Support Node.js SDK
Allows us to extend current NodeJS-base account monitoring system. By directly supporting this SDK, we don't have to constantly update change their system to keep up with changes.
Provides support for an open source language that is commonly used to monitor multiple ad platforms.
Allowing for consolidation of capability for systems written in a common language will allow agencies to expand their offerings to clients who are not Microsoft ad customers.

Add Performance Filters to Product Dimension Performance Reports (and other Performance Reports)
It would be amazing if the Product Dimension Performance Report via API had filtering options for metrics such as clicks > 0 or conversions > 0. This would greatly reduce the size of some of these reports and make them less taxing while bringing Bing to parity with Google, where this is already an option.
23 votesHi Folks,
Thank you for taking the time to highlight this inconvenience and parity opportunity. I’m following up with engineering. In the meantime, any further details or screenshots are welcome. Hold tight!

Please simplify API
What is it with enterprise companies and the obsession to make the simple complex?
I have a golden rule, if an API can not be understood and implemented in less then 30 minutes its useless and over engineered.
Ultimately, all an API is, IS a FFI (a Foreign Function Interface):
It should just be a list of calls, with their parameters, some super basic authentication with well defined return payload structure. The API documentation should therefor just really document those Method calls and their parameter types.
But of course, we can't have nice things, and instead we need to build…

Add/Remove Excluded Locations via API / Bing Ads Scripts
Similar to the 'excludeLocation' method for Google Ads scripts: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/examples/excluded-locations
It would be very valuable for us to be able to automate the adding and removal of excluded locations via the API / Bing Ads Scripts, because it would make it possible to exclude low converting locations during specific times of the day. That would instantly make our ROAS a lot more competitive compared to Google Ads.
5 votesWe are currently working on Scripts to add this capability. Thank you for your feedback.

Automatic IP exclusion from third-party tools - via Bing API
I'd like to make an additional inquiry to Bing Ads regarding the IP address exclusions issue, too.
We are using a third-party tool to recognize the fraudulent click activity on our Bing Ads. Unfortunately, because we couldn't have this third party tool to be connected directly to Bing Ads (the way we have it connected with Adwords by putting the Customer ID number into the dashboard and the template link), there's no way for us to automate things and start adding the freshly-detected IP addresses that have been recognized by the third-party tool back to Bing Ads - on a…

Add Impression share percent to keywords performance
We pull impressions, clicks, etc. via the keyword performance report because we aggregate by the final URL. However, search impression share is not an available metric in this report. Is this something that can be added?

Bring back the old charts - New charts are too wide
The recent (July 2016) change to the performance charts in the API creates a chart that is too wide to easily view. Please go back to the old charts with the 4 choices of measure on the right. It was nice and compact and easy to view.

Add more details into tutorial page about bingAPI
I think you need to add one more paragraph between second and third on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/guides/walkthrough-desktop-application-python?view=bingads-13
Because for start example which you can find there you need to set up "Redirect URIs" for web application. Without it will give you error-response
"invalidrequest: The provided value for the input parameter 'redirecturi' is not valid. The expected value is a URI which matches a redirect URI registered for this client application."Just add paragraph as third point with some information about it.

Server-Side API for web
We currently using universal collect tag to collect all event tracking and send it to all our supporting ad/social/re-targeting vendors.We can use the server-side API to:
>Measure customer actions in more ways. For example, you can share delayed values, user scores or lead scores and use them for optimization in our other business tools.
>Improve reliability to send events for measurement and optimization when used along with the pixel. The server-side API will help capture events that may be lost due to problems like poor network connectivity or long page load times.

Show status column in page feeds for Dynamic Search Ads.
To make our user experience better we would like to have the "STATUS" column in our page feeds for DSA campaigns.
It is important because:
1. we can see how quickly new items have been approved;
2. we can see which items have been disapproved, so we can delete these items from our feeds.If we can delete disapproved items:
1. we can impove our user experience, as we won't show the property what is not availible for booking
2. we will improve our performance just not bidding on items that are not available in our inventory.2 votes -
