Hello, I just took a look at the account you mentioned in the AdWords web interface's Campaign Summary display page. When I explicitly set the date range to Oct. 6, 2008-Oct. 6, 2008, the numbers I see are
Campaign #5: 264 clicks, 89,926 imprs. Campaign #1: 44 clicks, 5756 imprs. I believe that this matches the values you say you got back via the AdWords report you scheduled using the API, and those values should be the correct ones. If you saw different values in the AdWords web interface's Campaign Summary page then one possible reason is that you had an incorrect date range specified, or perhaps you were looking at the web page on Oct. 6--the stats on the web interface are not real-time, as the disclaimer at the bottom of the page states. As for the AdWords API ReportService documentation and our documentation in general, I've been passing along all the feedback I've gotten in the Google Group to the documentation team, and most of those changes have made it into the current version of the docs, which was recently relaunched on Google Code at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/ Cheers, -Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team On Oct 11, 7:46 am, timprepscius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ahh... > > Hey Google!, when he realizes the answer to this question, don't you > think he will think to himself, "why was this not documented?
