I've read this help page on data freshness for AdWords: https://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2544985
Wanted to confirm my understanding: - My report query is for statistics such as clicks, impressions, conversions, cost. I'm querying for hourly data by using "Date" & "HourOfDay" as segments in my selector. - Does this mean there's a 3 hour delay in data accuracy? In other words, data for the most recent 3 hours returned in the report may not be complete/accurate? - Does this mean data older than 3 hours is accurate? So for example, hourly data that I receive for yesterday should be accurate and there's no need for me to re-query for results for yesterday? I'm trying to come up with the proper algorithm to continuously retrieve report data for our AdWords account. I start by querying historical data until the beginning of our AdWords account, then I switch to cron job mode where I continuously query for new/updated data. What I'm trying to figure out is the proper 'startDate' and 'endDate' to use. To be safe, should I always just query for last 2 days just in case there's some system wide delay? Any insight or tips here would be appreciated.
