A library to make working with the Bing Ads APIs and bulk services easy
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building a Bing Ads integration in Python. The SDK is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is production-stable. However, be aware of high install friction from tarball-only distribution and verify that the package's Python version support (up to 3.9 in classifiers) meets your environment requirements.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires OAuth credentials (account ID and customer ID) from a Bing Ads account; suds-community, requests, and enum34 must be installed as dependencies.
- High install friction due to the tarball-only distribution (bingads-13.0.29.tar.gz).
- Maintenance is active with a recent release 11 days old and last commit on 2026-08-01, suggesting the project is under active development.

What it is and what it does
The Bing Ads Python SDK (Version 13.0) is a client library for building applications that interact with Microsoft's Bing Ads platform. It wraps the Bing Ads API web services with proxy classes and handles OAuth authentication transparently, eliminating the need to manage low-level protocol details. The SDK also provides BulkFileReader and BulkFileWriter utilities for reading and writing bulk operation files, and exposes a high-level BulkServiceManager interface that simplifies interaction with the underlying Bulk API.
The package is maintained actively and carries no known security vulnerabilities. It is distributed as a tarball and depends on suds-community for SOAP communication, requests for HTTP operations, and enum34 for enumeration support. The project has been in development since 2015 and is classified as Production/Stable, making it suitable for production Bing Ads integrations.
Use it for
- Build campaign management applications that create, update, or pause Bing Ads campaigns programmatically.
- Automate bulk operations like uploading keyword lists or ad copy changes via the BulkServiceManager.
- Read and parse bulk operation result files to monitor campaign performance or audit changes.
- Integrate Bing Ads account management into larger marketing automation workflows.
- Develop reporting tools that pull campaign metrics and account data via the Bing Ads API.
