Removing support for PHP 7 in the Google Ad Manager SOAP API Client Library for PHP

Wednesday, April 26, 2023

In August 2023, the Google Ad Manager SOAP API Client Library for PHP will start requiring PHP version 8.0 or higher. The version of the client library that adds support for Google Ad Manager API v202305 will be the last version that supports PHP 7. We’ll still fix security issues for this client library version until Google Ad Manager API v202305 is sunset, but no new features will be added. All PHP 7 versions reached their end of life in 2022. The PHP development team no longer provides security fixes for these versions, so we highly recommend migrating to newer versions as soon as possible. Here are useful resources to help with the PHP migration:

How to migrate from PHP 7.4.x to PHP 8.0.x

Ad Manager API v202205 sunset and v202202 extension

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

On Wednesday, May 31, 2023, in accordance with the deprecation schedule, v202205 of the Ad Manager API will sunset. At that time, any requests made to this version will return errors. Additionally, support for Ad Manager API v202202 is being extended until the same date, May 31, 2023. We've heard from a number of users that they need additional time to complete the Ad Exchange Historical report migration. Note that v202202 is the last version with support for Ad Exchange Historical reports. When you’re ready to upgrade, check the full release notes to identify any breaking changes. Here are a few examples of changes that may impact your applications:

v202211

Replaced the string field thirdPartyImpressionTrackingUrl with the list field thirdPartyImpressionTrackingUrls for multiple creative types including ImageCreative. Currently only a single URL may be provided in the list.
Removed support for OPTIMIZATION reporting columns.

As always, feel free to contact us on the developer forum with any questions.

Announcing v202205 of the Google Ad Manager API

Tuesday, May 17, 2022

We're pleased to announce that v202205 of the Google Ad Manager API is available starting today, May 17th. This release adds support for CPM sponsorships for ProposalLineItems. It also updates the ReportService for the upcoming "Ad Exchange Historical" to "Historical" report type conversion. Ad Exchange Historical dimensions and metrics are now available for Historical reports. Because of this change, several Ad Exchange dimensions and metrics have been renamed or replaced in the API. To migrate, please refer to the migration guide and the reference documentation for v202202 and earlier. The reference documentation has been updated to show which values are deprecated and their replacements. Here’s an example:

Enumeration

Description

AD_EXCHANGE_IMPRESSIONS

Ad Impressions on mapped Ad Exchange properties. When multiple text ads fill a single display slot it is only counted once, when the top text ad is recognized. In these cases, the Ad Impression is attributed to the top text ad.
Deprecated as part of the "Ad Exchange Historical" to "Historical" report type conversion. Use AD_EXCHANGE_LINE_ITEM_LEVEL_IMPRESSIONS instead.

For the full list of changes, check the release notes. Feel free to reach out to us on the Ad Manager API forum with any API-related questions.

Announcing v202202 of the Google Ad Manager API

Monday, February 28, 2022

We're pleased to announce that v202202 of the Google Ad Manager API is available starting today, February 28th. This release brings a long-awaited feature – Ad Manager hosted video creatives.

Networks with this feature disabled will continue to receive CreativeSetError.CANNOT_CREATE_OR_UPDATE_VIDEO_CREATIVES. MCM companies now include information about the status of onboarding tasks and Sellers.json identifiers. There are also some maintenance updates removing deprecated features, like AdExclusionRuleService and Proposal pause information. For the full list of changes, check the release notes.
