The .NET client library is hosted on GitHub and is distributed as a NuGet package. It offers several features to help you use the API, including easier management of credentials and creation of Google Ads API service clients.
The library supports the following .NET Frameworks:
- .NET Framework 4.7.2+ (
net472) - .NET Standard 2.1 (
netstandard2.1) - .NET 6.0 (
net6.0) - .NET 8.0 (
net8.0)
.NET Standard 2.1 is compatible with several other .NET versions and implementations, so the library might work fine on many other platforms. However, we haven't officially tested the compatibility and thus don't officially support these platforms. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard?tabs=net-standard-2-1 to learn more about .NET standard compatibility.
The Google Ads API .NET library uses Grpc.Net.Client as the default, with a
fallback to Grpc.Core on unsupported platforms. You can force the use of
Grpc.Core by setting UseGrpcCore to true. See
Use the legacy Grpc library.
