Hi Panks, You may want to try using the CustomerSyncService, which given a date- time range will tell you which entities have changed:
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/CustomerSyncService.html If it doesn't report any account changes then you could skip fetching the report. Do keep in mind that report statistics (clicks, impressions, etc) will change over the course of the day and may have small corrections for a few days afterwards to remove spam clicks, etc. Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team On Oct 31, 2:59 pm, Panks <pankaj....@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi Anash, > Thanks for the reply. > > But my major concern is to make sure that the custmor hasn't done any > changes in his account since the last time, I fetched the report. > Is there are way. > By comparing two reports seems a bit impossible because reports might > not be for the same date range, and It could have staggered entities > from previous days. > > Any pointers, how to avoid the whole effort, if user haven't done any > changes in his account ?? > > Thanks > Panks > > On Oct 27, 9:29 am, AdWords API Advisor <adwordsapiadvi...@google.com> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi Panks, > > > You need to do an xml comparison, since the reporting doesn't offer a > > provision for sorting the records, and hence does not guarantee order > > of records. > > > Cheers, > > Anash P.
