Hello John,
Once you made a getCampaigns request, your sandbox account is initialized. The next step is to get the list of accounts (see example<http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ads-ruby/source/browse/adwords_api/examples/v201109_1/account_management/get_account_hierarchy.rb>) and choose a sub-account to use. As by default you are 'hitting' an MCC account which can have no campaigns, you will always get an empty response. Use the client_customer_id key to specify an account under the mcc. Also, I've recently published a rails-based demo application you may find useful, see source<http://code.google.com/p/google-api-ads-ruby/source/browse/adwords_api/examples/v201109_1/account_management/get_account_hierarchy.rb> . -Danial, AdWords API Team.
