Tim,

In order to retrieve Keywords, you need to supply adGroupId as a parameter. In order to retrieve AdGroups, you need to supply campaignId as a parameter. So you'll need to start from the top down.

Hello,

Is there any mechanism to retrieve all of the keywords and all of the ads for an account without going through all of the campaigns-

adgroups->etc.

I noticed your Account Structure report, however I also read that it does not return deleted keywords/ads.

Is this still the case? Documentation doesn't specify.

Also, there are many developer complaints about Account Structure not working properly, or taking hours to run, have these been resolved?

Do any of the other reports guarantee values for all keywords/ads?

In a broader sense:

I would like to foreach account, retrieve all keywords retrieve all ads using their parent ids, retrieve all adgroups using their parent ids, retrieve all campaigns

this way I could make 4 calls to the api, rather than possibly thousands.

Any hints?
