The next several pages describe the most common REST methods found throughout
the Google Ads API: the [`Search`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/common/search) (and `SearchStream`) and [`Mutate`](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/common/mutate)
methods.

The [Other methods](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/rest/common/others) page explains how to find information about other
service methods.
