Get AdGroup Stats for specified date range (in Ruby)

Hey, I was wondering how one would fetch AdGroup stats over a specified date range. I am using the ruby library, and while I can see the general api docs at AdGroupSelector and other areas. Can anyone point me in the right direction - what service I should really be using, etc? Thanks, -M

Re: Sandbox: PolicyViolationError when updating/creating ads

I am seeing a similar error [PolicyViolationError.POLICY_ERROR @ operations[0].operand.ad.description1] when adding an ad to an adgroup. The description1 field i am using is 'Save Time & Money'. I'm guessing the & (ampersand) symbol is the cause of the error. How can i deal with this issue?

Hi Eric, This results in a related problem. When calling mutate on the AdGroupAdService to modify an existing ImageAd I have to specify the mediaId of the image associated with the ad. Otherwise, the operation will fail. So if I cannot get the mediaId using AdGroupAdService.get() how else can I ob

Re: v201109 Quality Score Differences

Hi Sanjou, CID 8136225734 needs to be connected to the MCC or in the sub-tree of the MCC that you are using to create the AdWordsUser. As far as I can see CID 8136225734 is not connected to any MCC and ServicedAccountService only works on managed accounts (accounts managed by MCCs). Best, -D

MutateJobService with mix operations

Hello all! I know about 3 hours delay, and since I'm pessimist, I query CampaignStats after at least 6 hours from previous day. However, sometimes I found that previously reported data changed, e.g. clicks/costs removed. For example, I got 67 clicks for period "2011-11-01";"2011-11-20", and I qu
