Using a script to output data from AdSense Account

Is it possible? Is it allowed?

I'm using some of the code from the AdLogger scripts on my site to gather information about the ads people are clicking.

I wish I could pair this information with data from my AdSense account, such as the value of clicks in the channels.

Is it possible to automatically and regularly gather this information using an online language like PHP? Even more importantly, if this is possible, would it be allowed?

I would imagine it would be possible, since there are third party desktop tracking packages that can output this data from the website when you provide your user name and password.

Thanks

It's certainly possible using PHP and cURL. I've written such a script as a test, though i wasn't sure about if this violates TOS so i don't use it.

Thanks Andy.

Glad to know it is conceivable.

I emailed AdSense to see if such a script that would run once a day would be allowed. I'll definitely post back what I find out.
