I am looking for some clarification regarding allowed API usage. I
have a client who would like a simple iPhone application to view their
Adsense revenue. From what I have discerned thus far the only way to
access this data is through the Adsense API? If this is true and I'm
looking to develop an application for the App Store, does the 100,000
pageview requirement fall on any user looking to access their data
using the integrated API or only on the developer account associated?
Some clarification on this issue or an indication of the proper
approach to accessing revenue data would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Matthew McGoogan.
The AdSense API Terms (http://code.google.com/apis/adsense/
terms.html ) outline the minimum functionalities that must be met to
use the API in section III-2-g. In short, it is against the Terms to
use the AdSense API only to pull reports.
If you are interested in customizing the AdSense reports found in your
account, I suggest that you visit the AdSense help center entry for
this at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=8447
