Dear Google API team, Today, we can retrieve elements (Campaigns, AdGroups, Ads, Criterions) with getAllElements or getAllActiveElements. What about the paused elements ? Why can't we run a getActivePausedElements ?
Let take an example : Adwords introduced more than one year ago the ability to pause ads. This is great. What about if someone pauses an ad on adwords ? how can I know it through the API ? I have to run a getAllAds() in order to retrieve the paused ads. The issue is we usually update all our ads every week and we usually have two up to for ads running simultaneously (for optimisation reasons). So, in a very short time, it is quite common to have more than 100 deleted ads, 2/4 active ads and 2/4 paused ads (for quality score reasons : we check if the new ads are better than the old ones. If not, we delete new ads and reactivate paused ads). In my example, I just burned 104/108 quotas to get active and paused ads instead of 4/8 quotas ? Crazy, isn't it ? This exemple is also valid for adgroups and campaigns. I have many accounts with 50 deleted campaigns, 20 paused campaigns and 10 active campaigns. Everytime, I burn 80 quotas instead of 30. As I am managing more than 200 accounts, it becomes quickly really frustrating... Please make it possible :) Denis (Don't tell me to run an account structure report : I already tried and it does not feet our needs) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
