On November 17th, 2015, we'll be updating the Ad Exchange Seller REST API to make it consistent with the user interface. Specifically, we'll remove the ability to download saved reports or retrieve the dimensions we retired in April.

Requests made after this date for these dimensions will result in that dimension being ignored and requests for saved reports will result in an error.

As a reminder, the dimensions we retired in April are:

• AD_FORMAT_CODE
• AD_UNIT_ID
• AD_UNIT_CODE
• DSP_ID
• EXPANSION_TYPE_CODE
• PLATFORM_TYPE_CODE

For a full list of available dimensions, please see the AdX Seller REST API documentation.

Follow our Google+ page for other announcements and updates.

The ability to generate saved reports using the API will be retired on April 6th, 2015, along with six dimensions due to low usage. After the sunset, any API calls to Reports.Saved or requests for these dimensions will result an error.

After the introduction of the Query Tool to the UI last year, the ability to create and edit saved reports in the UI was removed--leading to the sunsetting of Reports.Saved in the API.

The dimensions that will be removed are

• AD_FORMAT_CODE
• AD_UNIT_EXTERNAL_ID*
• AD_UNIT_CODE*
• DSP_BUYER_NETWORK_ENCRYPTED_ID
• EXPANSION_TYPE_CODE
• PLATFORM_TYPE_CODE

[*] these dimensions haven't been relevant for 6 months due to the move to Enhanced Inventory Controls and only are retained in the UI for historic purposes.

To find out if you will be affected, search your code for any of the strings above and remove them; they will be associated with a call to Reports.Generate.

For a full list of available dimensions please see the AdX Seller REST API documentation.

Today we launch the v2.0 release of the DoubleClick Ad Exchange Seller REST API. This release adds support for associating a single user to more than one account.

If your user ID is associated with only one account, you can continue to use v1.1 of the API as you have previously, although we recommend you always use v2.0 of the API. If your user ID is associated with more than one account, you must use the v2.0 API and supply the accountId of the appropriate customer account with each request.

For example, resource requests in v1.1 like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/adexchangeseller/v1.1/{resourceType}/{resourceId}

Will become this in v2.0:
https://www.googleapis.com/adexchangeseller/v2.0/accounts/{accountId}/{resourceType}/{resourceId}

Follow our Google+ page for other announcements and updates.

Version 1.1 of the Ad Exchange Seller REST API is now available, and with it comes three new features:

• the ability to retrieve alerts;
• the ability to retrieve preferred deals and private auctions;
• the ability to retrieve metrics and dimensions metadata for reporting.

This version is fully backwards-compatible with v1, so the changes required to upgrade are minimal, but we've prepared a migration guide to help you through the process.

Give the new version a try, and be sure to take a look at our Google+ Page for Ads Developers!

Today we’re happy to announce the launch of the new DoubleClick Ad Exchange Seller REST API. With it, you can list your inventory and programmatically run reports, opening up possibilities such as:

• checking out how much money you made last month, on your phone
• adding stylish charts to your earnings reports
• making your own reporting interface, suited to your specific needs
• using real ad unit or channel performance data in your internal systems, to help with business decisions.

This API, like all of our new APIs, is built on the same RESTful, standards-based technology stack you’re used to. This means you have access to all sorts of useful tools for trying out the API, such as the APIs explorer (which is also built into the documentation for each method), and our generic, cross-API client libraries.

Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions!
