Jeff, Thanks for your answer. I'll do the rewrite to retrieve a new URL in case of an error. But it's quite a rewrite so it'll take some time. With respect to your question about the time: Most reports are scheduled between 5.30h and 6.00h (European time, GMT-1). In that interval between 30 and

Hello Qu, You'd need to run an Ad Group report to get CTR for ad groups unless you calculated it manually by getting stats for each ad in each ad group and aggregate them, but that's not very straightforward. The start and end dates that you specify in your DefinedReportJob don't have to corresp

Hello Savitha, Either approach will work. You might want to take API unit consumption into account; getCampaignStats() consumes 1 unit per campaign per call, while scheduleReportJob() (which is what the reporting methods in APIlity ultimately call) is a flat 500 API units, plus a few more for po

Hello, Yes, it sounds like you have the math right, though the terminology is a little off. Let's say you're making a call to getKeywordVariations (), as you suggest. The rate sheet shows that that each distinct call to getKeywordVariations() costs 20 API units. So if you make 50 calls, yes, tha

Hi there, thank your for the information. My understanding on the reason for negative keywords on the API side directly is that it would increase the amount of useful keywords that can be returned (due the the limit of 200). i.e. so that keywords that are not needed do not take up a place in the
