Re: AdWords API Getting Campaign statistics with the 200909 API
Hi Joshua,
The behavior you are noticing is as it was designed. Selectors in
v2009 filter the result set, and passing in an invalid id will not
return an error.

Hi Joshua,
It seems you've found answers to many of your questions. Which ones
are outstanding?
Thanks for replying. The one outstanding is the response I'm getting
when I don't have access to the queried campaign. With the v13 API, if
I queried a campaign I didn't have access to (maybe because I didn't
supply the correct account e-mail), I got:
'This campaign is accessible to the user, but does not belong to the
current customer. If you wish to access this campaign, you must set
the clientEmail header to an appropriate login.'
With 200909, I simply get:
(CampaignPage){
totalNumEntries = 0
Page.Type = CampaignPage
totalBudget =
(Budget){
period = DAILY
amount =
(Money){
ComparableValue.Type = Money
microAmount = 0
}
deliveryMethod = STANDARD
}
}
with no indication if it is a valid campaign ID, or whether or not I
have access to the ID I queried. The distinction between not
existing and insufficient permissions seems to have been removed
with no way (I can see) to tell the difference.
Thanks!

OK, I from a v13 API call that I don't have any campaigns available
to me...so, that answers part of my question, BUT when I specify an
id in getCampaign (v13) it tells me I can't access that campaign.
When I do that for v200909, it just returns zero records and
doesn't tell me why. Not very friendly. :)
I see that the CampaignService has an object named Stats which
has all the aforementioned fields, but there is no indication on
how to retrieve that object for a campaign. How do I do a call
that will retrieve a Stats object, and thus the information I
need?
OK, so I understand now that if results are returned, they'll
include a Stats object...got it.
In fact, in the wsdl file, on line 3352 (CampaignService.wsdl for
200909), the operation is defined as:
wsdl:operation name=get
(lower case 'G'). Same for 'mutate.' It would seem the
documentation is incorrect in this case.
Sigh...I could have sworn the docs were saying Get, but I guess
not. They are saying GetSomething for the old calls when the
correct call is getSomething, though. :)
So, a couple of questions answered, one still outstanding. :)

AdWords API Getting Campaign statistics with the 200909 API
So, the migration guide for the 200909 API says to replace this call:
campaign_service.GetCampaignStats(campaign_id, '2009-01-01', '2009-01-31')
use this:
selector = {
'ids': [campaign_id],
'statsSelector': {
'dateRange': {
'max': '20090131',
'min': '20090101'
}
}
}
campaign_service.Get(selector)
GetCampaignStats used to return a StatsRecord with these fields:
averagePosition, clicks, conversionRate, conversions, cost, id, and
impressions
All I get from the campaign_service.Get(selector) call (this is using
suds in Python):
selector = ga.factory.create('CampaignSelector')
selector.ids.append(campagain[some valid id])
selector.statsSelector.dateRange.min = '20100301'
selector.statsSelector.dateRange.max = '20100331'
print ga.service.get(selector)
is:
(CampaignPage){
totalNumEntries = 0
Page.Type = CampaignPage
totalBudget =
(Budget){
period = DAILY
amount =
(Money){
ComparableValue.Type = Money
microAmount = 0
}
deliveryMethod = STANDARD
}
}
I see that the CampaignService has an object named Stats which has all
the aforementioned fields, but there is no indication on how to
retrieve that object for a campaign. How do I do a call that will
retrieve a Stats object, and thus the information I need?
The documentation is very unclear here.
By the way, if I try to use ga.service.Get(...), suds reports:
Method not found: 'CampaignService.CampaignServiceInterfacePort.Get'
In fact, in the wsdl file, on line 3352 (CampaignService.wsdl for
200909), the operation is defined as:
wsdl:operation name=get
(lower case 'G'). Same for 'mutate.' It would seem the documentation is
incorrect in this case.
Thanks!
