Re: Best Practices for working with reports?

[Peter Bowen]

Hi.

I think you're doing it the right way by separating the scripts. That's 
good programming practice.

I don't know how good python is at freeing memory but if you're handling a 
really big report it might be better to keep the get report and process 
report functions separate as you have them to avoid timeout or memory out 
errors.

Hi Nellle,

I believe the steps you are doing in downloading the report is correct. 
However, I am not familiar with pandas dataframe as we do not support other 
third party application integration with the AdWords API. Currently, these 
are the supported download formats 

 that 
you could use in downloading reports. Also, you could use the 
*getAsString() *method to retrieve the data as string representation then 
you could parse the data. After parsing the data, you could then create a 
method on your end that could save those data in your pandas dataframe.

Thanks and regards,
Luis
