The unique identifier for an entity in the Google Ads API is called a resource
name, and is represented as a string with a predictable format. If you know
the constituent components of a resource name, you can use this utility to
generate the final resource name.
ResourceNames class
The ResourceNames class is a way to construct the resource name of an entity
if you know all of the relevant IDs related to that entity. For example, a
campaign resource name is in the format:
customers/{customer_id}/campaigns/{campaign_id}
So if you know the customer ID and the campaign ID, you can use the
ResourceNames class construct the full resource name as follows:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Missing the information I need","missingTheInformationINeed","thumb-down"],["Too complicated / too many steps","tooComplicatedTooManySteps","thumb-down"],["Out of date","outOfDate","thumb-down"],["Samples / code issue","samplesCodeIssue","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-08-20 UTC."],[[["\u003cp\u003eThe Google Ads API uses unique identifiers called resource names to represent entities.\u003c/p\u003e\n"],["\u003cp\u003eResource names follow a predictable format and can be generated using their components.\u003c/p\u003e\n"],["\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ccode\u003eResourceNames\u003c/code\u003e class allows you to construct a resource name using relevant IDs, such as customer ID and campaign ID.\u003c/p\u003e\n"],["\u003cp\u003eUsing entity names like \u003ccode\u003ecampaign\u003c/code\u003e with appropriate IDs in the \u003ccode\u003eResourceNames\u003c/code\u003e class generates the full resource name string.\u003c/p\u003e\n"]]],[],null,["# Resource Names\n\nThe unique identifier for an entity in the Google Ads API is called a resource\nname, and is represented as a string with a predictable format.
