Updates

Make these updates to your integration to use v9.

Declare whether line items will serve EU political ads

You must declare whether a new line item will serve EU political ads using a new Contains EU Political Ads column in the Line Item file type.

This field is required when creating new line items or updating any of the following columns for an existing line item:

  • Geography Targeting - Include
  • Geography Targeting - Exclude
  • Geography Regional Location List Targeting - Include
  • Geography Regional Location List Targeting - Exclude
  • Proximity Targeting
  • Proximity Location List Targeting

If you have declared that the parent advertiser does not serve EU political ads, new line items will be assigned the No value if the column is not set.

Update name of Line Item "TrueView Content Filter" column

The TrueView Content Filter column in the Line Item file type has been renamed Inventory Mode. No other changes need to be made to the column content.

Demand Gen resources are now supported and are included in Line Item, Ad Group, and Ad files.

To support Demand Gen resources:

  • New columns have been added to Ad Group and Ad files.

An Ad Type column has been added to Ad files. This surfaces the type of Ad represented by each row.

This new column is required. It will be populated for existing resources when downloading Ad files.
