Xml still not working?

[derjanni]

I've got two scripts now working perfectly, one that updates prices on my ads and another one that actually does bid management. 

Now I wanted to have a script that automatically creates new ads when a new product of a certain kind arrives that I have ad templates for.

The product feed as SKUs which the AdGroups have as well and that's how I match them.

Is "Xml" still not available in AdWords Scripts and do you know when it'll be available?

AFAIK its in Apps Scripts already:

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_xml

I keep getting:

ReferenceError: "Xml" is not defined. (line 24)

This is really annoying as I thought Apps Script and AdWords scripts are more or less the same :-(

I don't want to build a workaround and it would be worth waiting for me if Xml comes in soon. 

Any ideas?

I do not have an answer for you, but actually ask you for a favor - could you publish or send me (tomas.kapler at mcpraha.cz) your scripts? I am trying to find all interesting google adwords scripts, but i have found globaly just a few (generally only the tutorials here or something very easy)

and maybe an "answer" for you - publish your data in json, not xml, or use some xml2json converter and then load them using json, this may be easier (but i have never tried it with adwords script)

We're still looking into exposing the Xml logic currently in App Script.  Since our advertisers depend on AdWords Scripts to manage their advertising, we want to make sure this is the best solution to handling XML before we commit to supporting it.

Is there a timeframe when Xml is going to be exposed?

Not at this time.
