Re: Error: !!!2|||-1|||Improperly formatted report request??? for AdHoc Reports Service
Hi Dave, For stored definition report downloads (where you pass an ID) we recommended using GET, since there was no large payload. For ad-hoc report downloads (where you pass the XML directly) the payload could be quite large, so a POST is recommended instead.

hi Dave, could you post the xml you used to access the sample report successfully?

Also, it's worth noting that the report download servlet enforces XML validation like the v201109 SOAP services do. This means that elements must appear in the correct order as defined by the WSDL.

Hi All, Unfortunately there are some problems with the sample report definition that we posted, and we're working to fix that.

Re: Error: !!!2|||-1|||Improperly formatted report request??? for AdHoc Reports Service
Hi Eric, Thanks for your help and it works fine now. Just one more question: the AdHoc report service documentation states that we need to call the GET request to https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload?__rd=REPORT_DEFINITION_ID to download the report. However, it seems that the HTTP Post request will return the report data directly, is that correct?

Re: Error: !!!2|||-1|||Improperly formatted report request??? for AdHoc Reports Service
I was getting the same error as the OP, tried the suggested report definition, and am still getting the same error. Tried removing the predicate completely, still got the error. Tried example report definition straight from the v201109 docs (http://code.google.com/apis/ adwords/docs/reportingtopics.html#adhoc) and same error. Problem does not appear to be account specific. Have tried doing both GET and POST, no difference in results. Since all data is now in the http header, maybe it would be useful for the AdWords team to post a sample dump of an http message so that we can see exactly what is in it for a successful request? thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.
