Downloading whole account

[Jan Šrámek]

Hello. Adwords Editor allows to export whole account. It takes few seconds. My desire is to do the same thing via API and then Looping over all campaings, adgroups only in php. In my current method i am downloading all comapaingns then looping over all - getting all groups - getting all ads for every group.... This take hours and there is too many requests. Any advice how to do it as Adwords Editor do? Thank you.

Hello, 

If AdWords Editor serves your need for this particular case, you should just use it to download the account data. AdWords API allows you to manipulate data on more granular level. You could also download data using the report API. But it doesn't provide functionality for exporting whole account as you described. 

Thanks,

Yin, AdWords API Team.
