getStatsFor date range is not working

[Alpha]

I have this line of code:

var stats = campaign.getStatsFor("20130101,20141231");

Yet it's returning this error: Date range 20130101,20141231 is invalid.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there,

You need some extra quotation marks. I think you're trying to use this method:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/reference/adwordsapp/adwordsapp_campaign#getStatsFor_2

But, you're specifying the date range as a single string, so it's using this method instead:

https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/reference/adwordsapp/adwordsapp_campaign#getStatsFor_1

As you can see, the supported values for that method are things like "TODAY", "YESTERDAY", "LAST_7_DAYS", etc.

Try this instead:

var stats = campaign.getStatsFor("20130101", "20141231");

I think we could probably do a better job of explaining the issue, so I'll look into improving the error message.

Cheers,

Alex
