Re: updating from Cross Client Report Download (ReportUtils::RunAsyncReport) to ReportUtils::DownloadReport

Hi, You get Captcha errors because you are not reusing the AuthTokens. The detailed technical blog is given below for reference, but the summary is that if you hit the ClientLogin endpoint too frequently, it will challenge you with a captcha. However, AuthTokens are long-lived, so the parent

Re: Connecting to Adwords API in C#

Hi Nick, The AdWords API sandbox and production environment are 2 unrelated environments - developer tokens for one wouldn't work for the other. To use the sandbox, what you need to do is as follows: 1. Set your Email/Password as your gmail email / password (this is fine) 2. Set your

Re: Regarding silverlight support for adword api

Hi teginder, The best approach here may be to have a SOAP/WCF service set at your end to make AdWords API calls, and have your silverlight application call that service. That way you won't run into cross-domain policy issues. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor. --

Re: WHY CRITERION CLASS HAVE SO MANY TYPES?

Hi, An ad performance report may suit your requirement, see http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/reports.html#ad. The page also lists the other types of reports available in case you are looking for more details. As for the .NET library, you can download and refer to the README

Re: v13 Geographical Report differs from other reports

Hi Alexander, v13 reports are deprecated and no longer actively developed on, so chances are that it may not return correct data. You should migrate to v201109 reports, whose data is sync with the current interface. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor. --

Re: C# API v201109 GetAllAdGroups returns always NULL.

Hi Claudio, Another possibility is you may still be using a clientEmail header. The clientEmail header is ignored in v201109 (use clientCustomerId instead), which means if you authenticate with an MCC and used to use clientEmail to target the client account, the request is now going directly

Hi, In the PHP library, the tokens are generated in a lazy fashion, i.e. right before they are needed. If you don't cause the AuthToken to get generated BEFORE the fork, then each forked process will generate its own, leading to CAPTCHA challenged. You can call GetAuthToken() (
