data streams

[timp]

Hey,

Something which won't be done.  Possibly is impractical due to bandwidth whatever.  But I thought I would throw it out there.

<accent=german> It would be really cool, </accent> 

if I could get a realtime data stream from google.  This data stream would work like this.

GoogleDataStream dataStream = new GoogleDataStream(credentials);

dataStream.setSource(account / campaign / whatever);

dataStream.setDataIncluded(clicks,impressions, changes, etc);

dataStream.setAggregationInterval("30 minute");

InputStream i = dataStream.openStream();

And then I would read the inputstream and send the data into our database.

I would keep the stream open throughout the day.  Doing a block/read on it.

I actually thought this is how you implemented your new reports.  I thought you had done something like making a report a process, and then having that report aggregate data though time incrementally, instead of querying somewhere.  But, seeing your most recent report changes, I suppose this is not the case.

Anyhow.

Hello Tim,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will forward it to the product management for review.

This question is quite old, but did anyone from Google think about this?

Many APIs are switching over to real-time event streams and AdWords would be a project where this makes a lot of sense!

The report API by itself is sometimes awkward to work with, not being able to combine segmentation A with KPI B and stuff like that.

With a stream API you would just provide A and B as fields of the event and we could handle the aggregation ourselves as we need it.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, the current version of API doesn't support real-time event streams yet.

Cheers,
