Re: the creation date of a campaign to show?

Another option is to use the Account Performance report with the fields 
Year, Month and Impressions.  This will give one row per month that you can 
query separately.

2012-10-31 Thread Danial Klimkin
Hello J,


I actually like the solution provided by Zweitze. Querying the oldest 
campaign (make sure you include inactive campaigns too) will product the 
date which is guaranteed to be same or earlier as the first impression date.

This should be more reliable than the empty report case.

Re: the creation date of a campaign to show?

2012-10-30 Thread J
I have the same need to know the account creation date.  

In my case, I need to know the account creation date because I'm building a 
reporting service that queries the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (AdHoc 
reports).  The algorithm I'm using is to start with today's date, then 
query backwards (reverse chronologically) one month at a time.  The problem 
is I need a reliable way to know when to stop querying.  My current method 
is to stop querying when I get 0 records for a query.  I'm not sure if this 
is reliable as I'm guessing it's possible that there could be no activity 
for a month (perhaps when campaigns are paused)?

Knowing the account creation date would give me a reliable way to stop 
querying since this will ensure that I'm querying the entire period of the 
account's existence.

Zweitze - I will try your way of using CampaignService.  It's too bad the 
account creation date is not returned in the CustomerService.get() call.

Any better ideas?

I use a different, slightly better method:
 
Use campaignservice, just get campaigns and make sure you ask for the 
campaign start date. The campaign start date is NOT the date the campaign 
was created, still, it is usual earlier than the date of the first 
impression.
 
To get the earliest date of an account I ask for campaigns sorted on 
campaign start date and limit the results to 1, costing me 1 unit.

Thanks. However, I think the first date in the report will be the date the 
account started accruing impressions rather than the account creation date 
(since Date prevents zero impressions).

I tested it in one of our accounts and confirmed this is the case.

Hence, I guess the account creation date cannot be retrieved unless the 
account started accruing impressions on the same day it was created.

Re: the creation date of a campaign to show?

2012-09-10 Thread Oliver
Hi Danial,

Can you please elaborate?  

I presume you mean get an account performance report, specifying ALL_TIME 
as the date range. Correct?  The report returned has this in the first line:

 (All Time)

I can't see the date you were referring to?

 hey there,

 I query campaigns in "all time" as google adwords does. I know that I 
 could fetch the whole campaign data by setting start date to something 
 01/01/1900 and it works as I see the same results (amounts and numbers I

Hello spetz,


I believe this date comes from the very first row of impressions data ran 
with no filter rather than from any stored value. The API does not provide 
the account creation date.

ok, I see what you mean.  I'm not sure if this start date is available 
anywhere in the API (but I could be wrong).

Re: the creation date of a campaign to show?

2012-09-07 Thread spetz
Actually, what I want to show in my application is the start date that you 
see when you click on "All time" from the date template list in your 
Adwords account.

forexample if you've created your account in 1 January 2012, you will see 
this date and today's date if you click to "All time" reports in Adwords. 
So I would like to show this date when I attemp to get campaign list for 
all time (I use "01/01/1970" as starDate in dateRange selector, so I get 
this date in the campaignStats object as response!)

Are you asking about the creation date of a campaign (as in question title) 
or the creation date of an account (as in your question body)?

If for a campaign, you can find this out by fetching the campaign's 
"StartDate" from the CampaignService object.

Not sure a start date of an account is available anywhere.

the creation date of a campaign to show?

2012-09-05 Thread spetz
hey there,

I query campaigns in "all time" as google adwords does. I know that I could 
fetch the whole campaign data by setting start date to something 01/01/1900 
and it works as I see the same results (amounts and numbers I mean) with 
adwords. but the question is what is the exact start date of that result 
set, that is not year 1900 for example. This means Google is able to show 
the creation date of an account to use it to fetch all data from the 
beginning, how will we do that using API?
