Hey there, I am new in that AdWords API network.

Here is an interesting but that simple question, how should we read and understand microAmount value?

Forexample if microAmount is set to "50000000" , how much is it in $ dollars? 5$ or 50$ etc. Does the meaning vary on my local currency (that is not USD) ?

It's the standard micro i.e. divide by 1000,000.

You can set the field:

reportMoneyInMicros

to 'false' if you want to get the result back as 5 instead of 5,000,000

Hi,

As Oliver mentioned, 1 micro is 1-millionth of the fundamental currency. If your account is in USD, then 1USD = 1000000 micros.

In v201406, the method that has the reportMoneyInMicros parameter has be rendered obsolete. So you'll have to deal with currency amounts in micros.

Just divide any micro amount by 1,000,000. That'll give you local currency.

Hi,

Also, see our docs on money amounts in reports for a complete explanation, including examples.
