I had exactly the same problem waiting for MCC Cross client reporting
so I created a report for every individual client account and combined
them later. Oh and you should NOT use client email but account number
instead.
The code looks like this using the v201101 .NET API Client Library in
C#
// 1) Set the required authentication headers!
Dictionary<string, string> headers = new
Dictionary<string, string>();
headers.Add("companyName", "XXXXX");
headers.Add("authToken", "XXXXX");
headers.Add("useragent", "XXXXX");
headers.Add("developerToken", "XXXXX");
headers.Add("clientCustomerId", "123456789"); // This
MUST be the account number of the individual account
AdWordsUser adwordsUser = new AdWordsUser(headers);
// 2) Create the report definition!
var reportDefinitionService =
(ReportDefinitionService)adwordsUser.GetService(AdWordsService.v201101.ReportDefinitionService);
// 3) Set the report options!
var reportDefinition = new ReportDefinition();
reportDefinition.reportName = String.Format("{0}
CampaignPerformance", "REPORT");
reportDefinition.dateRangeType =
ReportDefinitionDateRangeType.CUSTOM_DATE;
reportDefinition.reportType =
ReportDefinitionReportType.CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT;
reportDefinition.downloadFormat = DownloadFormat.XML;
reportDefinition.selector = new Selector {
fields = new[]
{ "ExternalCustomerId", "CampaignId", "CampaignName", "Cost",
"Clicks", "Impressions", "Status" },
dateRange =
new DateRange { min = "20110701", max = "20110731" }
};;
var operation = new ReportDefinitionOperation();
operation.operand = reportDefinition;
operation.@operator = Operator.ADD;
// 4) Run the report and download it!
ReportDefinition[] result =
reportDefinitionService.mutate(new[] { operation });
if (result != null && result.Length > 0) { new
ReportUtilities(adwordsUser).DownloadReportDefinition(result[0].id,
@"C:\REPORTS\CAMPAIGN.xml"); }
// 5) Happy days coz you now have your report so open it
and parse the XML!
If you wrap this code up into a loop that repeats for every account
number then you should be fine. If you really want to speed things up
then do it across multiple threads, although you will need to watch
the filename and make it unique, or you'll realy get screwed. LOL!
