Google Ads API Adds One-Click gRPC/REST Toggle & More

On August 14, 2025, Google announced a significant upgrade to the Google Ads API documentation aimed at improving usability and reducing navigation time.

Key changes include:

1. Clearer campaign-type guidance with direct implementation resources.

A webpage section titled "Featured campaign types" lists Performance Max, Search, Demand Gen, and Shopping from Google Ads API, each with an icon and brief description. Below, "Key resources" provides links for Guides, Getting Started, Reference, and Reporting.

2. Unified Reporting and Reference docs for easier data access.

3. One-click toggle for switching between gRPC/REST protocols for faster protocol switching.

Reorganized guides clustered by related features for smoother navigation. Google states that these improvements are based on developer feedback and encourages further input via the “Send Feedback” button on documentation pages.
