Using Pandas instead of objects to automatically run entire Adwords account - any downsides?

[angie...@simplisafe.com]

I'm running a large Adwords account. The plan right now is to shift everything to run entirely on Python, including adding keywords and negative keywords, adding new text/display ads, doing bid adjustments, managing Shopping campaigns, checking A/B test results, and all kinds of reporting.

My background is in data analysis, not software development. I've done object-oriented stuff with Java back in school, but I always prefer Pandas when it comes to working with multiple reports and datasets. Way less code, faster, and much less work when you bring code from Bing to Google and vice-verse. 

The question is: are there any downsides with not using object-oriented programming when working with Adwords API, that I haven't thought of?

Hi Angie,

Being that the concern is more related to programming using the Python language rather than the different features, services, and reports of the AdWords API, I would recommend that you contact the Python library owners directly via this link for further assistance. I hope this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Did figure this out? I'm looking into doing the same thing.
