AdWords v201708 CustomerService / clientCustomerId null value - error?

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

Attempted to migrate from AdWords API v201705 to v201708 and while running 
existing code to get all customer accounts, this error was received.

AuthenticationError.CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_IS_REQUIRED @ ; trigger:''

Was there a change in v201708 so that clientCustomerId is required while 
retrieving all customers in a managed account?

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201708/CustomerService

"Starting with v201607, if clientCustomerId is specified in the request 
header, only details of that customer will be returned. To do this for 
prior versions, use the get() method instead."

Thanks,

Bejan A.

Re: NuGet Google.AdWords.dll not strong name signed? v19.0.0

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

Hi Peter,

I am referring to the library that is packaged officially here - 
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.AdWords/

Usually the dll is signed, but this and also the precompiled assembly at 
github are not signed.

Thanks,

NuGet Google.AdWords.dll not strong name signed? v19.0.0

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

Just fetched the NuGet of Google.AdWords.dll (v19.0.0) and it's not strong 
name signed.

Will we need to compile it with the strong name cert? Or will a strongly 
named version be published at NuGet?

VS 2015 has the error during runtime -

Sitelinks migration example code issue? FeedMappings question

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

RE: sitelinks migration guide @ 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/extension-settings#migration_steps

This value of sitelinkFromFeed.Line3 should be set and not 
sitelinkFromFeed.Text, right?



Also it's not clear how the feedMappings value from GetFeedMapping() should 
be used as the example code does not use it. Or am I just not seeing it?

Re: Shouldn't the Cost field always be a "money " type? (and in micros)

Also, TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT has AverageCpc as *double *instead of 
*money 
*type.

And FINAL_URL_REPORT has Conversions as *long *instead of *double *as it is 
in every other report.

Shouldn't the Cost field always be a "money " type? (and in micros)

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

We use the Report Definition Service to get field data for all report 
types. Also, we refer to this super handy data for field descriptions:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/all-reports.csv

We noticed that in a couple reports the "Cost" field is specified as *long *and 
not as *money *type.

The *money *type field cues our AdWords reporting software to convert from 
micros, and the Cost field data is in micros.

The two reports that show Cost as long are TOP_CONTENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT 
and VIDEO_PERFORMANCE_REPORT

Is this by design or will it be fixed?

Thanks!

Is Automatic Placements Performance a single or multiple attribution report?

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

According to the API documentation the Automatic Placements Performance 
report is a single attribution report:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/automatic-placements-performance-report

However the documentation also indicates this report is a multiple 
attribution report:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#by-attribution

So which is correct?

Thanks!

Re: Incorrect Namespaces in Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.v201506.ReportDefinition

Hello Dan and thanks for your help. 

I'm pulling the lastest .NET AdWords dll from Nuget. Will there by a 
version update there soon or should I fix the namespace issues from code at 
the github source and compile?

After updating from v201502 to v201506 I get the following exception from 
GetResponse():

Also getting this error, only in the Geo Performance Report and Click

Our reporting software  
uses oauth2 for authentication and accesses other reports without issue,

This reminds me of the NOT_ADS_USER bug that happened

couple months ago.

Same issue here with the Geo performance report using AdWords API v201409. 
It worked fine when we ran it last week, and now the geo performance report 
returns the error:

Error: AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER, Trigger: , FieldPath: 

Account performance and other reports work fine.

Re: Field ConversionTypeName is sometimes returned as ConversionType instead of ConversionActionName

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

Same issue here, also with Account Performance report.

Expected field display heading 'Conversion action name" and getting 
"Conversion type" - this is unexpected based on documentation.

Started happening on 9/17/2013.

Re: Problems with ReportUtilities.DownloadClientReport with .NET 14.5.0 client library

[Bejan @ MarketFlare]

We ran into the same issue after moving to the .NET 14.6 library. 

To fix this we had to edit source and recompile the Google.AdWords.dll. 
Line 45 in ReportUtilities.cs (Util\Reports) was updated:

from -

private const string DEFAULT_REPORT_VERSION = "v201109";

to -

private const string DEFAULT_REPORT_VERSION = "v201206"; //or to 
whichever version you are using... looks like v201109_1 in your case

Now we no longer receive the "invalid content" error. 

As for the other issue of code execution hanging we did not experience this 
enough to see a pattern or problem. For this type of issue maybe RX 
"ToObservable" could help if DownloadClientReport is run as a Task:

Add RX (System.Reactive.dll) and ExtensionMethod:

public static Task TimeoutAfter(this Task task, int 
millisecondsTimeout) {
return 
task.ToObservable().Timeout(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(millisecondsTimeout)).ToTask();
}

I learned about this from here (credit to the first comment there) -
