AdWords API Re: authentication token clarification request
I would humbly suggest that the google changes authentication tokens (soon) to be dependent on the password for the account for which the authentication token was requested. Before, if somebody accidentally posted his e-mail and password and other dev-tokens etc- he'd say, "whoa", and then go and change the passwords on the accounts he just made writable by the world. But now, if somebody posts his authentication token to this forum, or elsewherez, and the world will have write access until that token expires. Perhaps I'm understanding this authentication token incorrectly. Or perhaps google will allow people to request that their authentication tokens be invalidated? Also, one might think that it would be ok, because actually the entity that used that authentication token would be leaving a trail as they did it. However, this will not be the case with anybody who knows what they're doing. For instance, in the last week somebody posted their name/password to this forum. Hopefully he changed his password. And hopefully he changed his password before somebody requested an authentication token. And/or, hopefully his account is small enough that if somebody did get his authentication token and put bogus ads and keywords they would be obvious. And not buried within a hundred different adgroups. Anyway, blah blah blah, etc etc etc, beating dead horse here, -tim On Dec 14, 10:38 am, AdWords API Advisor wrote: > Hi Tim, > > An authToken for the AdWords API is valid for two weeks, although it > would be fine generating a new token every week or even every day. > There is no need to wait for an authToken to expire before generating > a new one, although requesting them too frequently (such as one per > request) can lead to errors. > > I don't believe password changed invalidate an authToken, and I am not > aware of any way to manually invalidate an authToken. > > In regards to errors, there isn't a comprehensive error code page in > v2009 as there was in v13.

AdWords API v2009 Hack Days
Have you been putting off migrating to v2009? Not sure where to start? Been way too busy? Well it's time to jump start your v2009 development with some in-person help from Google. Join us in Mountain View or New York for a full day of non-stop v2009 hacking. To keep things interesting throughout the day, we'll do some coding demos of the cool things you can do with v2009 that weren't possible in v13, like asynchronous calls, dynamic ad parameters, and more. Non-engineers beware! This is a developer-only event, and there will be no content or activities for attendees who don't plan to write code. Space is limited, and signups are on a first come, first serve basis. We ask that you limit attendees to two people per company. If you are based in Europe please don't register yet, as a similar EMEA event is in the works and will be announced shortly.

AdWords API Campaign Status and ServingStatus
I'm in the process of upgrading some code from v13 to v2009. I'm trying to get a handle on the meaning of a Campaign's "status" and its "serving status". Is there an explanation of these fields anywhere, other than the list of the enumerated values for each? My sense is that "status" refers to actions taken by users to manage the campaign (through the UI or API), and that "serving status" is really only relevant when the status is ACTIVE. But it would be nice to see it documented. I'm trying to write a method to pause all campaigns associated with an account, and return the number of affected campaigns. I want to pass in to the mutate operation only those campaigns that have a chance of running in the first place. To do this, I am checking the status and serving status. Based on the possibilities for each, it seems that a campaign that has reached its end date would be ACTIVE and ENDED respectively, and thus I would not need to pause it. But if a campaign were ACTIVE and any of PENDING, NONE, or SUSPENDED, then it is conceivable that the ads could start running at some point without direct user intervention, and so I would want to pause it. I am also assuming that a campaign with a status of anything other than ACTIVE has no chance of running. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Re: Getting error code 73 when trying to implement v13...
Hi Ven, A few points: 1) If you are building a new application you should definitely be using the v2009 API. The v13 API is set to be sunset in April, so it doesn't make sense to build a new application on this version of the API only to have to migrate it within a few months. 2) The client libraries are a great way to get started with the API. Also, since they are released as Open Source you can build your own version with exactly the features you desire. 3) I'm not sure if it is responsible for the error, but the main problem I see with your request is you are using a campaign name in place of a campaign ID. The campaignID field should be the numerical id of the campaign. Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Tea, On Dec 14, 8:15 am, ComputerPsi wrote: > I'm trying to implement Google adwords API.

AdWords API Re: authentication token clarification request
Hi Tim, An authToken for the AdWords API is valid for two weeks, although it would be fine generating a new token every week or even every day. There is no need to wait for an authToken to expire before generating a new one, although requesting them too frequently (such as one per request) can lead to errors. I don't believe password changed invalidate an authToken, and I am not aware of any way to manually invalidate an authToken. In regards to errors, there isn't a comprehensive error code page in v2009 as there was in v13. Instead, each service has a number of defined error types and reasons. You can find these under the base type ApiError for each service: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/CampaignService.ApiError.html Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team On Dec 13, 10:39 pm, timprepscius wrote: > Greetings, > > The client login api specifies that authentication tokens expire in > "about a week." > What does this mean? > > Does this mean, 6-8 days? 4-10 days?

AdWords API Which Keyword stats are correct?
Hi, I'm using the keyword variations api to get the keyword search volume. I noticed that for some keywords the last month search volume between the adwords api and the google Adwords Keyword Tool GUI is very different (e.g. 100,000 vs. 10,000). Which number is more accurate? Thanks! Dutch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

AdWords API Discrepency in data reported by different reports types
We have been observing that cost reported by "placement performance" report is not matching with cost reported by "URL performance" report for Keyword Matching type "Content". I pulled online reports from adwords.google.com and found the same behavior on google live site. URL performance report is showing lesser cost. What could be the reason? Thanks!

AdWords API Sandbox viewer/editor
Hi all, One of the biggest obstacles when developing against AdWords API is inability to view/edit sandbox content using some GUI. If anybody needs it, we have developed small GUI application for that purpose: http://www.gemboxsoftware.com/Ppc/Overview.htm#ReferenceApplication In order to run it, you need Windows machine with .NET Framework. GemBox.Ppc Reference Application will work with sandbox of any size and will show campaigns, ad groups, ads and criteria. If you want to modify it, there is also source code available. Let me know if you find our Sandbox viewer/editor useful, or if you have any ideas for improvement. Are there any alternative ways to see what is inside sandbox?
