Overview of Programs sub-API

Programs let you control the promotion of your products and enhance the features of your account across various Google surfaces.

A typical example of this is the free product listings program, which enables products from your online store to be shown across Google with no charge.

Programs sub-API lets you retrieve and update your participation in all available shopping programs.

To retrieve, enable, and disable programs, you can use the following methods:

List all programs

To retrieve all programs for the account, use the accounts.programs.list method.

Here's a sample request:

  --header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --compressed
