Learn more about our updated Terms of Service

jbarkerky@gmail.com

We're updating our Terms of Service on May 22, 2024, so we wanted to let you know ahead of time.

These changes won't affect the way you use our services, but they should help make it easier for you to understand what to expect from Google — and what we expect from you — as you use our services.

You can see the new terms here. We also summarized the changes at the bottom of this email.

What do I need to do?

  • If you're under the age required to manage your own Google Account:
    • We sent this email to your parent or guardian so that they can help you understand our updates better.
    • Please discuss this email with your parent or guardian to decide if you need to do anything different with your account.
  • If you're a parent or guardian, and you allow your child to use the services:
    • Please review the updates to our terms with your child and help them decide whether they need to make any changes to their account.
    • Please remember that these terms apply to you and you're responsible for your child's activity on the services.
  • If you're the administrator of a Google Workspace corporate or educational account and you've enabled your users to access Google Additional Services:
    • Our new Terms of Service won't affect the Google Workspace agreement between Google and your organization. These new terms will only apply to those users to whom you've given access to Google Additional Services. You can always manage whether your users have access to Google Additional Services, and which ones, in your Admin console.
  • If you're a Google Workspace reseller whose customers have enabled their users to access Google Additional Services:
    • Our new Terms of Service won't affect your Google Workspace agreement with your customers. These new terms will only apply to your customers' users who've been given access to Google Additional Services. Your customers can always manage whether their users have access to Google Additional Services, and which ones, in their Admin console.
  • If you're any other user of the services:
    • Please read this email to understand our updated terms and your options for further action.
    • If you agree to the new terms, no further action is needed.

What's changing?

You can review the new Google Terms of Service here. At a glance, here's what this update covers:

  • Generative AI terms. We're moving our existing Generative AI Additional Terms to our main Terms of Service and adding other AI-related clarifications. For example – we won't claim ownership over original content generated by our AI-powered services.
  • More clarity on abusive activity. We're providing more examples and details about abuse and interference with our services that isn't allowed.
  • More details on limitations of liability. For users outside the US, we're adding clarifications to our limitations of liability and indemnity sections to avoid any misunderstandings in light of local laws or customs.
  • More clarity on disputes. We're clarifying that if you violate our terms, our remedies aren't limited to suspension or termination of your access to the services, but may include other remedies under applicable law. If problems or disputes arise between us about these terms, you'll have the opportunity to describe the issues and address them.
  • Updates to reflect how our services work. We're adding language about how our services work, and updating certain Google service brand names that have changed over time.
  • For users based in the European Economic Area (EEA) only:

If you don't agree to the new terms, you should remove your content and stop using the services. You can also end your relationship with us at any time, without penalty, by closing your Google Account.

Thank you for using Google services!

Digest for adsense-api@googlegroups.com - 2 updates in 1 topic

Adrien Hingert <ahingert@gmail.com>: Aug 20 03:15AM -0700

Hi, I'm trying to write a PHP script which will allow a server to pull
AdSense data when it's run. I managed to get this working via Google Sheets
& App Script, but I'm having trouble even understanding how to authenticate
when doing so via PHP.
 
Could somebody point me to a step-by-step process which will allow me to
authenticate my server-side script and pull a basic dataset from AdSense?
 
Some questions I have:
- What credentials do I need? (API Keys, OAuth 2.0 Client IDs, Service
Accounts...)
- Where do I get these? (here
<https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials>?)
- Any specific configuration I need?
- Can you show me the barebones PHP code which will take these credentials
and authenticate the script?
 
I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this type of problem, but for
the life of me, I can't find a clear explanation of what I'm doing wrong.
Ad Sense API <adsenseapi@forumsupport.google>: Aug 21 09:08AM

Hi Adrien,
 
Thanks for your email. I'd recommend starting with the documentation at https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/getting_started. That includes pages discussion OAuth (https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/direct_requests#OAuth2Authorizing), and links to PHP sample code (https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/libraries).
 
I hope that helps,
Andrew (AdSense API team)

Updating our Google Account inactivity policy

Every day Google works hard to keep you and your private information safe and secure by preventing unauthorized access to your Google Account with our built-in security protections. And keeping you safe means having strong privacy practices across our products that minimize how long we store your personal files and any data associated with them. We want to protect your private information and prevent any unauthorized access to your account even if you're no longer using our services.

Therefore, we are updating the inactivity period for a Google Account to two years across all our products and services. This change starts rolling out today and will apply to any Google Account that's been inactive, meaning it has not been signed into or used within a two-year period. An inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023.

What this means for you:

  • These changes do not impact you unless you have been inactive in your Google Account for two years or have not used your account to sign in to any Google service for over two years.
  • While the changes go into effect today, the earliest we would enforce any account deletion would be December 2023.
  • If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your account.
  • After a Google Account is deleted, the Gmail address for the deleted account cannot be used again when creating a new Google Account.

How to keep your account active?

The simplest way to keep a Google Account active is to sign in to the account at least once every two years. If you have signed in to your Google Account recently in the past two years, your account is considered active and will not be deleted.

Other ways to keep your account active include:

  • Reading or sending an email
  • Using Google Drive
  • Watching a YouTube video
  • Sharing a photo
  • Downloading an app
  • Using Google Search
  • Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service

There are some exceptions to this policy. Examples include: a Google Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play store. Other exceptions to this policy are available here.

Google also offers tools to help manage your Google Account and provide options to back up your data, including the ability to download your data using Google Takeout, and allowing you to plan for what happens to your data if you're inactive for a specific period of time with the Inactive Account Manager.

Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your account active, if you want to, and we'll ensure you have adequate notice before any account is impacted by this change. So before an account is deleted, Google will send email notifications to the Google Account and its recovery email (if one has been provided). You should verify that your recovery email is up to date.

Thank you,
The Google Account team

Digest for adsense-api@googlegroups.com - 5 updates in 2 topics

Steve Schau <fastitteam@gmail.com>: Jul 20 05:44PM -0700

Hello
 
I implemented the feature creating cuustom channel via api following the
API doc, it returns 403 PERMISSION_DENIED.
https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/reference/rest/v2/accounts.adclients.customchannels/create#authorization-scopes
I tried with API explorer, it returns same error.
The get/list APIs work well though.
I've read a post that says only solution is to contact Adsense API team.
But I don't know how to contact.
 
Any help would be appreciated!
 
Thanks
Goran Aleksic <agencijaspecihost@gmail.com>: Jul 21 05:21AM -0700

Help page you linked says:
 
*> This method can only be used by projects enabled for the AdSense for
Platforms product.*
 
https://developers.google.com/adsense/platforms/
 
Is AdSense for Platforms enabled on your project?
 
https://developers.google.com/adsense/platforms/register-interest
Steve Schau <fastitteam@gmail.com>: Jul 21 06:17AM -0700

It's AdSense Management
API(https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/reference/rest), not
AFP api (https://developers.google.com/adsense/platforms/api/)

Hello, Team
 
I'm trying to create new custom channel via adsense management api. It
returns 403 (PERMISSION_DENIED). All read operations work well.
 
I've read a post, where the poster says it has a allowlist, I need to get
something approved/allowed in order to use the channel creation api.
 
Thanks in advance

Digest for adsense-api@googlegroups.com - 4 updates in 1 topic

Mayank Agrawal <mayank.agr@media.net>: Jul 17 10:39AM -0700

We fetch adsense reports using GET
https://adsense.googleapis.com/v2/{account=accounts/*}/reports:generateCsv
<https://notifications.google.com/g/p/ADa0GC94EDc7eWXMdk649XBWeV6EYpFlhLXpgM-ooQa0n0cxfqC3WZSWX8P6Xgq2KInDQhMI6Ss96o-P97vC57oHL2LMN-egSrt9Osx22FvRvEU-pZghRYmCUWK_FHQeecX8o8MZ2o_bKieHQfGMW4ey8b_fHE9-3ASkRhk4I5ec83sXHCqSkNnh78JfuZtnYyG_1qW2-JeWGPk9ukL6Qv5ySI86qAiunN99m9nr2QMirwAzJ598BKoiVCS0>
Since last 1-2 hours this api is giving error : 500 "Internal error
encountered." .
 
It seems that if I remove the metric : "ADS_PER_IMPRESSION" then it works
Earlier it used to work fine with that metric also.
 
Sample call to reproduce:
https://adsense.googleapis.com/v2/accounts/{account-id}/reports:generateCsv?dateRange=YESTERDAY&dimensions=DATE&dimensions=ACCOUNT_NAME&dimensions=AD_CLIENT_ID&metrics=IMPRESSIONS&metrics=CLICKS&metrics=ADS_PER_IMPRESSION
Ad Sense API <adsenseapi@forumsupport.google>: Jul 17 06:10PM

Thank you for the report. Our engineers are looking into the problem.

Ad Sense API <adsenseapi@forumsupport.google>: Jul 17 08:12PM

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our engineers believe this should have been resolved as of approximately 19:20 UTC today.
 
Please let me know if you're continuing to see errors from reports involving the ADS_PER_IMPRESSION metric.

Yes, it has resolved now.
Thank you for the quick response.

Andrei Lozhkin <andrei.lozhkin@anymindgroup.com>: Jun 08 10:10PM -0700

Apparently, channel creation via the API is controlled by an allowlist
which can be changed only from the Google side as of now.
 
So if you face the same issue, the only solution is to contact the AdSense
API team.
