What it is

Accesses and controls your Google Ads campaigns.

Real use case example

"A founder of an e-commerce site wants to optimize their Google Ads spend. They write a script using the Google Ads API client library to automatically pause underperforming ad groups. Each day, the script reviews ad performance, pauses ads that don't meet their targets, and adjusts budgets to maximize ROI. This process saves them several hours each week."
