Re: Ad Parameter feature requests
Hello John, All, Thanks a lot for your feedback. I've logged your message as a feature request. -Danial, AdWords API Team.

Ad Parameter feature requests
HI, probably too late for the (hopefully) soon released API next version, but I have a few feature requests for the parameter side of the api which would be great to see in a new release, I'll be honest and while most of the API is great, it does feel like the parameters were tagged on last minute.. Anyway I digress, the features: - Ability to have partial failures for mutate operations - I know that parameters are probably less like to fail than other types of operation, but things happen and it would be nice to not retry the whole list of operations for a mistake - current the main problem I have and strictly speaking it is a human issue is deleted keywords not getting propagated to my local db when made by rogue users on the web interface, but I guess other things such as illegal values could creep in there. - Ability to do bulk jobs with parameters, would be great to fire these off in the background and just grab the results - Ability to have a default value for a group/ad and not specify a param for each keyword As you can see the big problem for me is dealing with a large number of parameter updates, I can't see a simpler way around it when you have 10s (close to a 100) of thousands of products in your campaigns and the associated million or so keywords.
