How do I set custom date range when downloading reports using adwords API PHP client library.

[jaison....@gmail.com]

I am using adwords PHP client library for my application. I want to to download reports for a custom date range and do not know the right parameters used to set the dates.

Following is the code I'm currently using:

$reportFileName = DS . 'AdPerformanceReport_dated.csv';

$reportType = 'AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT';

$filePath = dirname(__FILE__) . $reportFileName;

$user = new AdWordsUser();

$user->LogAll();

$user->SetClientCustomerId($adwordClientId);

$user->LoadService('ReportDefinitionService', ADWORDS_VERSION);

$selector = new Selector();

$selector->fields = $reportFields[$reportType];

// Create report definition.

$reportDefinition                                      = new ReportDefinition();

$reportDefinition->selector                        = $selector;

$reportDefinition->reportName                   = 'Ad performance report';

$reportDefinition->dateRangeType             = 'CUSTOM_DATE';

$reportDefinition->reportType                    = $reportType;

$reportDefinition->downloadFormat           = 'CSV';

$reportDefinition->includeZeroImpressions = FALSE;

$options = array('version' => ADWORDS_VERSION);

// Download report.

ReportUtils::DownloadReport($reportDefinition, $filePath, $user, $options);

I hope someone can tell me what are the right parameters to set dates.

Hi,

You can achieve this by setting the dateRange attribute of your selector to a DateRange with the desired min and max dates.

Hi,

You can use the date range of ALL_TIME to request all available dates.
