NAME

Google::Adwords - an interface which abstracts the Google Adwords SOAP API

VERSION

This documentation refers to Google::Adwords version 1.3.1

API VERSION

Google::Adwords currently uses version 9 (v9) of the Adwords API which is the default. You can also opt to use version 8 if you wish. Just set the api_version() in your *Service objects to 'v8'.

    # use v8 of the Adwords API
    $campaign_service->api_version('v8');

SYNOPSIS

    use Google::Adwords::CampaignService;
    use Google::Adwords::Campaign;

    # create the service
    my $service = Google::Adwords::CampaignService->new();

    # login details
    $service->email('email@domain.com')
            ->password('password')
            ->developerToken($developer_token)
            ->applicationToken($app_token);

    # if you use a MCC
    #$service->clientEmail('clientemail@domain.com');
    # or (but not both)
    #$service->clientCustomerId('xxx-xxx-xxxx');

    # To use an earlier version of the Adwords API
    #$service->api_version('v8');

    # if you want SOAP trace output
    #$service->debug(1);

    # create a campaign object
    my $campaign = Google::Adwords::Campaign->new();

    # fill in your campaign details
    $campaign->name('my campaign #1')
             ->dailyBudget(100000)
             ->status('Paused');

    # add the campaign
    my $campaign_response = $service->addCampaign($campaign);

    # ID of new campaign
    my $campaign_id = $campaign_response->id;
    
    # time taken for the API call 
    my $response_time = $service->responseTime;

    # quota units consumed
    my $units_consumed = $service->units;

DESCRIPTION

This collection of modules under Google::Adwords provides an easy to use object oriented interface to the Google Adwords SOAP API. You don't need to understand SOAP or web services to use this module.

Read the manual page for this module in order to see how to setup your authentication details and other options available

Each API Service belongs to a module of the same name as the service

Many services need to deal with complex data types which are available as objects
