Hi,

Previously, I always retrieved the Reporting Data in plain text file format, but since 20 Aug 2015, it seems that the reporting data I received has been encrypted and it looks like the following:

Hi,

I was able to retrieve the CSV data format for my reporting data before 20 Aug, I have specified the CSV data format "<downloadFormat>CSV</downloadFormat>" in the "reportDefinition", it was working fine until 20 Aug, all the sudden, the reporting data I received looks like this:

==================

Can any one let me know what I am doing wrong and how I can read this data? Why doesn't it return CSV file format as before? 

Many thanks.

Hello,

Could you provide the SOAP XML request and response for the report? Just click Reply privately to author in the forum when responding. Don't forget to remove the developer token in the output.

Thanks,
Umesh, AdWords API Team.
