Hello Eric Thank you very much for looking into this and yes, it does appear that the CPC values are being returned as micro-amounts of US Dollars. However, looking around the Adwords UI it appears that my account is set up as GBP.
Can anyone/Eric advise how I can confirm the currency and/or change my account to GBP so as to ensure the API returns micro-amounts of British Pounds?
