Re: Automated Report Download

Hi,

We have an AdWords API .NET library with VB.NET examples. You can use it to 
write code in VB.NET. Not exactly vbscript, but it should be quite similar. 
Also, AdWords API is a paid API, but we provide free API units to 
advertisers and agencies. 
http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=45891 provides 
more details.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor.

Re: Automated Report Download

2011-10-06 Thread pp
Ok, I found the issue by reverse engineering the PHP library.  My HTTP
headers where Authorization: GoogleLogin Auth= when it
should have been Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=!  My
mistake, but I'm curious why this causes a problem for AdWords but the
same code doesn't cause any problems for the Analytics API.

I can also confirm that you can indeed download reports without a
developer token.  However, due to the recent changes outline here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/sHvSoAQTy54

It is no longer possible to download a report defined in the UI, this
leaves me dead in the water as I have no way of defining the report
through the API without a Developer token.  I've wasted several days
of development because Google couldn't be bothered to update the
documentation.

Both AdWords and the related API is a paid for service, how can Google
justify this given that the Analytics API is free, better documented
and supported!?

 Hello,

 I need to automatically pull data from Google AdWords in CSV format so that
 it can be loaded into an internal reporting application.  Unfortunately, I'm
 quite limited in the language that I can use (WSH - VBScript) and I'm not an
 AdWords Administrator (an external agency owns the admin account).

 Is it possible to use /api/adwords/reportdownload request to automatically
 download a desired report without a Developer Token?  The API documentation
 doesn't mention passing the Developer Token, however my script always
 returns  
 !!!1|||805527|||AuthenticationError.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_COOKIE_INVALID???.  I'm
 sending the clientEmail and Authorization (Auth token return from
 ClientLogin) in the http headers as specified in the documentation and every
 client library I've looked at.

 Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 Cheers
