Hi Joyce, We have an automated service that brings in advertising data for thousands of advertisers on a daily basis and would like to automatically translate location codes to names.
1. It seems that there is no easy way of using the *LocationCriterionService* to get a complete list of the latest Locations on demand. Is this true? 2. Our next option is to download the CSV file that is stored on your website in the Geotargets page ( https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting). But this doesn't seem to be a reliable way of getting this information. You mention that we need to "monitor" the latest available CSV but there's no direct link to that file that we can do repeated downloads (e.g. Today the link is pointing to https://goo.gl/IoeiSx). There has got to be a more robust way that we're not seeing. Please advise.
