Hi,

I run a marketing agency who wants to pull in Adwords data to our own internal reporting and analytics dashboard. The main things we want to do is:
  • Pull reports on ads managed by us (Performance, Search volumes for our keywords etc)
  • Pull TargetingIdeaService and TrafficEstimatorService data to analyse which keywords we should be considering to target
It will not exceed 1000 reports per day for sure.

That's pretty much it. We use Python to pull a bunch of different data sources together for KPI reporting and for scoping out interesting keywords and so the above is all we really need. But when looking at the RMF I get confused if we are exempt or not from the RMF because we are going to use it for (A) only internal use, and (B) the fact that we will only use the basic access (which both seem exempt) but then there's (C) the mention on the same page stating the below:

"If an AdWords API Client provides any functionality related to TargetingIdeaService or TrafficEstimatorService, it must fully implement the required Creation Functionality, Management Functionality and Reporting Functionality marked "Required" in the table below."

All three elements which seem contradictory to me (as I don't know the hierarchy of the statements) are found here:

So basically my question is twofold:
1. Is my use case okay generally to be allowed access?
2. Will we be exempt from the RMF given the information I provided above or will the RMF apply?

Would really appreciate any help because I don't want to apply and then find out after two weeks that we cannot do what we intend unless we develop ALL the required functionality in the RMF.

Thanks a lot!

Mans
