Hi,

Marketing wish analyze how is related the revenue and the change to
MaxCPC.

Through my AdWord account, I can access to the change history of
MaxCPC. Into the tab Tools I can request a report on maxcpc change
history following the link "My Change History". It is possible to have
the same information though api?

I am not able to find this functionality on the documentation. The
ReportService permits to retrieve the CurrentMaxCPC but not the MaxCPC
to a given day. I hope I don't overlook something.

Thank you.

Hi Giovanni,

Unfortunately it is not possible to access the change history via the
API. You are also correct that it is not possible via the
ReportService to obtain the Max CPC on a given day. I think your two
best options would be to either:

a) Make an API call each day and record the Max CPC. You can use
these values later for analysis.
b) Use the ReportService to determine the Average CPC on a given day.
This won't match the Max CPC exactly, but it should correlate.

Hi Marc, 

Unfortunately, getting the history of Max CPC is still not available via the API. Please keep an eye on our blog for any announcements. 

Thanks,
