Re: All Data missing in Placement Performance report?

2011-01-31 Thread AdWords API Advisor 
Hi Bryan,

I meant to ask have you tried re-running the existing report
definition from the UI.  This can be done my navigating to Campaigns -
> Control panel and library -> Reports, finding the report definition,
and clicking "Run now".

Is the returned XML valid?  That is to say does it appear to be
truncated?  Have you tried re-downloading the same report definition
after this has happened to see if the issue is transient?

Re: All Data missing in Placement Performance report?

2011-01-31 Thread ADM 
Eric,

The AdWords UI report (Network tab with all URLs) does not agree with the 
Placement Performance report for this case provided. The Network tab report 
shows hundreds of clicks and many conversions, compared to the Placement 
Performance report with nothing in it.

This is not happening every day on this account, but often. It is also 
happening on numerous other accounts in the same manner. As far as I can 
tell this issue started occurring a little over a week ago, but I am not 
certain. I know with certainty it was not happening a month ago. 

Best regards, 
Bryan

Re: RateExceededError question.

2011-01-31 Thread AdWords API Advisor 
Hi Rick,

You are correct, for those two uses cases you can only submit one URL
or keyword at a time.  We recommend you build in error handling
mechanisms that can react to a RateExceededError, and you should be
able to do some tuning to ensure that you don't often exceed the
limits.

Re: distributing an API client

Hi Eric,

I hope it's ok to jump in on this thread. I have some related questions.

I've been going over the TOC and being a software developer and not a 
Philadelphia lawyer I'm left with some unanswered questions. 

If I'm strictly a software developer (not an advertiser or agency) and wish 
to build a client app, that utilizes the Adwords API, to sell to end users 
with their own Adwords accounts (whether individuals or agencies) who gets 
charged for the usage? 

I've seen some old posts that indicate/advocating some messy ways to handle 
this because at the time of that post (2007) the developer was getting 
charged. I'm wondering if this has changed or am I going to have to charge a 
subscription fee to cover the charges that will accumulate against my 
developer token? It certainly would be cleaner if you could sell the app 
outright and it would only work if they had an Adwords account in good 
standing.

Thanks,

custom time range not saved in ReportDefinition

2011-01-31 Thread johannes.schab...@visual-meta.com 
Hi!

Since last Saturday 29th of January, we are experiencing trouble with 
setting the custom time ranges in our Reports. The problem is easily 
reproducable on our side using the Java Client Library: 

We assemble a new ReportDefinition and an according 
ReportDefinitionOperation (SET) to set the custom date range, ie. 
'20110119-20110119'. We run mutate() on the ReportDefinitionServiceInterfaceand 
inspect the result, which is supposed to be the updated 
ReportDefinition containing the new time range. The time range, however, is 
not updated but remains '20110120-20110120' (which we may have set it to at 
an earlier date).

The following SOAP trace further illustrates the problem. We first set up a 
request to update the time range to '20110119-20110119' and receive as the 
response the incorrectly updated ReportDefinition.

Hi,

The AdWords API Sandbox's database is scheduled to be refreshed
tomorrow, Tuesday,
February 1, during which all data stored in the sandbox will be cleared.  We
apologize for the late notice.  AdWords API v13 users will have to recreate
their client accounts by making a request to
AccountService.getClientAccounts(),
and v200909 users or later should make a request to CampaignService.get().
 More information on the sandbox environment and our periodic refreshes is
available at:

Re: RateExceededError question.

2011-01-31 Thread Rick 
Hi Eric, thanks for the response.

I'm using TargetingIdeaService in 2 ways, both of which don't seem to
allow more than one request at a time.

RelatedToUrlSearchParameter docs state
For KEYWORD queries, only one URL may be submitted.
and indeed it doesn't work if I try to provide more than 1 URL.

Second, I'm using RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter to find keywords
related to some other keyword. I can provide a list of keywords in
this case, but there is no way to find out which returned keyword is
related to which submitted keyword. The only way I can think of to get
this information is to submit each keyword as a separate
RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter.

Any ideas on how to best deal with these limitations?

Getting global or local search volume of a keyword via API

2011-01-31 Thread Bikram Choudhury The SEO & PHP Developer 
Hi,

I am very new to Adwords API.

My target is to "Get global or local search volume of a keyword via
API".

So my current project is: A textbox in a page, a submit button. In
textbox you can type any keyword and then you will get results after
submitting the button.

Also I have in mind to use Yahoo or WordTracker API. But I have no
idea which is better. So I want to start with Adwords API.

Can anybody help?
