New version of Google AdWords API is now available
Posted by admin in Google, Landing Pages, Pay Per Click
From the Google AdWords blog:
For those of you who use the AdWords API, we are happy to announce the launch of the latest version of the API, v2009. This version offers more speed, scale, and flexibility to developers, at a lower cost. Since v2009 is a production beta, developers can sign up for access and will be whitelisted on a rolling basis. For full details on what you’ll find in v2009 and how to get started, visit the AdWords API blog.
Over the next few months Google also says they’ll continue to introduce new features and additional AdWords functionality.
New AdWords API is pretty good.
What I like the most is unification of add, modify and remove actions so all of them can be done in one web service method call.
But using AdWords API with Google client libraries is not so easy. It requires a lot of code, even for simple operations (for example to download all campaigns you need to initialize and populate CampaignSelector, call Campaign web service method, retrieve results from CampaignReturnValue - all that doesn’t have anything to do with AdWords core objects, it is there only for communication with web service).
But there is a solution! At least for .NET platform.
Check out GemBox.Ppc AdWords API .NET (C#/VB.NET) component that significantly improves AdWords programming experience by reducing code size and development time.
