Get Balance Api Adwords

[Василий Рогачев]

Hello.

"Balance information is still not directly available via the AdWords API. Please continue to follow our blog for updates.

However, as a workaround, you can compute the remaining balance by subtracting the total Cost of the Account Performance Report from your known budget."

Could you tell us more about calculating the balance? About calculating the cost of clicks, for a week it is clear "SELECT AccountDescriptiveName, Cost, AccountCurrencyCode   FROM ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING LAST_7_DAYS". What is the Account Performance Report ? How is it calculated? And how is it related to the balance?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. The way mentioned to calculate the balance is by subtracting the spending from the pre-set budget on the account. The Account Performance Report is the report for retrieving metrics for a specific account within a date range. Once you get the Cost value from the Account Performance Report, you could subtract it from the budget you set for the account for the same period of time to know how much budget left for the account.  

Thanks and regards,

the Cost value from the Account Performance Report - How to get it?

Hi,

There is a better way to get this value by fetching the account_budget.amount_served_micros field from the account_budget resource. You could refer to this documentation on how to write the report query. 

Thanks and regards,
