AdWords API Re: Legality of Adwords API Usage
Hello, I'm sorry, but I can't comment publicly on whether a specific application is or is not violating the AdWords API terms and conditions. We do have a process in place, outlined in the terms and conditions document, for auditing applications that use the AdWords API to assure compliance. I do need to reiterate that you are bound by the AdWords API terms and conditions document when using the AdWords API. There may be additional terms and conditions in place that users of Google's web tools (like the Keyword Tool) are required to follow.

I went through the terms and conditions I still needed clarification on the Keyword Elite ( Brad Callen's Keyword Elite) works When using Keyword Elite, the tool show a mini section which looks so much like the free Keyword API tool. This is mini section show for less than a second. The tool then proceeds asking the user to enter in the Captcha code. I am little confused here because to me, it looks like there's a automated script running which queries the free keyword tool, fetches the result and displays it to the user. If my observation is right, then according to the terms an conditions this is illegal. Could you please confirm this to me, because if it is not, I could build a tool which has no recurring cost.
