Re: AdGroupAdService Selector XML
That's the alternate solution, however we do thousands of price checks and changes per hour in our business, this task was done manually up until this point, the problem is the existing site is so big now it would take us months to rewrite. I wanted the ASP solution purely because it would purely be for updating prices on adverts, everything else would still be micromanaged. Once the ASP solution is in place as a bridge we will look forward. Thank you Anash, you are a great help. On Tuesday, 6 March 2012 10:06:08 UTC, Anash P.

Re: AdGroupAdService Selector XML
Hi Hugh, I understand, I think we had this discussion about ASP and AdWords API a couple of years back. I'd probably start by building a webservice that can make the API calls (written in in PHP or .NET) and then modify the site to call the intermediate web service. That way you can use a client library without investing to rewrite the whole site in another language. Of course, it will be slightly slower than the existing solution due to the additional hop, that's something you can weigh against the effort to rewrite the whole site. Cheers, Anash P.

Re: AdGroupAdService Selector XML
Cheers Anash, that is exactly what the doctor ordered. We can't currently use any of the client library's as the entire system is build in classic ASP, I am trying to get the software and hardware upgraded to move to .net or php but we just don't have the resource for moving such a large website over.

Hi Hugh, I've given a sample request xml for retrieving all the adgroups under a campaign.
