How to get amount spent on campaigns by an account?

[shiree...@partsavatar.ca]

Hi, 

1. Is there any API support for getting the actual amount spent on the campaigns? I want to get the list of transactions(credit or debit) made by the account?

2. We have % spent and cost in performance report, but no suitable support for the same with API?

Hi Shireen,

The Cost field in the Campaign Performance Report will get you the amount spent on your campaigns. However, the data retrieved in the said field is not real time as there are delays on the updates of the reporting metrics. You could refer to our data freshness guide for more details. For getting reports on a campaign level, you may check the Campaign Performance Report guide for more details. Also, reports are the only way to retrieve metrics such as Cost in the AdWords API.

Let me know if this answers your question.
