Google Ads

**Judgment:** This skill is a solid, production-leaning integration for reading Google Ads data through Maton’s managed gateway. It abstracts away OAuth and developer-token management while exposing the power of GAQL, making it well-suited for analytics, reporting, and dashboard use. **Strengths:** - Managed OAuth and Google Ads token handling, greatly simplifying auth. - Direct proxy to Google Ads API endpoints with clear GAQL support. - Good documentation including setup, error handling, and multi-language code examples. - Connection management endpoints and UI for handling multiple Google Ads accounts. **Key Risks / Limitations:** - Hard dependency on Maton’s infrastructure (gateway.maton.ai / ctrl.maton.ai); outages or rate limits there will impact all usage. - Requires obtaining and securely storing a MATON_API_KEY, plus managing OAuth connections in a separate control plane. - Documentation and examples focus on read/query operations; mutation/write operations are not clearly covered and may require careful manual endpoint construction. **Recommended Scenarios:** - When a user explicitly wants to pull Google Ads metrics or structure (campaigns, ad groups, keywords) and is comfortable using or obtaining a Maton API key. - For building analytics workflows, performance dashboards, or periodic reports where read-only access is sufficient. - When you want GAQL-based querying without implementing full Google Ads OAuth and developer-token management yourself. **Less Ideal Scenarios:** - Workloads requiring very high request throughput beyond the documented 10 req/sec per account gateway limit. - Complex write-heavy automation (e.g., large-scale bid or campaign management) where low-level control over the native Google Ads API might be preferable.
