How to choose and implement google adwords API

[Bollywoo Social]

We are trying to fetch the adwords data at our end and for the same we need the technical support. The detailed description of the issue being faced - We need an API Library to get all the data of Googler adwords in our local systems. Please provide us with the API's Libraries and the documentation in PHP to get the step by step  process to integrate the same on our local systems.

Hi, 

To start off with, you would need to sign up for access to the API. While your application is in the process of being approved, you can setup the environment to make their first API call against test accounts. This would include setting up the PHP library for development and generating OAuth credentials for the AdWords account. Lastly, you can go through the sample code examples to get a heads up on using the API. Once your application is approved, you can start making API calls against production AdWords account, the process for which is the same as test accounts. To extract data from the API, I would recommend using the AdWords API Reporting. You can choose, from the list of reports, ones most suitable to your requirement. 

Hope this helps. Please feel free to revert in case you have more questions.

Regards,

User agent would be the name of your company.
