Download multiple account performance in one request

[Dylan]

Hi,

According to doc https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting#reports_for_multiple_accounts, it's not possible to specify multiple account ids in one requrst.

Does that mean we can only download performance for ONE account from AccountPerformanceReport? And to download all accounts performance we have to send multiple request?

Thanks!

Is there an official confirmation for this? To fetch 100 accounts performance from AccountPerformanceReport, I have to send 100 requests, right?

Hi Dylan,

Yes, one report generated for a single account equates to one request via the AdWords API. However, you may try out the Parallel Download Report (other languages are also available in the link) that allows users to generate reports for all the accounts under an MCC in multiple parallel threads.

Please note however that this feature is subject to the limits stated in our rate sheet. Should you be required to generate more than 1,000 reports per day, you may opt to upgrade to standard access (if you currently only have basic access). I hope this has been helpful.

Best regards,

Peter

Since you ask...
Actually this was possible in AdWords API v13, withdrawn in 2012. Here is the announcement on the sunset of the last API version supporting cross-client reports.

The legend goes that some users requested cross-client reports that took over 24 hours to calculate.
