 Hi,

 To get attribute information you can either use the object-specific
 services such as CampaignService
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CampaignService
 , AdGroupService
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/AdGroupService,
 etc., or use reports. Reporting is often preferable for the reasons
 outlined in our Structure Reports guide
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/structure-reports.

 Fields labeled as *Attribute* always show the *current* value of the
 field -- please see the descriptions of the columns after the list of
 reports on our Report Types page
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports.

 To determine when attributes of an account have changed, you can use the
 CustomerSyncService
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerSyncService.
 This will give you the IDs of changed objects for a given time frame, but
 not the changed values. If you need the history of values on your objects,
 you will have to utilize the CustomerSyncService
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerSyncService
  in
 conjunction with the other services and store the history of values in a
 database on your side.

 Cheers,
 Josh, AdWords API Team

 Greetings,

 Using Performance reports as listed in https://developers.google.
 com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports the only way to download attribute
 data for Adwords entites (Account, Campaign, Adgroup etc)? In other words
 to get attribute/structural data is specifying the performance reports of
 your choice (say CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT) and fields of behavior
 'Attribute' (say ExternalCustomerId,CampaignId,CampaignName,Amount,Status)
 the right way to go about it?

 When we download only attribute values through performance reports, are
 the attribute values always what they are at the time of download or we can
 request for attribute values back in time?

 How can we know through API the time at which the attribute value (eg
 Amount, Status) changed for some entity (eg Campaign)?

 Thanks!

Downloading only attribute data returns no data

2014-05-22 Thread Anurag Laddha
Greetings,

We are using https://github.com/googleads/aw-reporting to download reports 
from google adwords and we are able to download the performance reports 
smoothly as long as the reports contain atleast one metric field 

But when we download reports that contain only attribute fields no data is 
returned from google apis (only field/column headers are returned but no 
data is present).

Is it not possible to download reports that contains only attribute fields 
(no metric and segment fields)? No where is it mentioned in the google 
documentation (
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting) that a 
report must have alteast one metric field

How can we download data only about attributes of our account, campaign, 
adgroup etc?

Thanks!
