Hello, When I said "ad creation", I was referring to "Dynamic Ads" as described here: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/3124536
This cannot be done via the API, and is a one-time step that needs to be done on the web interface before you begin. Yes, feeds are very much like custom databases of information that are stored in AdWords. You can think of a Feed as a table, a FeedAttribute as a column, a FeedItem as a row, and a FeedItemAttributeValue as a cell within a row. Essentially, get your dynamic remarketing ads into a very basic but functional state using the web interface (one-time setup), and then you can use the API to add/remove feed items from the feed you're using to power them to change what ads are able to show.
