Package gads provides a wrapper for the Google Adwords SOAP API. Based off of emiddleton/gads, this version was updated to support v201506 and Go 1.5.

Currently this project remains a fork and is a joint effort between colinmutter/gads (working on AWQL, and Go 1.5 support) and rfink/gads (working on v201506 compatibility).

	go get github.com/colinmutter/gads

In order to access the API you will need to sign up for an MMC account[1], get a developer token[2] and setup authentication[3]. There is a tool in the setup_oauth2 directory that will help you setup a configuration file.

2. https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/signingup
3. https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/authentication

Currently, the you need to supply credentials via NewCredentialsFromParams or NewCredentialsFromFile. The credentials can be obtained from the file generated in the previous step.

For example in this CLI script, I am handling a conf file via flags:

go run cli/adgroups_awql.go -oauth ~/auth.json

NOTE: Other examples still need to be updated to support the removal of the built-in oauth configuration file flag.

This project currently supports v201409 and v201506. To select the appropriate version, import the specific package:

  import (
    gads "github.com/colinmutter/gads/v201506"
  )

The package is comprised of services used to manipulate various adwords structures. To access a service you need to create an gads.Auth and parse it to the service initializer, then can call the service methods on the service object.

     authConf, err := NewCredentialsFromFile("~/creds.json")
     campaignService := gads.NewCampaignService(&authConf.Auth)

     campaigns, totalCount, err := cs.Get(
       gads.Selector{
         Fields: []string{
           "Id",
           "Name",
           "Status",
         },
       },
     )

Note: This package is a work-in-progress, and may occasionally make backwards-incompatible changes.
