Is this going to be fixed? I have hundreds of accounts to manage, it doesn't make sense to brute force data aggregation...
This used to be a feature in one of the older api versions. It also doesn't make sense that, I can quickly generate a report for all of my accounts using the reporting interface when I log into my account but have to wait over an hour, gathering customer ids, then requesting the same report for each customer id... Bing allows us to get all the account stats and I'm hoping this feature gets added back to the google adwords api. A process that takes less than 30 seconds with Bing takes over an hour with Google due to this limitation. I hope this message finds you well, Best Regards!
