How to get cost from each account for this month without using Account Performance Report in Python

[Eugene Reznichenko]

I am able to pull cost data for each of my managed accounts for this month using Account Performance Report in Python. However, this process is very slow. Is there a method I can use instead of pulling a report for each account? I'm using v201802.

Hi Eugene,

I am afraid that we don't have any direct method to get cost of all accounts under the manager account. However, you could use parallel_report_download.py to get cost data via Account Performance Report for all accounts directly under a manager account in multiple parallel threads. This example extract the data for AdGroup Performance Report, you can modify it according to Account Performance Report. The report download request may time out on extremely large data sets. For more information please refer to this guide.  I hope this will help you. Let me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks,

Actually, my script works much faster when I run it after 11 pm EST
