Starting September 8, 2025, every new line item will need to declare whether or not they will serve Eurpoean Union (EU) political ads. Display & Video 360 API and SDF uploads that don't provide declarations will fail. See our deprecations page for more details on how to update your integration to make this declaration.

The request URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax, and requires specifying the algorithm's unique ID as a path parameter. The `updateMask` query parameter is mandatory for controlling which fields to update. The request body contains the `CustomBiddingAlgorithm` instance, and upon success, the response returns the updated `CustomBiddingAlgorithm`. Updates to algorithms assigned to line items will be deprecated starting April 1, 2025.
