DataService (v201101) not returning results within the Selector DateRange

[sushanth ramaiah]

Hi,

I am using DataService (v201101) to retrieve bid landscape data. The
documentation says that the date range can be selected.

Please refer, http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/DataService.DateRange.html.

However, the start date and end date in the results doesn't seem to
comply with the selected date range. Please have a look at the SOAP
messages below. The min and max values for the dateRange are 20110814
and 20110829 respectively.

<soapenv:Header><ns1:RequestHeader soapenv:actor="http://

The startDate and endDate are 20110921 and 20110927 are not in the
defined range! How is it possible to confine the results into a fixed
date range? Please advice.

Hi,

The dateRange field is generic for the selector and serves to specify a date range for statistics returned by other services i.e. CampaignService but it has no effect for this service.

How to set DateRange for DataService?

[Anthony Madrigal]

Hi Kanan,

You can set the DateRange for the DataService by including in the Selector. This is true for all the services that support the DateRange.

Cheers,
