Hi Simon, v201101 got sunset last month. Try v201109.GetCampaigns as the command line version. (Or in general, apiversion.codeexamplename as command line argument). I'll update the video appropriately or leave comments on the youtube video. Cheers, Anash On Thursday, 29 March 2012 21:23:29 UT

Re: Mobile Ad Extension with Show Google forwarding phone number

Hi, Just to be clear. I've heard that Google will automatically opt in all mobile-only campaigns to use call forwarding. Many of our advertisers don't want that feature, and it incurs extra cost. We need a way to turn that off using the API. Thanks, Kevin On Thursday, March 29, 2012 12:54:06

Hi Simon, AFAIK, OAuth doesn't present a Captcha challenge, ClientLogin API does. Sounds like a misconfiguration to me. OAuth 1.0a access tokens don't expire, so you need to get the user to enter the credentials once to generate an accessToken, save it, and then keep reusing it for future requ
