Re: questions about authentication and general viability
hi there, thanks for those links. we have reviewed those, and we still have questions. specifically, the rmf guide mentions that tools offering very limited and specialized functionality do not have to meet any creation and management requirements, but then goes on to suggest that tools providing data related to the TrafficEstimatorSerive have to provide ALL functionality listed in the rmf table: so if all we want to do is query that service for two values, which of these recommendations do we adhere to? were we to provide access to our tool to anonymous third parties, it wouldnt be strictly for internal use, what would our requirements be in this case? which leads to my confusion about your answer to my second question. you mention that we should implement the application flow of authentication, but the documentation indicates that in this model the user does indeed have to manually authenticate via a login screen. only once, i get that, but in our case even once would not be acceptable. is not what we really want a service account for authentication where credentials are read from a file accessible only by our tool? i should mention that this tool will run on php, browser-based. thanks for all your help. kind regards, -rob -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

questions about general viability and authentication
hello, i thought i just posted a question, but there must have been a glitch as i dont see it in the forum. if this topic ends up being a duplicate, i apologize. we are developing a tool to assist us in doing (and outsourcing) some keyword research. we are basically generating long-tail keywords and need to test each phrase for overall search volume and adwords competition using the TrafficEstimatorService. actually, the really crucial piece of information is search traffic volume (competition could be guesstimated), and imho, given google's monopolistic position in the search engine market, this information should be provided freely to anyone. since it isn't, can we expect to be issued a permanent developer token for such an application even though there is virtually no relation to any classic adwords-related tasks? my second question is about authentification. since the goal is to outsource this task, it is essential that users of the tool do not have access to any adwords credentials or logins/passwords. this is the main motivation behind creating this tool. any kind of authentication with the api server needs to be done silently and without any user interaction (no oauth2 login screens etc). i see that there are several authentication methods available - how can we best achieve this sort of automated authentication that we're used to from so many other soap apis out there? thanks in advance for your help. kind regards, -rob k. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

questions about authentication and general viability
hello, we are developing a tool to automate and possibly outsource some keyword research tasks. long-tail keywords are generated by us but need to be checked for search traffic volume and adwords competition, as is possible using the estimator service in the adwords frontend. we need to be able to let third parties use this tool to assist us in our research endeavors. first off i'm wondering if this is generally a viable application for qualified adwords api usage. will we get a permanent, unlimited developer token for this kind of application model? actually, the really crucial piece of information for us is search volume per search key, competition value would be great but isnt totally necessary. and actually, imho, given google's market position in search engines, this information should be freely available to anyone, anyway.. my second question is about authentication. i see there are several methods available, but i'm unclear as to which will work for us. the main thing is that the main user of the tool must not have access to any kind of adwords credentials, so all authentication needs to happen silently and without user interaction (no oauth2 login screens etc). how can we best achieve this? thanks for your help! kind regards, -rob k. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

Re: v13 Cross Client Report Service
Thanks for clearing things up Kevin. Can I suggest/request that something is put in place where old posts are updated if they are incorrect? Not easy I know but would be usable across the Google blogs and would help prevent misunderstandings and confusion in general.
