Today we’re announcing the promotion of the Structured Data Files (SDF) QA format to general availability.

The SDF QA Format was initially released in open beta on May 30, 2024. The QA format allows you to download SDFs for Line Item and YouTube Ad Group resources that use human-readable values, such as display names, in place of numeric IDs to make it easier to review resource settings in bulk. These QA format files are read-only and can’t be uploaded to modify or create Display & Video 360 resources.

The two new file types using this format are Line Item - QA and YouTube Ad Group - QA and are available in SDF v6 and later. These files can be downloaded in the Display & Video 360 interface or by using Display & Video 360 API v3, by either:

• Using the FILE_TYPE_AD_GROUP_QA or FILE_TYPE_LINE_ITEM_QA FileType values in a ParentEntityFilter
• Providing relevant IDs to new lineItemQaIds and adGroupQaIds fields in an IdFilter

  To help you decide whether the SDF QA format is right for you and your integration, we’ve added information and recommendations to the existing Bulk Tools guide.

  If you run into issues, please contact us using our new Display & Video 360 API Technical support contact form. - Trevor Mulchay, Display & Video 360 API Team
