I know this is an old thread, but I'm new to the AdWords API, and I need to 
know the account creation date as well.

In my case, I need to know the account creation date because I'm building a 
reporting service that queries the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT.  The 
algorithm I'm using is to start with today's date, then query backwards 
(reverse chronologically) one month at a time.  The problem is I need a 
reliable way to know when to stop querying.  My current method is to stop 
querying when I get 0 records for a query.  I'm not sure if this is 
reliable as I'm guessing it's possible that there could be no activity for 
a month (perhaps all campaigns are paused)?

Knowing the account creation date would give me a reliable way to stop 
querying since this will ensure that I'm querying the entire period of the 
account's existence.

Any better suggestions?
