I have also been experiencing this error. I had two occurrences in the reports I ran this morning. Initially I simply implemented a 5 second delay between the time the report status switched to completed and the time I accessed the URL. I will implement the retry discussed here. Tim On Jan

2009-01-08 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hello Bryan, The only time I've ever seen the proxy bid values set is if Google is modifying bids on your behalf--usually via the Budget Optimizer option, but we learned that Position Preferences will cause this to happen as well. In those situations you would not expect the normal CPC settings

Thanks for the response Jeff, appreciate it. When you say you're not able to implement anything more than a single canned response do you mean single response per parameter set, or single response per report type, or single response for every single Report, regardless of type? Obviously the forme

Can I use the AdWords API to change an AdWords Account Password?

I help to manage PPC accounts for clients. I would like to periodically change the AdWords account passwords, but don't want to manually go through and change all of the accounts. Is there a way to do this with the AdWords API? I have looked, but haven't found much in the way of examples, or fo

Jeff, I think my previous question was confusing, let me re-phrase: If we retrieve a keyword from the API and there is a non-zero proxyMaxCpc, does this always mean that the maxCpc will be ignored and the proxy bid will be used instead? Or can there be a non-zero proxyMaxCpc which is ignored fo

Hello, Just to keep folks updated, the root cause is actively being looked into by a member of the core engineering team. There were also some server restarts performed this morning that *may* have improved the situation, but I can't reproduce the problem myself so I couldn't say for sure. Chee

Hello Pete, I'm referring to a single canned response for all calls to scheduleReportJob() that involve a DefinedReportJob (which is effectively all possible reports in v12/v13). This would be regardless of the parameters and selectedColumns. It's not ideal, but it's one of the restrictions impo

Hello Bryan, Yes, I gathered that that's what you were asking, and I was trying to indicate (with a bid of hedging) that I believe that's the case-- whenever there's a non-zero proxyMaxCpc I believe that means that proxy bidding is in effect. That's certainly what the documentation implies:

Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to do it at the MCC level or possibly somewhere in the Provisioning API? Should I post on a different board or is it simply impossible to change login information using the API in general. I really appreciate your help. I have been trying to find a way to
