Reporting Service

Initialization

# Authentication token is not supported in sandbox, use `username` and `password` instead
# https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn277356.aspx

options = {
  environment: :sandbox,

  # client_settings: { logger: LOGGER::STDOUT }
}

service = Bing::Ads::API::V11::Services::Reporting.new(options)

Submit Generate Report

To get reports from Bing, you must first submit a report generation request.

The method submit_generate_report receive two params as input, first the report_type and then a hash with the report options.

Example:

response = service.submit_generate_report(:keyword_performance, {
  exclude_column_headers: false,
  exclude_report_footer: false,
  exclude_report_header: false,
  language: 'English',
  format: 'Tsv',
  report_name: 'keyword_performance_report',
  return_only_complete_data: false,
  aggregation: 'Daily',
  columns: [:destination_url, :average_cpc],
  from_date: '2017-10-23',
  to_date: '2017-10-25'
  account_ids: [144012349, 224002158]
})

The required options depend on the report type you are using.

Response example:

{:report_request_id=>"30000000999745662", :@xmlns=>"https://bingads.microsoft.com/Reporting/v11"}

Poll Generate Report

To retrieve the report generated you have a few options:

You can check if the report is ready and then get the url:

service.report_url(report_request_id) if service.report_ready?(report_request_id)

Or you can download the body of the report when it's ready. (and then write to a file for example)

service.report_body(report_request_id) if service.report_ready?(report_request_id)

You can also get the entire poll_generate_reportl report object:

service.poll_generate_report(report_request_id)
