I'm working on the API certification process now for the FMP-TS program.
I have acknowledged the issues you stated above.
One thing I can tell you is in every disappointment is an opportunity if you know how to manage expectations.
This is a huge opportunity for any developer trying to crack into the industry.
I just got this email from them yesterday.
On a holiday mind you, at night...
From the Program Marketing Manager.
We have noticed a significant uptick in advertiser requests for API-related work. Because of this, many partners not certified for API work have reported seeing a decrease in leads due to being filtered out of the partner matching options when API work is selected. In fact, more than half of all requests in recent months have included API work.
We want to make sure you are set up to potentially receive this new demand, so we are asking select partners to pass the Advertising API Developer Blueprint Certification as quickly as possible, ideally by November 15. If interested, please request a voucher by October 15, 2020 so we can send you next steps. You can find more information below. If you are lacking the capabilities to pass this certification but are interested, please let us know so we can work to support your growth.
This is a great opportunity to ensure you’re set up to support this increased demand for API work. Advertising API Developer grants you access to leads including:
Offline Conversions API
Marketing API

Potential new APIs in the future
