Sandbox Maintenance – December 22

We will perform our regular refresh of the API Sandbox database on December 22 at approximately 2pm US Pacific Time. Therefore, the Sandbox will be unavailable for a few hours.

As a result of this database refresh, all Sandbox user and account data will be erased. Therefore, you will need to first make a request without including a clientEmail header (call getClientAccounts for example) to create your five Sandbox client accounts.

API Version 8 Sandbox ‘Sneak Peek’ Release

We are happy to announce that a ‘sneak peak’ of version 8 (V8) is now available in the AdWords API Sandbox, and documentation is available in the Developer’s Guide. In order to view the V8 details, simply visit the Developer’s Guide and click on the “V8” link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

We plan to launch V8 in early Q1. Until then, please feel free to test its new features in the Sandbox.

Version Support Policy Extended to 4 Months

Based on recent discussions with our developers, we have increased our version support policy from 2 to 4 months. Therefore, when a new version of the AdWords API is released, we will continue to support the previous version for four (4) full months before shutting it off.

For example, we recently released Version 7 on November 9, 2006. Therefore, we will continue to support Version 6 through March 12, 2007.

We hope you find this change helpful and thank you again for your support for the AdWords API.
