Google Ads API Web Navi

The Google Ads API Web Navi browser extension automatically identifies the Google Ads UI page you are currently viewing and displays links to the corresponding reference pages on the Google Ads API developer website. This saves developers time by eliminating the need to manually search for API documentation while working within the Google Ads interface. The extension is particularly useful when you need to quickly look up API service details, version-specific changes, or code examples that match the UI feature you are using.

Features

• Context-aware page matching: When you browse any page in the new Google Ads experience (ads.google.com), the extension detects the specific UI section and presents the relevant Google Ads API developer documentation page. For example, if you are configuring a campaign, it may show the corresponding API service for campaign management.
• Support for multiple API versions: The extension has been updated across numerous releases to support Google Ads API versions from v0_4 up to the latest v18. It maintains backward compatibility so that older UI pages still link to appropriate API references, though the latest version is always prioritized when multiple versions apply.
• Default API tab: The extension opens the Google Ads API tab by default (as of version 2.8), ensuring that the API documentation is immediately visible without extra clicks. This streamlines the workflow for developers who frequently switch between the UI and API docs.
• Automatic version detection: The reference docs always point to the latest supported API version for the page you are on (as of version 2.6). This means you do not need to manually select a version; the extension determines the appropriate one based on the current UI context.
• Regular updates with new API releases: The changelog shows consistent updates as new Google Ads API versions are released, such as v12, v13, v14, v15, v16, v16_1, v17, and v18. This ensures the extension remains useful as the API evolves.
• Migration to Manifest V3: Version 3.0 migrated the extension to Manifest V3, removing support for the deprecated AdWords API. This aligns with Chrome's extension platform changes and focuses solely on the Google Ads API.
• Seamless integration with developer tools: The extension works alongside other Google Ads developer resources like the Query Builder and workshop registration (noted in earlier versions) but its core function is linking UI pages to API docs.

By installing this extension, you agree to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The extension does not collect or transmit any personal data; it only reads the current page URL to determine which API documentation to show. Developers who work daily with Google Ads API will find this tool reduces context switching and improves productivity.
