hi team, 
i need to create a script to read all invoices of an account 
(or managed account for MCC level)

to reach the relevant screen from the studio, go to Tools & Settings (top-right corner) > 
Billing tab (last from the right) > Documents 

i need to get the list presented in this screen from within an adwords script but i couldn't find any data related to a invoice in the adwords-scripts-reference. with no reference data, i assume it's either not supported or achieved using an external service and not the AdsApp object. 

each invoice can be downloaded from the above screen. so if it's possible, i also need to fetch the pdf file as bytes in order to send it over the email 

thanks, Roby (-:

Hello Roby,

Harry here, from the Google Ads Scripts Team. Allow me to assist you on this.

The Google Ads Scripts currently does not support retrieval of billing documents. That said, I would suggest that you reach out to our Google Ads Product Team instead on what can be the most efficient way to download tax invoices list through the Google Ads UI - Documents page. You can reach out to their team through this link.

On the other hand, I can reach out to the rest of the team and communicate a feature request on your behalf for the support of retrieving billing documents through scripts. Just let me know so I can proceed. However, all requests are subject for consideration and are not guaranteed to be supported anytime soon in the Google Ads Scripts.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

hi harry, thanks for the quick reply...

I'll contact the product team as suggested.
 
on a personal note, I do think it's a great addition for the script to have access to billing data, especially for MCC managers. 
I create these kinds of scripts for a long time and I've encountered several requests from clients to generate a billing-related custom script. 
if you can push it through the relevant channels it would be an awesome feature!

many thanks,
