Deadline card

Yes — API and/or Ads Scripts mutates UI / account-level declaration only Reporting-only / no campaign mutates

2. Could this account still have undeclared campaigns?

Unknown — need to query Yes — we know some lack declaration No — all campaigns declared

3. Primary goal this week?

Inventory undeclared campaigns (GAQL) Clear the gate with declare-only mutates See which methods fail after April 1 if undeclared remain

Your path

GAQL — missing declarations

Declare-only safe notes

Affected methods (sample)

Ship checklist

Not legal advice. Re-check live Google Ads API EU PAR docs. This page does not execute API calls or submit declarations for you.

Why this checklist exists

Official docs explain fields, GAQL, and a long method table. Indie failure mode is discovering the account-level mutate lock on April 1 while a single undeclared campaign remains. This page packs countdown + query + declare-only path + method highlights into one local checklist.
