Notification Account Changes via API

[assaf]

Hi ,

I would like to identify via API when an account had changes performed in it (via Web interface for example).

1. Is there any notification service I can register to and get alerted when these occur?

2. Any plans to expose the "Change History" report via API ?

Thanks,

Assaf

Hi Assaf,

Unfortunately, neither of these features exist in AdWords API right now. The closest you can get is to make a call to CustomerSyncService to get details about the list of objects that changed after a given timestamp. See https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/CustomerSyncService for details.

Hi Onash,

Thanks for the quick answer. A couple of followup questions:

1. Why can't I find the Selector fields for CustomerSyncService as in other services in - 

    https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selectorfields#v201409?

2. This service only returns what object have changed but not what has changed in them (budget/bidding/status etc.) ?

Thank you.

OK, I see the data is limited and I can get only the IDs of changed objects (I see the example GetAccountChanges.java).

Is there any what to know who performed the change?

Thanks,

Assaf

Hi Assaf,

This information is not yet available through AdWords API. There's a long pending feature request to expose Change history that could provide you this information. But as of now, I don't have a time frame for the release of that feature.
