change_event for gathering data within last year

[Игорь Сафонов]

Hello,

We need to get the last year's data on changes done on several google ads accounts.

But the difficulty is that the documentation says we must specify period within last 30 days
"The WHERE clause on change_date_time is also required. It must specify a window within the past 30 days".

Alternatives for us seem to be:

• to press "download data" on every page via web interface (it seems a bit painful and not all needed data there)
• write a parser (time consuming and doesn't feel right)

What can be a workaround for our situation?

Sincerely,
Igor

Hi Igor,

Thanks for posting your concern.

Allow me to discuss first the UI, if you are asking for the workaround to improve downloading of data here, then you may reach out the product team via this link as it is outside of our scope.

As for workaround in the change_event of Google Ads API, I am afraid that you can only specify period within the last 30 days in the said report type. With this, I can raise a feature request to my team on what you are looking for on the below concern. You may just provide the sample use case why you need this so that I can proceed with creating this feature request.
