AdWords API Structure Report and downloading empty campaigns

2009-02-02 Thread rafal

I noticed that during the process of creating sturcutre report, with
the following fields:

["AdGroupId", "CampaignId", "KeywordId", "Impressions", "Clicks"]

campaigns that have no adgroups are not being included in the report.
Is there a way to include such a data in just one report with
"adgroupid" and "keywordid" fields empty or do I have to run another
report just for campaigns?

AdWords API Re: Structure Report and downloading empty campaigns

2009-02-02 Thread AdWords API Advisor

Hello Rafal,

 Based on those columns, I'm guessing that you're running a Structure
report with aggregationType set to "Keyword"? If that's the case then
I'm not surprised that you don't see any rows in your report
corresponding to campaigns that don't contain any keywords.

 You could try running a separate report with aggregationType set to
"Campaign" and an appropriate set of columns and see if that would
include all your campaigns.

AdWords API Re: Sandbox Speed

2009-02-02 Thread AdWords API Advisor

Hello Phil,

 You just can't make a valid performance comparison between the
Sandbox and Production system. There's a completely different set of
SOAP servers, the backend datastores are on a completely different
scale, and the Sandbox has a number of key components mocked out.

Cheers,

AdWords API Re: "five sandbox client accounts are automatically created" - HOW?

2009-02-02 Thread Peer Jakobsen (AdWords API Guru)

Hi Jeff,

Our old sandbox account started behaving the way described above. So I
followed your advice and created a new one, but I still see the
"internal error" message for some SOAP calls like adding a campaign.
Our test scripts ran just fine last Friday, so I think something weird
is going on in the sandbox. Here follows a SOAP call that works, and a
second one that does not work.

SOAP call that works:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

SOAP call that gives "internal error" message.:
