Hi,

I was wondering: instead of working with 9.000 files in the library: is there a way to print out the actual soap GET and POST calls that are being made within the SOAP library? Surely the endpoint, headers, and body must be assigned to some variable somewhere.  Do you know what these are? I would very much like to rewrite my api call without invoking hundreds of .php files.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Could you confirm if what you wish to achieve is to have access to the SOAP request and response that is generated during each AdWords API service call? If my understanding is correct, then you may refer to this documentation on how to enable SOAP logging in your end for the PHP client library. Let me know if this is what you're looking for.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately that will not help me.  I want to use cURL to make adjustments and to get reporting from the Adwords server.  All of the libraries do nothing more than making GET and POST HTTP requests.  After all is said and done withing the API examples, the API must simply be sending a header and a parameters to a specific domain. My question is: what are those 3 for a specific call.

I cannot be calling 9,000 php files; my company simply won't allow it.  You are, in fact, using the REST format in the background; you have to be, whether it is stated that it is supported or not.  What I am wondering: what is the nature of that format.
