Is there anyway I can grab the info from google adwords [such as cost and click] automatically without having to login manually? I have around 15 account with them, and its time consuming to logged into each one of the account. Can I use any script, API to automate this process? Thanks

I have wondered this myself. Probably with Google's great web site security, it is impossible.

Overture used to allow people to see how much an advertiser bid, but then they too, like Google, hide it.

My understanding is that Google don't have a problem with API and scripts, I figure because there is no interrogation of a price database the only issue is one of a page loading.

There are ways to automate aspects of what you want and rather than you logging in why not set up reports to be delivered to you instead?

I have seen many people out on the web offering adsense related tools. Search on places like hotscripts.

You can in fact do this, and it is not that difficult.

Import Export,

Where is the API documented to do this?

(BUMP) Does anyone know whether Adwords has an API or do you need to use the reporting tool to automate things?

No API right now, just a lot of companies getting fairly advanced in building automated scripts to screen scrape.
