TargetingIdeaService method to JSON output?

[A Farhat]

Hi guys,

This probably is a very broad (noobie) question, but would really appreciate it if someone could give me some guidance or direction to accomplish the following...

What i'm trying to achieve is to create a JSON Rest-Full API using the Adwords API TargetingIdeaService method to get suggested keywords including the search volume and average CPC in a JSON output. It's important to extract the keyword and country data via an URL, for example:  http://api.domain.com?keyword=keyword&country=us&output=JSON

Is this even possible, if so  where to start?

See screenshot for example:

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

The AdWords API and client libraries don't directly support JSON or REST, but others on this group may have ideas or experience with wrapping our API services in this way.

Thank you! Does the API support XML? Is there anyone who can do this?

Hi,

The API uses SOAP, so all messages (besides some reporting calls) are formatted as XML.

However, our client libraries take care of generating the SOAP XML messages for you -- you simply work with objects such as Campaigns, AdGroups, and Keywords, and the client library translates that into the appropriate XML messages and API calls.

If you haven't seen it already, please check out our guide on generating targeting ideas, which includes a link to code samples for each client library.

Thank you for you answers. I think I have to source this out, so if anyone is interested?

Btw, how many API calls can you do per day or per month?

Hi,

Regarding the number of API calls you can make per day, please see our Rate Limits guide.
