What example pulls the total account spend over a time period? #403

We're building an internal reporting tool that'll state how much we've spent that day, week, or month advertising on Google

I've tried three examples but none are pulling out the Cost column for campaigns, ideally I can have this value for the whole account

Can you point me to an example that can achieve this?

Hi Ryan Ryan Brodie,

Are you referring to AdWords or DFP?

Thanks, Thang Duong

@thangduo Thanks for your prompt response 😊

AdWords, we're approved for basic access too and I can successfully pull data using the examples, just not the data I need!

Hello Ryan,

I guess you've tried DownloadCriteriaReportWithSelector.php already?

Based on what you described, you probably just need to add a report field "Cost" to your report definition.

If you need further help on this, I recommend to post on AdWords API Forum, as it's more related to the AdWords API in general.

Best, Knack

@fiboknacky I have and I get an empty report:

cat criteria-report-XXXXXX.csv

"Criteria performance report #XXXXXXXXXXX (Nov 22, 2017-Nov 28, 2017)"
Campaign ID,Ad group ID,Keyword ID,Keyword / Placement,Criteria Type,Impressions,Clicks,Cost
Total, --, --, --, --,0,0,0

However when I use the other campaign examples I correctly see our two running campaigns.

There can be many factors that make your report empty. Could you please ask in the AdWords API Forum. There will be our specialized team helping on that. :)
