Programatically getting available fields for AWQL to service calls (and reports too I suppose)

2014-05-15 Thread Ian Knox
I'm in the process of writing a simplified wrapper for the Adwords API client lib and it would be really helpful if there was some way to get a list of AWQL fields for service calls other than copy/pasting them from this website: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selector

It's handy but currently the country code attribute seems broken (or at least with the PHP client) $selector->fields = array('Id', 'LocationName', 'CanonicalName','DisplayType', 'ParentLocations', 'Reach', 'TargetingStatus', 'CountryCode'); $selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('ID', 'E
