For this, i had download the adwords client library http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/ and i had set the parameter of auth.ini but I didn't know how to use this library and create above functionality?

Answer 1

You need to register your application here: https://code.google.com/apis/console#access then enable AdWords API in application console. then configure in auth.ini email, password, userAgent, developerToken, clientId and clientSecret, the last 3 tokens are given form application console, and you also need to uncoment [OAUTH2] here.

After that you need to create similar file to init.php in examples/201206/ folder.

error_reporting(E_STRICT | E_ALL);

define('SRC_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../src/');
define('LIB_PATH', 'Google/Api/Ads/AdWords/Lib');
define('UTIL_PATH', 'Google/Api/Ads/Common/Util');
define('AW_UTIL_PATH', 'Google/Api/Ads/AdWords/Util');

define('ADWORDS_VERSION', 'v201206');

// Configure include path
ini_set('include_path', implode(array(
    ini_get('include_path'), PATH_SEPARATOR, SRC_PATH
)));

// Include the AdWordsUser
require_once LIB_PATH . '/AdWordsUser.php';

Then find class about visitors and instantiate and call filter method.
