Saved Reports

[gk_d2d]

Hello,

I am new to the Google API scene. I am wondering if it is possible to
run a saved report as a job?

We are trying to generically provide monitors and analytics for our
customers and they usually create a report with all the data they need
for this purpose and save it. If I am able to get the results from
these reports, it will avoid us from building specifics about report
types, columns etc into the our process.

Thank you for any insights
cheers

Hello,

The AdWords API's getAllJobs() method will return information about
all the reports currently active in the report center for the account
you are accessing:

http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/ReportService.html#getAllJobs

This includes reports scheduled via the web interface as well as
reports scheduled via the API. You can download reports that were
initially scheduled via the web interface by identifying them in the
getAllJobs() results and then passing in their ID to
getReportDownloadUrl():

http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/ReportService.html#getReportDownloadUrl

Note that getAllJobs() will return somewhat misleading information
when it comes to reports that are set up via the web interface to run
automatically on a schedule; the timestamps for daily/weekly/etc.
instance of these reports will be identical, but you should be able to
determine which the newest is by the order in which they're returned
by the getAllJobs() call.

Hello Jeff,

Thank you very much for the quick response and for pointing me in the
correct direction. I shall investigate. It appears that if I can get
the ID for an on-demand report, I will be able to schedule a job and
obtain results on my own schedule.

Thanks very much
cheers
