Hi all!
I'm trying to use the AdWordsAPI for getting keyword STATS using the
TargetingIdeaService.
Last month (April 2016) everything was working fine, but now the
TargetingIdeaPage is returning totalNumEntries = 0, and I can't work out
why.
Has anything changed since then? I've pasted the Python script I'm using
below.
Thanks for your help!
