How can I get campaign spend data from the AdWords API?

[J]

I'm using the Java AdWords API and trying to get the daily or monthly spend data by campaign. I couldn't find where to do this in the documentation. Can somebody point me to the right docs? Thanks.

Hi,

I think I may have responded to you yesterday via a separate thread, but if not, here's my response to a similar question.

All performance statistics (including campaign spend) are accessible via API reports. The Reporting Basics and Reporting Concepts guides are a good place to start if you are new to reporting. In addition, if you're interested in campaign-level data, you'll most likely want to use the Campaign Performance Report and include the Cost field.
Regarding the Java library, we have examples of how to run reports in the reporting folder. Please check those out and let me know if you still have questions.

Cheers,
