I'm using ads-google python client library. I've faced an issue while I was creating campaign criterion which type of language. It requires me to specify language resource name on this campaign criterion type and I have no idea how to get this resource name for my chosen language.
There's reference data available in the Google Ads API documentation. The language codes and corresponding criteria IDs can be found here.

does anybody know if there is a way how to create a label for a keyword using Google Ads API? It can be done using the web interface and apparently it could be done using the Adwords API, but I can't find a way how to do it using Google Ads API so I don't know if it's a feature which they didn't implement or if I'm blind.
Their documentation says
Labels allow you to categorize your campaigns, ad groups, ads, and keywords, and use those categories to simplify your workflow in a variety of ways.
which would suggest that it CAN be done, however below on the same page it states
You can assign labels to your campaigns, customers, ad groups, criteria, or ads.
No word about keywords. I am working with PHP / Laravel and I am using their official php package for the API communication. The package has classes like CampaignLabelOperation, CustomerLabelOperation, AdGroupLabelOperation, etc. but NO "KeywordLabelOperation".
Anybody have a clue if I just can't find it or whatever I could do? Thanks a lot for any help
Technically speaking, Keywords are Ad Group Criteria. Therefore, you'd need to use the AdGroupCriterionLabelService's MutateAdGroupCriterionLabels to create a keyword label.
I need to extract data from the adwords API to allow me to see the impact of different attribution models on conversion. I'm visualising my adwords data in the Klipfolio tool. My adwords account is set up to use the position based model but I'd also like to show last click conversions. This is essentially the data which is available in the adwords manager interface. I'm making my API calls via the supermetrics tool but can also create them directly in Klipfolio.
I'm not entirely familiar with the adwords query language but it does look like that there is a field for attribution type.
I've got as far as extracting data via this, using the Klipfolio interface:
SELECT
Date,Conversions,ConversionTypeName
FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
DURING {date.add(-7).format('yyyyMMdd')},{date.today.format('yyyyMMdd')}
Exactly what I'm looking for is WHERE function where I can specify a different type of attribution model from the current.
I cannot obtain this data from our Google Analytics data as our conversion data from GA is, unfortunately, duplicated. We're using the adword's conversion tags de-duplication functions to get around this issue.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could share an example of how an API request could look with the attribution model field present or, indeed, give some feedback on whether this is even possible.
Hi you can find more information about the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report here
You can find there the WHERE and SELECT fields like this:
SELECT CampaignName, Clicks, Impressions, Cost
FROM CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
WHERE Impressions < 10
DURING LAST_30_DAYS'
Usually the reason for the duplications it's the selection of SELECT parameters, but I cannot say this for sure without more information.
Is it possible to use the glcid supplied from Ad words to pull data from the AdWords API?
In particular I would be looking for cost of a click and the keywords used to search for the advert.
Generaly, you can use GCLID in API, for example when importing offline conversions after conversion happened and you somehow saved GCLID. Unfortunately, in Keywords report, passing GCLID parameter as argument is not supported.

I want that Google uses only English as interface language, despite the IP I am currently using is from a non English speaking country.
I can do so manually with the settings in the Google language settings, but I couldn't identify a GET parameter that is responsible for the Google Language interface settings.
I want to make raw Get requests with a networking library. So I cannot set the settings in the google user interface.
The search reference wasn't particularly useful: http://www.google.com/support/enterprise/static/gsa/docs/admin/72/gsa_doc_set/xml_reference/request_format.html
Thanks for any hints!
Found it:
Optional. The hl parameter specifies the interface language (host language) of your user interface. To improve the performance and the quality of your search results, you are strongly encouraged to set this parameter explicitly.

Following the API's description :
"The Google Documents List API allows developers to create, retrieve, update, and delete Google Docs"
What if I need to write something in a table using an external application?
This is totally and completely possible. For example, I am using python to create and update Google Doc Spreadsheets based on what the user does. There are multiple languages for you to choose from and all are fairly well documented.
