AdWords Reports Node.js Library

The project adwords-reports-nodejs-lib provides a simple AdWords reporting library for pulling ad hoc reports described in the AdWords Query Lanaguage (AWQL) directly from the AdWords API.

Installation

If you haven’t already, first, install Node.js for your platform of choice (macOS, Windows, UNIX-like). For macOS and Windows, just use the particular downloadable installers, for UNIX-like systems, the easiest may be to install the Node Version Manager (nvm), and then have nvm install Node.js via nvm install node.

With Node.js comes the Node Package Manager (npm) that serves for managing projects and their dependencies. In an empty folder, initialize a new project via npm init and follow npm’s initialization wizard. You can then install the adwords-reports-nodejs-lib library as a new dependency of your freshly created project with the npm command below.

>$ npm install --save adwords-reports-nodejs-lib

Requirements

In order to use the library you will need:

During first use, you will be prompted to create a hidden .env file into which these three required values should be placed, as well as a custom password that serves for encrypting your authentication details.

Usage

Upon the first run, the library will guide you through the necessary OAuth authentication steps. This is a one-time process, the library automatically takes care of refreshing expired authentication tokens. The library is Promise-based and can be used as outlined in the example below.

const adwords = require('adwords-reports-nodejs-lib');
 
// Options are optional and can be omitted
const options = {
  format: 'TSV',
  skipReportHeader: true,
  skipColumnHeader: true,
  skipReportSummary: true,
  useRawEnumValues: true,
  includeZeroImpressions: true
};
adwords.getReport({
  cid: '123-456-7890',
  awql: 'SELECT Criteria, Clicks FROM KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT DURING TODAY'
}, options)
.then(data => {
  console.log(data);
})
.catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});
