Question

I’m creating my own bidmanager and stumbled upon a certain problem. I am able to retrieve the statistics (so clicks, …) from the Campaigns/adgroups but I can’t seem to find anything related to retrieving the statstics per keyword WITHOUT generating a report?

I’m currently able to retrieve the keywors name and matchtype, by using the AdGeoupCriterionService. However, I don’t see a possibility in there to retrieve the statistics per keyword.

Upon googling, a lot of stuff is found which is using the statsSelector which is, in the latest version, not supported anymore

Any idea on how to retrieve those stats?

Answer 1

I can see them in the AdgroupCriterionService
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selectorfields#v201209-AdGroupCriterionService

or you can download a Keyword Performance report:
