I have been asked by my company to create and auto download script for the total adWord cost per day for importing into one of our internal systems for reporting purposes.
So far, just trying to setup the authentication, and all of the various test accounts / services has been a complete nightmare. I will be setting this all up using PHP as requested, but I have been unable to find any good docs for completing this task. Rather than mess up my companies production adWords account(s), I have been using my personal accounts (which aren't very active) to sort out this complicated mess. Once I have all of the various google account / api / token / info requirements gathered, I will then be using this to setup my companies accounts correctly. 1) I need an adWords account. Easy enough, I have one of those I can use (google / email account #1). 2nd) MCC. Never knew it existed. I understand now that it can be used for managing multiple adWords accounts. I still have to set one up, and it requires a new email address (email #2) 3rd) I now need a TEST MCC account (email #3!) -- Now, I have not specifically seen anywhere that I will have to create "test adword" account, but it really seems like I will need to at this point (email #4?). 4th) adWord API Test account docs: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/test-accounts These are extremely confusing docs. I showed this page to a couple other devs, and no one got it. They all feel sorry for me, and the task I have been given. To highlight a couple points from the page: "Use the production MCC account's developer token when making requests againsts the test MCC account" "You cannot link a test MCC account or a test AdWords account with a production MCC account, or vice versa" One instruction specifically says use production info with test info, and the other point says you cannot do it. Very unclear, and no examples are given of EXACTLY what is meant by this... ----------------------- Anyway, next I somehow have managed to get past all of this scattered info, and (for now) have a valid refresh token via the google lib (using my still unapproved api token). But I am now seeing this error: $ php GetReportFields.php An error has occurred: [QuotaCheckError.INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP @ ; trigger:'<null>'] --------------- INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP? Really? Exactly what is incomplete? I think the error is incomplete, not to mention the docs for setting up a testing environment... Any help here would be appreciated, but what I really want is a pointer to a step by step guide in getting all of the account configuration data gathered, and exactly how many email accounts, and exactly what google service accounts I am going to need in order to even begin testing with these API's.
