Dynamically Generating AdWords Dashboard URLs

[Austin Smith]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a feature that navigates customers to a specific campaign group in the adwords dashboard.  For this reason I'm looking to construct a URL like:

https://adwords.google.com/cm/CampaignMgmt?authuser=0&__u={user_id}&__c={account_id}#cg.{campaign_group_id}.cgo

But the account_id appears to be different from the customer ID that is returned via the AdWords API.  Where can I find each c= value that corresponds to the actual customer ID?

Hi Austin,

I'm afraid that the "c=XXXXXXXX" value that you see in the AdWords UI does not directly correspond to the customer ID that is returned by the AdWords API reports or services. Also the only available sources for the customer via the AdWords API is from the ExternalCustomerId field or via the CustomerService.Customer.customerid and the ManagedCustomerService.ManagedCustomer.customerid objects.

Best regards,

Peter
