API Configuration

You can manage your Google Ads connector programmatically using the Weld REST API. This page covers the key operations specific to Google Ads.

Authentication

All API requests require an API key passed via the x-api-key header. You can create API keys in Settings → API Keys inside the Weld app.

curl https://connect.weld.app/connections \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Integration ID

When creating connections or syncs for Google Ads, use the following integration ID:

Parameter	Value
`integration_id`	`google-ads`

Create a Connection

To connect Google Ads via the API, create a connection bridge session:

curl https://connect.weld.app/connection_bridges \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
  "integration_id": "google-ads",
  "label": "google-ads-production",
  "redirect_uri": "https://yourapp.com/callback"
}'

The user will be redirected to Google's OAuth flow to authorize access. Once complete, the connection is available for creating syncs.

Create an ELT Sync

Once a connection exists, create a sync to start loading Google Ads data:

curl https://connect.weld.app/elt_syncs \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
  "connection_id": "YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  "destination_schema_name": "google_ads",
  "sync_interval": "0 */6 * * *",
  "start_date": "2024-01-01"
}'

Google Ads supports start_date — you can specify how far back to sync historical data.

Available Streams

After creating the sync, list the available streams to choose which Google Ads reports to sync:

curl https://connect.weld.app/elt_syncs/YOUR_SYNC_ID/available_source_streams \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Then add the streams you want:

curl https://connect.weld.app/elt_syncs/YOUR_SYNC_ID/source_streams \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --data '{
  "source_streams": [
    { "name": "campaigns" },
    { "name": "ad_groups" },
    { "name": "ads" },
    { "name": "campaign_performance" }
  ]
}'
