About this API
DV360 is Google's demand-side platform (DSP) — the tool large advertisers use to manage "where to buy ad inventory". SMB advertisers use Google Ads (advertising on Google-owned channels); DV360 is enterprise-grade — buy nearly all third-party ad-exchange inventory (including non-Google media). The API is mainly for ad agencies and large customers — automate batch campaign creation, dynamic creatives (different banners for different audiences), bid strategies based on real-time data. Rarely encountered by typical developers, but core API for the ad-tech industry.
