DESCRIPTION

Google::Ads::Common::ReportUtils a collection of utility methods for working with reports.

SUBROUTINES

get_report_handler

Prepares a new instance of Google::Ads::Common::ReportDownloadHandler using the specified parameters. The actual download of report contents will not be invoked by this procedure, but instead will occur when you call one of the procedures on the returned handler to save the report to a file, get its contents as a string, etc.

Parameters

  • The report_definition parameter is either:

    • A ReportDefinition object to be defined and downloaded on the fly OR

    • A hash with an AWQL query and format. i.e.

      { query => 'query',
        format => 'format' }
  • The client parameter is an instance of a valid Google::AdWords::Client.

  • The server is an optional parameter that can be set to alter the URL from where the report will be requested.

  • The timeout is an optional parameter that can be set to alter the default time that the http client waits to get a response from the server. If not set, the default timeout used is Google::Ads::Common::ReportUtils::LWP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT.

Returns

A new Google::Ads::Common::ReportDownloadHandler. See the methods of Google::Ads::Common::ReportDownloadHandler that support different use cases for processing the response's contents.
