Google Ads API now out of beta, v0 will sunset April 30

The production-ready v1 of the Google Ads API is now available and ready for use.  The beta version of the Google Ads API will no longer be accessible as of April 30, 2019.

Why you should care

Beta version API requests will fail after April cut-over date. API users should update their client libraries to use the v1 endpoint ahead of April 30.

The team says it is working on establishing the final aspects of parity between the old AdWords API and the Google Ads API that has replaced it. New features are also getting added to the new API.
