Getting id of an existing report

I'm new to AdWords and to the API. I'm writing a batch process that will create and download reports. And that's all fine. But I'd also like to be able to determine if a report with certain criteria already exists. I can get _all_ the reports for a client id but I can't get a report for a campaignI

100 report definition limit

I have heard that there is a limit of 100 report definitions per client but I have not been able to find any documentation on this. I was wondering what version this is for, is it currently being enforced and any another information you might have. Cheers, Trevor -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

Re: Add Operation Not Permitted

Hi Kevin, This error is usually caused by attempting to create a campaign within an MCC account, which isn't permitted. Ensure you have the clientEmail or clientCustomerId headers set and referencing a client account. Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team On Oct 7, 4:52 pm, kh1964 wrote: > I a

Re: db migration, are accents now ignored for spanish terms

Hi Calford, The TIS choosing to combine statistics for the accented and non- accented version of a word does not reflect any changes in the way Google.com search or AdWords ad serving behaves. As far as I know all accents are treated the same way. Best, - Eric On Oct 8, 9:10 am, calford wrote:

Hi Dom, Unfortunately it isn't possible in v201008 to retrieve the javascript code snippet for a conversion type / tag using the API. We are investigating other ways to programatically generate the javascript code snippet, but we don't have any solutions at this time. For now you'll need to fetc

Hi, 1) You need to set your original AdGroup to control only, so it later gets paused if you promote your experiment. 2) The Quality scores will get preserved the system is smart enough to understand that you are duplicating your ad group. So the suggestion made in the post still valid. Best, -
