Unfortunately, v13 seems unable to get a list of Campaign IDs... or at least the example Python code associated with that version seems incapable.
Running schedule_campaign_report.py fails because no 'entries' are found after the call to GetCampaignService(). Attempting to populate the list of campaign IDs within the 'selector' didn't resolve it, either. What is the most current, stable version of the API? Should I switch from Python to another language? (Common Lisp would be preferred.) Thanks.
