Select adGroup count using AWQL

[aitkul]

Hello, is there a way to select the number of adGroups within a campaign using one AWQL query? At the moment I query all adGroups and count them iteratively, which takes really long for large campaigns.

Hi,

Are you using the SOAP services to obtain these counts, e.g., AdGroupService? If so, I would recommend using reports instead, since report requests and responses are much more lightweight than their SOAP counterparts. Our guide on Structure Reports should be helpful here.

Hi,

You can also use the totalNumEntries field of the AdGroupPage to get this detail. https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/AdGroupService.AdGroupPage#totalNumEntries
