Adwords API support for webhooks - conversion and cost data

[adam....@dynamoltd.com]

Hi All, 

Does adwords offer support (or a 3rd party service ie stitch etc) for near real time webhooks for conversion and cost data? 

We are trying to build real time dashboards and with 3 hourly delays on data that wont scale. Webhooks have proven to be good work arounds for other channels so curious to understand if anyone has a solution in production? 

Thanks

Hello Adam, 

To clarify your question, are you trying to get near real time stats specific to conversion data via the AdWords API? If so, please note that performance data isn’t available instantly in AdWords, and some metrics are only updated once a day. In most cases, your account statistics (such as clicks, conversions and impressions) are delayed by less than three hours. Please check here for more details on data freshness. 

If you are trying to get alerts for certain conditions, you could explore the option of using the Alerting Framework for AdWords demo application which is an open-source Java framework for large-scale AdWords API alerting. This is based on the Java AdWords API client library. If you have any questions in particular with respect to the API, you could ask on this thread and we are happy to assist you. However, we will not be able to comment on any third party applications.

Thanks,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.
