I have found lots of websites advising about Adwords API and best practices,
*But there's no one page example of how to use Adwords API in the world.*
I don't understand Why it has to be so difficult and non-friendly.
Adwords API documents are terrible.
Adwords API, .NET client is not working properly.
- .sln file is not working, just not working.
- Adwords & Common libraries have always yellow exclamation,
- .proj files are not working, they're not including references,
- there's no document to start from scratch for just get a metric of any
report.
Adwords API is just terrible.
