How can I retrieve interaction metrics (Clicks, Impressions, Keywords, etc...) via the API without downloading an Ad Hoc report?

[jnethe...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to retrieve data from my AdWords account to display in my application, and I'm trying to simply pull down relevant data to associate with my Campaigns and Ad Groups and I can't seem to find any services that are related to this. The only way that I've found to get this data is to download a report, which is a massive waste of time for me, because it just adds an extra step in processing the data that gets pulled down.

In previous versions of the AdWords API, you were able to use Clicks, Impressions, etc as selector fields, but this functionality seems to have mysteriously disappeared. So... where did this data go? How can I get it?

Hi,

It is possible to not download report, but get it in string.

Just set parameter "file_path" to null in method ReportUtils::DownloadReport

F. e.

$selector = new Selector();

$selector->fields = array('CampaignId', 'AdGroupId', 'AdGroupName', 'AdNetworkType1', 'Impressions', 'Clicks', 'Cost');

$selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('AdGroupStatus', 'IN', array('ENABLED'));

$selector->predicates[] = new Predicate('CampaignStatus', 'IN', array('ENABLED'));

$reportDefinition = new ReportDefinition();

$reportDefinition->selector = $selector;

$reportDefinition->reportName = 'Criteria performance report #' . uniqid();

$reportDefinition->dateRangeType = 'LAST_7_DAYS';

$reportDefinition->reportType = 'ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT';

$options = array('version' => ADWORDS_VERSION);

$result = ReportUtils::DownloadReport($reportDefinition, null, $user, $options);

echo $result;

Hope it helps you

Hello,

In the AdWords API, reports could be downloaded in these formats only. You could download the report in XML format and assign it to string. Please check out reporting basics guide for more details.
