First time using API of Ad Words

[Juan Carlos Blanco Delgado]

Hello guys, 

My apologies for this question. There is a lot of information and google offers a lot of how to start. 

I just need short guide of how to start.

I am a python developer (junior, just to be clear) so I would like to use python to use my Google Adwords Account and retrieve data of my campaigns, such as impressions per keyword and landing page, or negative list that belongs to a specific campaign.

I have this github tutorial which looks amazing https://github.com/googleads/googleads-python-lib

Could you tell me is there is something similar or something else???

I just need a jump to start because between ads script, AWQL and the api calls I am a little confused.

Thank you!

Hi Juan,

No worries, feel free to reach out our team if you have questions/concerns.

With regard to the Github link that you provided, that is the client library that you may download if you want to use the Python language for developing your application using AdWords API. 

Moving forward, you may refer to the Reporting Basics documents if you want to know how get the performance data of your AdWords entities and to know the steps necessary to create and submit a report request.

Furthermore, you can use the Campaign Performance Report to retrieve data of campaigns, Keywords Performance Report for keywords, and Landing Page Report for landing pages. You may refer to this link to see all the report types in AdWords API.

Hi Ejay, 

I have already created the Token from my production account. 

I have created a Test Manager Account, and Test Account appears on the top right corner!

Now, I dont know how to create a Test Account, should I just invite myself using an email not associated to Google adwords?

Hi Juan,

If you wish to create a test client account under your newly generated test MCC account using the AdWords API, then you can do so by using the CreateAccount example. You will need to use the test MCC account ID as the clientCustomerId and use the OAuth2 credentials generated using the email address tied or associated to the test MCC.

Let me know if you have further question.
