Thanks for replying Peter though I probably need to elaborate more because our use case is targeting and not performance. Basically I want to do in code what can be done through the adwords.google.com website.
The setup... Using adwords.google.com - I've created a single campaign and 1 location based on a UK postal district. Have added 2 ad groups which have different demographics and a single vertical audience (Motor Vehicles (New)) for each. There are no other items setup other than those automatically setup by adwords. We are not interested in anything keywords related at this stage either. Wedsite Usage... Now I'm particularly interested in the reported Impressions for a selected ad group, so I click on 'Audiences', 'Edit ad group targeting' which takes me to the 'Targeting' page. This page shows the overview of my current setup and a panel to the right showing ' Your Targets Reach', 'Impressions' and how the reach is defined. It is the 'Impressions' & 'reach' figures per location, audience & demographic' I'm after in code :) I'm currently using a developer token too. Hope this makes my case clearer Many thanks Craig On Wednesday, June 6, 2018 at 7:52:40 AM UTC+1, Peter Oliquino (AdWords API Team) wrote: > > Hi Craig, > > You may correct my understanding if I am wrong.
