Traps when running Google Ads through treg — the API requirements and cleanup semantics that cost round-trips or money. Use whenever asked to analyse ad performance, audit spend, create or change campaigns, adjust budgets or bids, or do media buying.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Google Ads via treg — the traps

Verified live on 2026-07-22 against a live account, via `treg call google-ads`.
Each trap is tagged with how many independent agents hit it when working **without** this file, so
you know which are real and which are here for insurance.

Account id: `treg connections ls` → the `google-ads` row; `treg connections resources <id>` to list.
Never guess an account id — you may be spending someone else's money.

## 1. Pin the API version — there is no discovery  ⚠️ 2/2 agents hit this

Paths are versioned and a wrong guess returns a **Google HTML 404**, not JSON. Nothing in the API
or in `treg tool ls` reports the current version — one agent burned **five** calls walking v14→v18
before recovering the answer from the `treg calls` audit log.

**Use `v25`** (released 2026-07-22, live-verified through the proxy 2026-08-17; sunsets ~Aug 2027).
Do not guess downward.

Two different failures, two different fixes:

- **HTML 404** — the version never existed (you guessed too high, or typo'd the path).
- **JSON 400 `UNSUPPORTED_VERSION`** — the version existed and has been **sunset**. Google ships a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add superdesigndev/treg/google-ads@sha256:5223f60bf8e1e09b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260817.6541167, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
