Version v200906 beta will be shut down on February 2, 2010

The v200906 API, which we released as a limited beta in June 2009, will be shut down on February 2, 2010. The recently-launched v200909 API is a full replacement for v200906 and it adds substantial additional functionality. For most developers, the migration from v200906 to v200909 will be just a matter of updating the version in the namespace and re-compiling/building their application.

If you are using one of our client libraries, the changes required for migration will be as easy as

  • Java
    • Change import com.google.api.adwords.v200906.cm.CampaignServiceInterface; to import com.google.api.adwords.v200909.cm.CampaignServiceInterface;
    • Change CampaignServiceInterface campaignService = user.getService(AdWordsService.V200906.CAMPAIGN_SERVICE); to CampaignServiceInterface campaignService = user.getService(AdWordsService.V200909.CAMPAIGN_SERVICE);
  • DotNet
    • Change using com.google.api.adwords.v200906; to using com.google.api.adwords.v200909;
    • Change namespace com.google.api.adwords.samples.v200906 to namespace com.google.api.adwords.samples.v200909
    • Change CampaignService service = (CampaignService) user.GetService(AdWordsService.v200906.CampaignService); to CampaignService service = (CampaignService) user.GetService(AdWordsService.v200909.CampaignService);
  • Python
    • Explicitly set version, campaign_service = client.GetCampaignService(version='v200909')
  • Ruby
    • Change campaign_srv = adwords.get_service('Campaign', 200906) to campaign_srv = adwords.get_service('Campaign', 200909)
  • Perl
    • Change version in types, Google::AdWords::v200906::Types::SomeType to Google::AdWords::v200909::Types::SomeType
  • PHP
    • Defaults to v200909
