Okay... Twice in the last 9 months we've had major Sunsets of API versions, and in both cases we've had major hassles in the upgrade due to unexpected changes to the API to remove functionality we depended upon. That kind of thrashing about has resulted in a lot of instability in our code

Last night, a bit after 9 PM Pacific time, our TargetingIdeaService calls began failing consistently with an UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR. This did not affect any of our other Adwords API calls - just the TargetingIdeaService. Now, we've had periodic failed calls on this in the past, but

A quick followup -- I did a quick and dirty test using the PHP 3.0.0 library, and the same thing is happening. So this is a server side problem, not a client side one. Anyone else? Any ideas? Several of our daily tasks rely on getting these results and we're effectively dead in the

Oops - should add that *definitely* you need a minimum of adgroupid and keywordid -- I definitely get back entries which are different in this way. Not sure if campaignid is necessary, but I'm using it to be safe. On the other hand, while I have no examples of keyword id reuse across

We couldn't find any official docs which listed these changes, but here's the ones we found: - The ctr and convRate1PerClick (formerly convRate) field used to be a float value (0.0122) and is now a percentage (1.22%) - The precision of the ctr, convRate1PerClick, and avgPosition fields

We're running into the very same problem for the Keywords Performance Report - a small number of keywords are missing in the report, which causes us problems when we try to cross reference the keyword ID from the Ad Performance Report. We've tried a variety of predicates to see if it makes

Ouch. We're still using 201008, and I'm not sure when this behavioral change happened, exactly, but it threw us for a loop as soon as we noticed it. My first thought was to IdeaTextMatchesSearchParameter to explicitly include the seed keyword, but that doesn't seem to work. While it's a nice

Hi Kevin! We've run into this exact problem as well. We need the stats on both the seed keyword AND the keyword ideas generated by it, and now it appears we'll either have to make two API calls for each keyword (which is highly inefficient), or we'll have to totally restructure our code to make
