Google DV360 API: October 2026 Deprecations
Google's Display & Video 360 (DV360) API team announced three unversioned changes taking effect in October 2026 that may impact integrations and structured data file uploads. Effective October 1, 2026, advertisers will no longer be able to exclude specific digital content labels or exclude the majority of sensitive categories via DV360 targeting options and related Structured Data File columns. Effective October 12, 2026, creators must provide a business name and logo when creating or updating YouTube responsive ads if parent-advertiser defaults are not set. The announcement points developers to the DV360 'Announced Deprecations' documentation and a Google Advertising and Measurement Discord community for questions.
