What services would I need for getting costs?

[Samir Sabri]

I need to get money spent on the following:

- per campaign

- per ad group

- per keyword

- per click

- per converted lead

Obviously, I would need:

- AdGroupService v201809

- CampaignService v201809

But, I am not sure which other services would I need??

Hi Samir,

Services such as CampaignService or AdGroupService do not contain metrics such as costs. You will need to run a report based on the entity you need. For example, campaigns will use the Campaign Performance Report.

Hello Anthony

Thanks for your reply, I am applying to basic access level. As the design document is required, this doc is provided as an example, therefore I need to know which services would I need.

The mentioned points in my question above is what I am interested to generate cost reports for.

So, what services shall I list in the design document?

Hi Samir,

If you are only going to use the API for reporting, then you will not need services. Services are used to manage different entities in your account. This includes creating and updating entities. If you have any questions regarding the design doc, the compliance team is better suited to assist you.
