Data Manager API Audience Ingestion

Implementation Workflow

Prerequisites

• Authentication & Library Installation: If you need to set up access to the Data Manager API or install the client and utility libraries, refer to the data-manager-api-setup skill.
• Audience Creation (if needed): If the user does not have an existing audience or needs to create a new one, use the Create an Audience reference. This step provides the product_destination_id needed for the ingestion or removal requests.

Step 1: Identify Use Case & Read Documentation

• Determine Destination Account Type: [CRITICAL] If it's not clear where the data is being sent (e.g., Google Ads, Display & Video 360, etc.), STOP and CLARIFY with the user BEFORE generating any code. Do not assume Google Ads by default. This maps to the account_type field of the operating_account in the Destination.
