google-ads-python #258

Closed jaypatrickhoward closed 4 years ago

jaypatrickhoward commented 4 years ago

For new projects, is it preferable to use this library (google-ads-python) or googleads-python-lib?

For completeness, am asking there as well.

For new projects, use the new Google Ads API (google-ads-python). While it is still in beta, it is evolving whereas the legacy API will not have any new features. If you write to the new API, you won't have to rewrite your code when the old API is sunset.

@wihl When will the old Google Ads API planned to be sunsetted?

wihl commented 4 years ago

Google hasn't announced official timing. It will be approximately one year after the new API exits beta and achieves full feature parity.

For anyone like myself who may stumble upon this issue in future, @wihl advice above is incorrect, at least presently. googleads-python-lib is for the Google Ad Manager API, whereas this repo google-ads-python is for the Google Ad API. They are not the same.
