Last update: 2025-08-21

This guide leads you through these processes:

  • Update your selected Structured Data Files version to v9 using the Display & Video 360 UI or API.
  • Migrate your integration from deprecated Structured Data Files versions (v7, v7.1, v8, or v8.1) to v9. It points you to pages detailing the changes between your current version and v9 that may impact your integration. In some cases, you will have to use v9 to upload SDFs starting on September 8, 2025.

See the migration pages specific to each version for an exhaustive list of differences between your version and v9.

Update your Structured Data Files version

To use v9, you must update your resources and SDF generation actions to use v9 when downloading and uploading Structured Data Files.

Update Structured Data Files version

To use a new Structured Data Files version, update the assigned version in your parent Partner and Advertiser resources and use the new version when creating individual download tasks in the Display & Video 360 API.

Update parent resource settings

You set the default Structured Data Files version at the partner and advertiser resource level. This version is used as the default when downloading Structured Data Files through the interface or API.

Set in the interface

At the partner level:

  1. Navigate to the intended partner.
  2. Go to the Basic Details page under the Partner Settings menu in the left-hand navigation.
  3. Update the SDF version configuration in the Structured Data Files section to v9.

At the advertiser level:

  1. Navigate to the intended advertiser.
  2. Go to the Basic Details page under the Advertiser Settings menu in the left-hand navigation.
  3. Update the SDF version configuration in the Structured Data Files section to v9. If the default version is set at the Partner level, this setting may not be editable.

Set in the API

At the partner level: You cannot set the default SDF version at the Partner level in the API.

At the advertiser level: Make an advertisers.patch request to update the dataAccessConfig.sdfConfig.sdfConfig.version to SDF_VERSION_9 and, if needed, dataAccessConfig.sdfConfig.overridePartnerSdfConfig to True.

Update sdfdownloadtasks.create requests in the API

When making a sdfdownloadtasks.create request using the Display & Video 360 API, set the version field of the request body to SDF_VERSION_9.
