Google Ads API - Does a REST API exist?

Question

Reference: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start

Quote (emphasis mine):

The Google Ads API is the next generation of the AdWords API. It can be accessed via gRPC and JSON REST from a variety of client environments.

This would indicate a REST API exists.

However, I am unable to find any documentation for it, any endpoints - anything really.

Do they just mean they use that under the hood for the client libraries, or have I just not been able to find the right documentation?

Answer 1

Yes they have, let me explain

They have two APIs,

One called Google Adwords API (old) and another one is Google Ads API (new)

1. Google Adwords API

Note: Google AdWords API will sunset on April 27, 2022. So there is nothing to talk about this API because it will no more available

This API has only one interface: gRPC

Still, want to know more? docs link: here

2. Google Ads API

Ok this the stable API they have and it's amazing it's even a lot better than the older one!

This API has two interfaces: gRPC or REST
