The Google Ads AdWords API adheres to a deprecation schedule of approximately every 10 months. For backwards compatibility, the adapter maintains APIs that have been deprecated but not sunset; if your application requires a deprecated API, you can set it in the Schema property.

To connect through the Windows system proxy, set only the connection properties needed to authenticate and to connect. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false and in addition set the following.

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

To connect to other proxies, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort. To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL. To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, set FirewallType to SOCKS5. Additionally, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.

To show adapter activity from query execution to HTTP calls, use Logfile and Verbosity. The examples of common connection errors below show how to use these properties to get more context. Contact the support team for help tracing the source of an error or circumventing a performance issue.

Authentication errors: Typically, recording a Logfile at Verbosity 4 is necessary to get full details on an authentication error.

Queries time out: A server that takes too long to respond will exceed the adapter's client-side timeout. Often, setting the Timeout property to a higher value will avoid a connection error. Another option is to disable the timeout by setting the property to 0. Setting Verbosity to 2 will show where the time is being spent.
