API units remaining

2012-08-17 Thread Ben
Hi, We have been using the API for about 2 years and our monthly free units went from 5MM to 40MM. How do you determine the monthly amount of free units allocated to an API account? Also, when I look back in time on the UI's AdWords API Center section, I see that we have a lot of unused free u

Structural data tends to have a value 'Attribute' under the 'Behavior' column. Performance data tends to be the 'Metric' ones. Most of the data segments you see in the web interface can be retrieved via the 'Segment' ones. Oliver On Friday, August 17, 2012 2:54:34 PM UTC+1, road11 wrote: > >

Do we at least know which fields in the Ad Performance Report are "structural data" (and, hence, cannot be relied upon to be accurate over time), and which ones aren't? On Friday, August 17, 2012 8:42:52 AM UTC-4, Oliver wrote: > The API team can correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to tr

The API team can correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to track changes to structural data is for you to do it yourself locally by comparing, on a daily basis, the structural data you hold against newly downloaded data. On Friday, August 17, 2012 12:32:23 PM UTC+1, road11 wrote: > > Serious

There are some fields in adwords that are not tracked over time. These are mainly 'structural' data fields. AdState is one of them. You will only ever going to see the latest state when you download the performance reports. Just like you can see only the latest value of 'campaign budget' and n

The simpel answer is you can't. This information is not exposed via the API. It is available via the web interface but not the API. Here is a confirmation from the adwords team: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/adwords-api/pJxPuD1IKOQ[1-25] On Sunday, August 12, 2012 5:22:

Hello Jim, There are certain limits on how granular the statistics could be. Having stats segmented by every possible variable such as Device will multiply the amount of data to be stored by a large factor. As a result there are some columns that can not be used together in a single report.
