Re: Plausibility of automated monthly account backups through API?

2019-03-20 Thread Dorian Kind 
Hi David,

we were facing the same challenge. As backing up accounts over the API 
doesn't seem feasible, we currently use a dedicated host which runs an 
AutoHotkey script every day to download and export a couple hundred 
accounts in the Adwords Editor. The script then uploads the .aea files to a 
cloud storage provider. While this solution isn't completely satisfactory, 
it generally runs reliably and only requires manual intervention if there's 
an update to the Adwords Editor.

Best regards,
Dorian

Hi David,

Unfortunately, there is currently no back up feature available in the
AdWords API. You will have to make a *.get()* method request for each
AdWords entity that you created (using their respective services)
previously and store the information locally.

Thanks and regards,
Peter

Currently, I back up high-risk accounts using adwords editor and save as

Does anyone know of a solution for doing this via API?

My dream would be monthly account backups dropped into Google Drive or
Amazon S3 for all of the hundreds of accounts.


Thanks in advance for any thoughts, suggestions or resources to help me on

Plausibility of automated monthly account backups through API?

2019-03-18 Thread david . holder 


Hi,


I'm looking to find a way to automatically backup our adwords accounts 
(200+) on a monthly basis.

The main reason is as insurance, so that we can roll-back to a successful 
state if a junior tanks performance (quickly or slowly).


Currently, I back up high-risk accounts using adwords editor and save as 
.aea & .zip (for images) on my computer.


Does anyone know of a solution for doing this via API?

My dream would be monthly account backups dropped into Google Drive or 
Amazon S3 for all of the hundreds of accounts.


Thanks in advance for any thoughts, suggestions or resources to help me on 
my mission.
