REST code examples now available for the Google Ads API

Historically, we have always heard from the Google Ads API developer community that code examples are one of the most useful tools to learn about the API and its features. For a long time, however, our API documentation offered code examples for the Google Ads client libraries, but not for REST. We've heard requests from the community to offer more REST code examples, and so we've been working hard to create and integrate a rich set of REST examples directly into our developer documentation.

Now, alongside client library examples, you'll find corresponding REST examples showing you exactly how to structure your curl commands or equivalent code in your preferred language to perform common operations like:

• Create customer accounts
• List accessible accounts
• Manage recommendations
• Generate keyword ideas
• And more!

You can find these examples in relevant sections of the Google Ads API documentation on our developer site. For instance, when you look at the guide for listing accessible accounts, you'll now see a "cURL" tab alongside other language options, providing a clear and concise REST-based example.

At the moment, we've added a small, but substantial, subset of examples. We're adding more soon.

Have ideas for additional REST examples?
You can help us prioritize which examples to add and also help implement them. To request a specific code example, open an issue on the REST code examples GitHub repository. You can also open pull requests to help create new examples, or expand the existing ones. Our team will review your submission, and your contribution could help other Google Ads API users.

We hope this addition of REST examples, driven by your valuable feedback, will significantly improve the development experience for a wide range of Google Ads API users. We're excited to see how these examples help you build even more innovative solutions.
