Background: The Google Ads API provides access to geo target constants and
their basic details, but not their polygons. The Google Maps API recommends
using data-driven boundaries (see documentation
<https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/dds-boundaries/dds-use-maps-places-apis#typescript>),
but not all of the geo targets (link to geo targets
<https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/data/geotargets>) are
included in the available Google boundaries (link to supported boundaries
<https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/dds-boundaries/coverage>
).
Example: The Google Ads API Suggestion Service provides a target - 9073451
(San Francisco Bay Area) - which can be identified using the Google Maps
API with a PlaceID of ChIJtdeIpqODhYARqR9GV4QbiYw. However, this does not
fall under the supported boundary types (ex. `LOCALITY`) of the Maps API,
so its exact polygon cannot be drawn / determined.
Problem/Question: It is not possible to render or determine the polygon of
a Google Ads geo target using the standard Google Maps API because of its
unsupported boundary type. However, in the Google Ads Console, the Google
Ads API directly passes the correct polygon via an endpoint not listed in
the documentation ("GeoTargetService/ListGeoTargetsV2"). Is there any way
to access this polygon data via the Google Ads API or the Google Maps API
so that the geo target location can be rendered on a Map?
