This is a constant problem with the adWords API - if you are trying to get the prior day's data, then you have to decide when you want to try and pull the data, and then hope for the best. There are no API calls in adWords (like there are in Yahoo's API) to find out when the data is ready to pull. What we do for the daily performance numbers is to setup a scheduled report on the AdWords GUI, and have it emailed to us. We have a CF task that monitor's the inbox used for the purpose, and unloads the incoming files for processing. That way Google is in control of determining when to send the data. You also need to take into account the fact that the performance data for a specific date can change anytime during the 30 days that follow, as changes are made for click-fraud corrections. 99% of the time those changes are only made within a day or two after the date. -reed > >Matt > > > > >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335178 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
