As you suggest, I am making semi-regular calls to the ServicedAccountService to approximate account creation time. It's not too bad. What I dislike about this approach is, it relies on our scheduled jobs staying up all the time. If it goes down over the weekend, then I will end up with some pretty inaccurate create times in my database when I start it up again. Ironically, it is for the benefit of our Google account reps that we want to track this data, since we send them a weekly email with the list of new accounts that we've created during that week. (I say ironically because Google is now taking away our ability to do this accurately)
I was thinking about using the CustomerSyncService as another way to figure out account create time. In the AdWords UI, you can go to the Change History and see when the account was created. However, the CustomerSyncService requires you to pass in an array of campaign IDs and a timeframe. The timeframe could be fudged, but often our accounts are created as "shells" with no campaigns in them, so that is not going to work. Are there any plans to make these kinds of changes (not campaign-specific) available in the CustomerSyncService? Or maybe there is another way that I can infer when an account was created. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
