Token usage

[EP]

I'm trying to get an idea of how much my API usage will cost and am
hoping that someone out there can help.

On the rate sheet, getReportFields' per-item cost is listed as 1 per
ReportDefinitionField. So, let's say I run a keyword report with 9
fields. I need the data both aggregated and separated by keyword for
the report period. Let's assume that the report generates 9 rows of
keyword-level data and one row of aggregate data.

In this example, would I be charged 90 units for this one report (9
fields times 10 rows of data)? Or just 9 units? Additionally, am I
charged every time this report runs?

Thank you!

ReportDefinitionService Token Usage

[ADM]

On the rate sheet for using the Google API, a mutate(ADD) call for the
ReportDefinitionService should only cost 1 token. Returned for that
mutate(ADD) call is a ReportDefinition object that contains the ID of
the newly created report definition. With this ID one can download the
newly created report from the following URL:

https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/reportdownload?__rd=REPORT_DEFINITION_ID

My question is:

Does it cost any more tokens to actually download the report from the
above URL? If, so, are the extra tokens related to how much data is
contained within the report?

Does anyone have a quick idea on this? Much appreciated in advance.

Re: Token usage

[David Torres]

Hi,

Defining a report costs 400 per definition and then subsequent downloads of 
that definition are free. The getReportFields cost of 1 unit is 
to dynamically fetch the fields associated to a report using 
ReportDefinition.getReportFields of you already know the fields you want to 
include in your report you don't need to call this operation.

Best,

-David Torres - AdWords API Team

Re: ReportDefinitionService Token Usage

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi,

We do not charge when you actually download the report from the
reportdownload url. Also, the rates for adding a report definition was
changed recently, now it costs 400 units, not 1 unit.

All the details for API rates are available on the AdWords API rate
sheet available at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/ratesheet.html.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor.

Refresh token usage for downloading adhoc reports

[AMAR NAYAK]

Hi ,
I need to download couple of performance reports : Adgroup and Campaign 
performance report using adhoc reports.
I am going through the v201406 documentation and getting confuse over the 
usage of refresh token .
Do we need to use refresh token in adhoc reports ? If yes ,where should I 
use it?
Are there any examples of adhoc report downloads not using the client 
library ?

Thanks,
-Amar

Re: Refresh token usage for downloading adhoc reports

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Amar,

You need an OAuth *access token* for any API request, including reporting 
requests -- see the OAuth2 Guide 
 for an 
overview of the basic steps for OAuth.

If you want to construct reporting requests without a client library, check 
out our Reporting Basics Guide 
, 
which includes information about the required headers and parameters for 
reports.

I'd encourage you to use one of our client libraries, if possible. They 
handle all of the OAuth requests and responses for you and make using the 
API much easier all around.

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Re: Refresh token usage for downloading adhoc reports

[AMAR NAYAK]

Hi Josh,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to download an adgroup performance report for multiple client 
accounts under the MCC account.
Using client library I saw an example for downloading a report for a 
particular client account.
Is there an example somewhere that shows how to pull reports for multiple 
client accounts.
I am planning to use Java API .
Thanks,
-Amar

Re: Refresh token usage for downloading adhoc reports

[Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)]

Hi Amar,

You cannot download reports for all accounts under an MCC in one request, 
but you can take the following approach:

1. Get the list of all accounts under your MCC. See the 
GetAccountHierarchy.java 

 example 
for one way to do this.
2. For each AdWords account under your MCC, set the clientCustomerId 
 
to 
the account's customer ID (you can do this in the Java library by calling 
setClientCustomerId on your AdWordsSession), and then submit your report 
request.

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Query Regarding Developer Token Usage Across Multiple MCC Accounts

[Arunoday Singh]

Hello,

I trust this message finds you well. As we work on integrating the Google 
Ads API into our platform, a question has arisen regarding the usage of 
developer tokens across multiple MCC (My Client Center) accounts.

Could you please clarify whether we need a distinct developer token for 
each MCC account, or if a single developer token can be utilized across 
different MCC accounts? This information is crucial for ensuring our 
platform's compatibility and adherence to Google Ads API guidelines.

Your prompt response on this matter would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

How to check for token usage and make sure requests are made in a valid account

[Pedro Tanaka]

Hello, 


I am developing a custom application to report click conversions for a 
google ads account linked to my company using Google AdWords API.

The marketing department tells me that no conversions have arrived in the 
account, but on the other side I see that the requests are successful on my 
application logs. In order to clarify things, I would like to know if they 
can check if requests are being made with the developer token they gave me 
directed at their accounts.

How can I check that?
