    I use it via these classes:

    http://google-apility.sourceforge.net/

    Pretty simple and good instructions there.

    The only annoying part is that they are so heavily developing the API with new versions coming out so often, your code will stop working unless you keep up to date. So do subscribe to he newsletter!

    I use the API

    if you plan to use it I suggest you to use the APIlity that is an other API on top of the Google Adwords API, that may make your life easier:

    true, and now they added a new system that they are charging for the quota. I don't know how is working exactly the policy for it - looks like some users has still a free monthly quota.

    I'm getting it free - they said because I specifically stated it's for internal use only (which it is). Possibly also because of my spend (on the old system I used about 0.005% of my quota).

    If you need any specific help, give me a shout, as I used to use the Google API constantly when working for a software development organisation that specialised in PPC and bid management software ...

    ... the thing to remember is it's BETA and so they have the right to change the API calls at any time ... you have been warned :)

    Hi,

    you can try this AdWords C# / VB.NET library, if you work in .NET environment. It is pretty easy to use, with a lot of extra features and good documentation.
