How to enable soap request and response logging in Adwords API.

[mounica...@ggktech.com]

In my project, we are not using app.config, instead we are initializing the config properties while declaring the AdWords User like this.

_config = new AdWordsAppConfig();

            _config.UserAgent = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_USER_AGENT].ToString();

            _config.ClientCustomerId = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID].ToString();

            _config.DeveloperToken = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_DEVELOPER_TOKEN].ToString();

            _config.OAuth2ClientId = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID].ToString();

            _config.OAuth2ClientSecret = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET].ToString();

            _config.OAuth2RefreshToken = configData[Constants.Westpac.Social.GOOGLE_OAUTH2_REFRESH_TOKEN].ToString();

            _config.OAuth2Mode = OAuth2Flow.APPLICATION;

           

            //Initialize the AdWordsUserListService

            _adWordUser = new AdWordsUser(_config);

            _adWordUserListService = (AdwordsUserListService)_adWordUser.GetService(AdWordsService.v201605.AdwordsUserListService);

Now i want to log the SOAP Request and Reponse of AdWords API. I know, that we can log by adding few keys and listeners to App.config. But we do not want to use app.config. Is there any possibility to log them using code. Also, i want to log to database. Any examples would be helpful.

Hi Mounica,

Unfortunately, there is no way to log the SOAP calls without using the App.config. In case you decide to use App.config, your best option to log into the database would be to read the output log file, parse the XML request and response objects as necessary and insert relevant fields into a database table.

Hi Vishal,

Isn't there any method that the .NET SDK for Adwords would provide me to get the request and response objects?

Hi Mounica,

There is no way I am aware of in AdWords API and its services that will return the request and response objects. Also, as informed by Vishal, SOAP calls in the API can be logged only by using the App.config file.
