Is there a way to access the Adwords in Google App Scripts?

Question

I have created a Adwords Script and able to run in adwords UI.

function getCurrentAccountDetails() {
var currentAccount = AdWordsApp.currentAccount();
Logger.log('Customer ID: ' + currentAccount.getCustomerId() +
   ', Currency Code: ' + currentAccount.getCurrencyCode() +
   ', Timezone: ' + currentAccount.getTimeZone());
var stats = currentAccount.getStatsFor('LAST_MONTH');
Logger.log(stats.getClicks() + ' clicks, ' +
   stats.getImpressions() + ' impressions last month');
}

Can I run Adwords scripts in Google App Scripts, since GAS can be published as webapps so that I can give some values on demand to the Adwords Script.

I am getting below error because in GAS no access to AdwordsApp. So is there a way to communicate to Adwords Scripts using App scripts.

ReferenceError: "AdWordsApp" is not defined.

My Requirement is to create video ads by taking inputs from the user. So for this I didn't found any Adwords API details, so I want to use AdwordsScript to create video ads by taking some parameters( name, video_url etc) from the outside.

Answer 1

Not in any official way. There's no REST API and client libraries only exist for a handful of languages. GAS is not one of them. I was only able to find this NPM package for Node:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/adwords-api

Of course, this won't work with Apps Script, so you'll have to rewrite the code.

Answer 2

it seems you can through external API, and using OAuth libraries to connect (already included as libraries in google apps script):
