Article Summary

Beginning June 30th, 2024, Google will discontinue support for the older version of the Search Ads 360 Reporting API and transition to the updated Search Ads 360 Reporting API.

Introduction

This document provides a step-by-step guide on connecting Search Ads 360 with Rivery. Through this integration, users can simplify data workflows, and consolidate data for analytical purposes.

Prerequisites

There are 2 authentication methods available:

  1. OAuth.
  2. Custom Application (Located within the Advanced Options).

Prior to proceeding, ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:

  • For OAuth authentication, all you need is a Gmail account linked to your Search Ads 360 account.

  • For Custom Application authentication, which entails a connection with a Google application, a paid subscription to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is required. If you don't have one, sign up.
    Also, ensure the functionality of your Consent Screen Application. If not created, follow instructions for configuring OAuth consent screen and selecting scopes under Google Workspace.

  • Enable the new API within the Google Cloud Console.

Establish a Connection

  1. Assign a name to your connection.
  2. Choose Authentication Type:
    • OAuth:
      a. Click on the "Connect with Google" button.
      Make sure your browser doesn't block pop-ups.
      b. A window will appear, requesting your authorization for Rivery to access your X account. To proceed, click on "Allow".

    • Custom Application:
      a. Enter Client ID.
      b. Input Client Secret.
      c. Click on the "Connect with Google" button.
      Make sure your browser doesn't block pop-ups.
      d. A window will appear, requesting your authorization for Rivery to access your X account. To proceed, click on "Allow".

Please Note:

  • If nothing happens after you've clicked the "Connect with Google" button, it is likely because your browser has blocked the pop up:

  • On the right side of the URL in your browser, you will find a "pop-up blocked" button:
