Hi, 

I am new to the Adwords API. 

Is it possible to get a list of recent changes that happened in the account?
Just looking to get a list of the last 30 changes thats done in the account - Date, Campaign Name & Changes. 

How do I get this data via API?

Thanks

Arjun

Hi Arjun,

You may get the account changes by using the CustomerSyncService.get of the AdWords API. An example can be found via the GetAccountChanges example (other languages are also available in the link) in the client library.

Best regards,

Is there a way to get the user that makes the changes or at least filter based on it?
I need get this to filter the results so we don't get extra changed entities not done by an app that is making the changes.
Is an issue if we can't. Some of our client accounts are huge.

Hi,

Filtering the results based on the user which applied those changes is currently not supported via the AdWords API. You may keep an eye on our blog for any updates if and when this can be made available to future versions.

Thanks and regards,

Hey there,

CustomerSyncService only sends back the ID of the ad, criterion, and feed that is changed. How can we get for instance what the ad was before and after the change? Or, what was the budget before and after the change?

Thanks,

Hi,

My apologies as what you are looking for is currently not supported. Additionally, since this is already an old forum thread, I would recommend that you create a new one for future inquiries for better tracking.

Thanks and regards,

In Google Ads I see details for all changes, for example: "1 Expanded text ad created" or "Campaign Changed". How can I get these messages from the API?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for reaching out. The GetAccountChanges example will show the IDs and types of the objects that were changed over a period of time. Unfortunately, it only provides limited information.

Please see the CampaignChangeData and FeedChangeData for the values that can be returned from CustomerSyncService.get .

Regards,
Mitchell
