Google Ads API version	v9.0
Build
Release

• Fully matches the latest Google Ads API Reference
• Implemented via gRPC with Protocol Buffers
• CLI utils and API for generating and refreshing Google Ads credentials

To install, simply run:

$ go get -d github.com/kritzware/google-ads-go

Make sure your PATH includes the $GOPATH/bin directory if you want to use the CLI utils:

export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

package main

import (
  "fmt"

  "github.com/kritzware/google-ads-go/ads"
  "github.com/kritzware/google-ads-go/services"
)

func main() {
  // Create a client from credentials file
  client, err := ads.NewClientFromStorage("google-ads.json")
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
  
  // Load the "GoogleAds" service
  googleAdsService := services.NewGoogleAdsServiceClient(client.Conn())
  
  // Create a search request
  request := services.SearchGoogleAdsRequest{
    CustomerId: "2984242032",
    Query:      "SELECT campaign.id, campaign.name FROM campaign ORDER BY campaign.id",
  }
  
  // Get the results
  response, err := googleAdsService.Search(client.Context(), &request)
  for _, row := range response.Results {
    campaign := row.Campaign
    fmt.Printf("id: %d, name: %s\n", campaign.Id.Value, campaign.Name.Value)
  }
}

When using the NewGoogleAdsClientFromStorage method, you must provide a path to a valid google-ads.json file (containing your Google Ads API credentials).

{
    "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    "refresh_token": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN",
    "developer_token": "YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN",
    "login_customer_id": "YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID"
}

This library also provides some CLI utilities for generating/refreshing Google OAuth2 credentials. The newly generated token will be printed to stdout, as well as the expiry timestamp.

$ gads refresh -client-id CLIENT_ID -client-secret CLIENT_SECRET -refresh-token REFRESH_TOKEN

$ gads refresh -file credentials.json

Additionally, you can use the -help flag for more information: gads refresh --help

All build scripts use Makefile

Build and run

$ make run

Run with gRPC debugging output

$ make run-debug

To see the changes between Google Ads API versions, take a look at the official Google Ads API Release Notes.

Building .pb.go files from the original googleads protos should only be done when updating to a new Google Ads version.

Requirements:

• protoc version 3.15 or higher for working with optional attr in proto files

Build .pb.go protos:

$ make protos
