How to download Google AdWords reports automatically

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to programmatically download an AdWords report (containing information about campaign and keyword performance like impressions, clicks, CTR, etc.) without logging in to the AdWords web site?

I'm aware that they provide an API, but it appears that you have to be approved, and I don't need all the services -- just basic CSV report download.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you don't want to log into Adwords web site, you could try Google AdWords Editor I personally haven't used it, but its worth a try to see if it can create reports.

If you have your own personal site Google may give you some "API Units" for free. And you could use their API to get your stats. The API has almost all the capability of what the Adwords site does, so its something to look into.
