Hi, Could someone please explain why it's not possible to get the name of an account from the API? When trying to pull a list of accounts from an agency MCC, it's almost impossible to differentiate between them unless you log into the web portal and note down the numeric customer ID.
The "descriptive name" is that of the company, not the account, and it's not always set. So at best you get the same name for several accounts, and at worst you get nothing at all. This affects both the V13 AccountService and the v201101 ServicedAccountService. Even the email address shown in the API is the one that's associated with the account's contact address, and not the primary login email address of the account, so that's no use to differentiate them either. In many cases we see multiple accounts with the same contact email address, as it's set up to go to a billing department. I can only assume these are available somewhere, since the AdWords Editor application lets you select from a list containing an Account Name, Company Name, Primary Login and Customer ID when given just a username and password. Could you please expose that functionality to the rest of us? -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
