Click costs from the Adwords API?

How do I gather my spend data?

[RossWal]

I've been looking through the Google Adwords API with the hope of pulling my click cost data into a dashboard that measures traffic and revenue. Can't find any place where I can read my spend within the API, but surely it's there for automated bid management, etc. Who can point me in the right direction?

Hi Rosswall,

1. Generate report, download, analyze
2. Use get(X)Stats from the (X)Service in Adwords API. Example: [google.com...]

Beware, using the API directly can be quite expensive in quota units if used daily/hourly.

Thanks. I had trouble finding that.
