We find it very strange and frustrating that the new API does not provide a standard way of downloading the data in CSV format. We're told to write our own code to do this as mentioned here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/L94G_cJax2g
The Adwords API documentation clearly encouraged users to try and get data via reports as opposed to the Service API. It's now a massive blow to users who followed your previous advice and built their apps around the usage of reports. Judging by the many complaints on this forum about the various limitations and bugs in the new Ads API, and by the fact that a huge part of downloading data via reports is no longer supported, having to migrate to the new API in less than one year is a very significant challenge to us and, as we can see here, to many users of the API. 1) Can we please ask you to consider supporting data download via reports as this alone is a massive showstopper in the migration process? 2) Can we also please ask you to consider extending the period when the Adwords API will stop working? One year is not enough to migrate large apps especially when the new Ads API seems to have many serious issues currently with performance and fundamental data structures as frequently raised on this forum recently. We've always found the Adwords API planning carefully took developers and businesses needs into consideration more than any other similar API. We're hoping you'll continue to listen to the many requests of other users on this forum regarding the serious challenges we're currently facing with the new API.
