Thanks, Anash- I'll check out the new report definitions for sure. Just to clarify...the Ad Performance Report will return a row for ALL ads, regardless of whether or not they are enabled and regardless of whether or not there have been any clicks generated by the ad, correct? I need to make sure I'm getting all rows.
BTW, for anyone who follows this thread, there's a nice v13.AccountService class with a method called getClientAccounts. If you connect using an account with access to administrate your MCC, you can use this method to pull a list of the email addresses for each Account within the MCC. The reason I mention this is that our organization does a fairly large volume of campaigns. And I want to avoid forcing our marketing department to maintain a list of accounts "on our side". That just causes our reports to get out of sync. That is, in fact, exactly why I'm working on this project. Our data is badly out of sync. SAMPLE CODE (C#): AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser(); // account service com.google.api.adwords.v13.AccountService acctSvc = (com.google.api.adwords.v13.AccountService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v13.AccountService); string[] accountEmails = acctSvc.getClientAccounts(); On Aug 10, 5:19 am, AdWords API Advisor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Taylor, > > AdWords API doesn't provide any API calls or reports where you can > download the entireMCCin a single call.
