Using API to access billing information

[Reed]

Is it possible to use the API to access montly account billing
information? I cannot see anything in the docs, so checking here with
the experts! Am hoping that I can automate my current manual process
of logging into each client's AdWords account to print out the monthly
invoicing information.

thanks

Hi,

What fields specifically are you trying to access? The AccountInfo
object of the AccountService exposes some information, including the
billing address: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/AccountInfo.html#billingAddress.
It is also possible to access the API units used by a client account,
which can be accomplished by using the getUnitCountForClients method
of
the InfoService: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/InfoService.html#getUnitCountForClients.

Thanks for the reply, but I saw those in the docs. So far as I can
tell, that is just the billing address info. I also know about the
calls to get the counts. What I am looking for is the invoice data -
the data (I'm not trying to sound circular, but I cannot think of any
other way to say this) that shows up on the invoice that I can view
via the UI. Actual billing dollars, etc. The data that is on these
UI screens:

Billing >> Invoice Summary: Amount due details, invoiced costs,
unapplied payments, unapplied adjustments, amount due. Invoice
summary: Invoice number, invoice data, agreement, invoice amount, due
date, payment amount, payment applied date, outstanding invoice
balance.

Billing >> Invoice Summary >> click on a specific invoice >> all of
the data that is shown on the PDF file that the UI brings up (not the
PDF itself, just the data that is behind it).

thanks,

Hi Reed,

Thank you for the clarification, I see where you are coming from now.
Unfortunately this information isn't available through the API at this
time. I have submitted a feature request so that they are aware of
the need in the community for access to invoice data. Thanks for the
inquiry, and let us know if there is anything we can do.

Best,

Hi,

I'm facing to the same issue and I saw this post which is quite old. I wonder if there are any update about it with Adwords API v201809 or the beta version of  Google Ads API ?

Hi Maxime,

Thanks for reaching out. Retrieving the invoice data is now supported in the Google Ads API. You could use the InvoiceService to retrieve invoices metadata for a given month of a Google Ads account that has opted in for monthly invoicing. Please refer to this documentation on how to use the InvoiceService to retrieve invoices data. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

Thanks and regards,
Xiaoming, Google Ads API Team
