Google has recently announced Google Ads API Developer Assistant v1.0, a new extension for the Gemini CLI that lets developers and ad experts interact with the Google Ads API using natural language.
This new tool can turn simple prompts into fully generated code and live API calls, significantly reducing development time and technical hurdles. No matter if you’re an experienced developer or new to Google Ads API, this tool is here to help you.
A Way Towards Smarter Work with Google Ads API:
The following are key features of the Google Ads API Developer Assistant v1.0.
Users can ask simple questions like:
- How do I filter by date in GAQL?”
- What are the different types of campaigns?
Another feature is that the tool can convert a simple query into code.
You can request tasks such as
- “Display the campaigns with the most clicks in the last 20 days.”
- “Show all the active campaigns of customers ‘234-567-89′
The assistant will automatically generate the GAQL query, a complete python script for google-ads-python client library and saves it to saved_code/directory.
Run Queries, Export Data, and Automate Tasks
With a single command, developers can run the generated scripts directly from the terminal. The tool executes read-only API calls and shows the results in formatted tables.
The Ads API Developer Assistant v1.0 supports CSV export, and the file is stored in the saved_csv/folder. This makes analytics, reporting, and troubleshooting fast and easy.
Why Does it Matter?
The assistant works as a productivity tool for developers, alongside being an educational tool. Novice users can benefit from the natural language, whereas seasoned developers can reduce mundane tasks. It makes code generation, data retrieval, and file organization easier.
The assistant runs within the Gemini CLI and utilizes the project context from GEMINI.md and settings within gemini/settings.json configuration files to generate code that goes well with your environment.
