData resource to the ipData repeated field. Sending IpData isn't supported for Display & Video 360 Customer Match uploads.

IpData contains a required ipAddress field and two optional timestamp fields observeStartTime and observeEndTime, which represent when the IP address was observed for the user. We recommend including these timestamp fields to help improve Customer Match match rates.

Here are the guidelines for including IP addresses:

  • Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
  • Don't hash or encode these fields.
  • See the formatting guide for details on how to format the ipAddress and timestamp fields.
  • Each object in the ipData list must contain a non-empty value for the ipAddress field. We recommend also sending observeStartTime and observeEndTime.
  • You can send user identifiers and IP address data in your Google Ads Customer Match uploads by populating both userData and ipData in CompositeData. Make sure userData has at least one UserIdentifier.
  • The destination audience must have CONTACT_ID in its uploadKeyTypes. Requests sending compositeData to audiences missing this key type will be rejected.

Here's the sample AudienceMember from the first row of the input data showing how to include userData and ipData nested within the compositeData field.

{
  "compositeData": {
    "userData": {
      "userIdentifiers": [
        {
          "emailAddress": "07e2f1394b0ea80e2adca010ea8318df697001a005ba7452720edda4b0ce57b3"
        },
        {
          "emailAddress": "1df6b43bc68dd38eca94e6a65b4f466ae537b796c81a526918b40ac4a7b906c7"
        }
      ]
    },
    "ipData": [
      {
        "ipAddress": "192.0.2.1",
        "observeStartTime": "2025-06-10T23:42:33Z",
        "observeEndTime": "2025-06-10T23:43:59Z"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Build the request body

To build the request body, combine the destinations and audienceMembers, set the encoding field, and add any other request fields you want to include such as validateOnly and consent.

If sending audience members for Customer Match, set termsOfService to indicate whether the user has accepted the Customer Match terms of service.

The examples in this guide don't use encryption, but you can follow the instructions in Encrypt user data to add encryption to your process.

Send the request

Here are the steps to try a request from your browser:

  1. Select the REST tab and click Open in API Explorer to open the API Explorer in a new tab or window.
  2. In the request body in the API Explorer, replace each string beginning with REPLACE_WITH, such as REPLACE_WITH_OPERATING_ACCOUNT_TYPE, with the relevant value.
  3. Click Execute at the bottom of the API Explorer page and complete the authorization prompts to send the request.
  4. Set validateOnly to true to validate the request without applying the changes. When you're ready to apply the changes, set validateOnly to false.

If you installed a client library, select the tab for your chosen programming language to see a complete code sample of how to construct and send a request.

Success responses

A successful request returns a response with an object containing a requestId.

{
  "requestId": "126365e1-16d0-4c81-9de9-f362711e250a"
}

Record the requestId returned so you can retrieve diagnostics as each destination in the request is processed.

Failure responses

A failed request results in an error response status code such as 400 Bad Request, and a response with error details.

For example, an emailAddress containing a plain text string instead of a hex encoded value produces the following response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "There was a problem with the request.",
    "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
        "reason": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
        "domain": "datamanager.googleapis.com"
      },
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",
        "fieldViolations": [
          {
            "field": "audience_members.audience_members[0].composite_data.user_data.user_identifiers",
            "description": "Email is not hex encoded.",
            "reason": "INVALID_HEX_ENCODING"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

An emailAddress that isn't hashed and is only hex encoded produces the following response:

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "There was a problem with the request.",
    "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
        "reason": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
        "domain": "datamanager.googleapis.com"
      },
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",
        "fieldViolations": [
          {
            "field": "audience_members.audience_members[0].composite_data.user_data",
            "reason": "INVALID_SHA256_FORMAT"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Send events for multiple destinations

If your data contains audience members for different destinations, you can send them in the same request by using destination references. See Limits and quotas for the maximum number of destinations per request.

For example, if you have an audience member for user list ID 11112222 and another audience member for user list ID 77778888, send both audience members in a single request by setting the reference of each Destination. The reference is user-defined—the only requirement is that each Destination has a unique reference. Here's the modified destinations list for the request:

Advertiser

  "destinations": [
    {
      "operatingAccount": {
        "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
        "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_ID"
      },
      "loginAccount": {
        "accountType": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
        "accountId": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_ID"
      },
      "productDestinationId": "11112222",
      "reference": "audience_1"
    },
    {
      "operatingAccount": {
        "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_2_TYPE",
        "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_2_ID"
      },
      "loginAccount": {
        "accountType": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_2_TYPE",
        "accountId": "LOGIN_ACCOUNT_2_ID"
      },
      "productDestinationId": "77778888",
      "reference": "audience_2"
    }
  ]

Data Partner

  "destinations": [
    {
      "operatingAccount": {
        "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
        "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_ID"
      },
      "loginAccount": {
        "accountType": "DATA_PARTNER",
        "accountId": "DATA_PARTNER_ACCOUNT_ID"
      },
      "linkedAccount": {
        "accountType": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
        "accountId": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_ID"
      },
      "productDestinationId": "11112222",
      "reference": "audience_1"
    },
    {
      "operatingAccount": {
        "accountType": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_2_TYPE",
        "accountId": "OPERATING_ACCOUNT_2_ID"
      },
      "loginAccount": {
        "accountType": "DATA_PARTNER",
        "accountId": "DATA_PARTNER_ACCOUNT_2_ID"
      },
      "linkedAccount": {
        "accountType": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_2_TYPE",
        "accountId": "LINKED_ACCOUNT_2_ID"
      },
      "productDestinationId": "77778888",
      "reference": "audience_2"
    }
  ]

Set the destination_references of each AudienceMember to send it to one or more specific destinations. For example, here's an AudienceMember that's only for the first Destination, so its destination_references list only contains the reference of the first Destination:

{
  "compositeData": {
    "userData": {
      "userIdentifiers": [
        {
          "emailAddress": "07e2f1394b0ea80e2adca010ea8318df697001a005ba7452720edda4b0ce57b3"
        },
        {
          "emailAddress": "1df6b43bc68dd38eca94e6a65b4f466ae537b796c81a526918b40ac4a7b906c7"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "destinationReferences": [
    "audience_1"
  ]
}

The destination_references field is a list, so you can specify multiple destinations for an audience member. If you don't set the destination_references of an AudienceMember, the Data Manager API sends the audience member to all of the destinations in the request.
