I see, thank you.
I have found that I can save a great amount on API charges, simply by
pulling in full all-time reports of Keywords, AdGroups, and Content
Network (I may do Placements later too). By processing those reports,
I can generate database files for AdWords Editor, and thus my only API
charges are for the reports I generate, $0.13 each.
There are some features missing from APIlity reports, such as getting
the AdGroup report to show Search traffic only and excluding Content
Network traffic. To get around this, I have to download both the
AdGroup and Content Network reports, and then subtract the two. Could
you add these extra features to APIlity reports?
There is a funny thing about Google's Content Network reports too.
There are more clicks shown on the Content Network report than is
actually shown in my account if I login to Google's MCC dashboard. I
think this is because Google subtracts out a few "fraudulent" content
network clicks from time to time, yet however those clicks are still
showing on the Content Network Report. The difference messes up my
stats a little, but I am not using the content network much right now,
so I have been just disregarding it. Is there any way to get Google to
provide a Content Network report that shows up-to-date stats,
including the subtracted fraudulent clicks? Or otherwise, perhaps it
would be better to use the AdGroup report, and include the option to
exclude Content Network traffic, but I don't see that APIlity allows
that option.
