    Hi all,
     
    I am developing a WordPress plugin which polls the Adsense Management
    API to get info about earnings; so far for development purposes I have used
    most of the code from the google-api-php-client, but before releasing the
    plugin I would like to get info about licensing issues (sorry if this is
    not the best place to ask!).
     
    I would like to have 2 flavours:
     
    1. Free plugin, uploaded to the WP Plugin repository
    2. Paid version, with premium functionality
     
    My question is, how much of the Google examples code can I reuse for my
    plugin (my main concern is the OAuth part, as the Adsense API part seems
    not too hard for me to code my own version), in both versions (free/paid)?
    WP Plugins (as I understand it) come under GPLv2, whereas Google samples
    are Apache 2.0 license.
     
    Could you please show some light on this?
     
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Raúl,
     
    I'm afraid I really can't give you any advice on this, as it sounds like a
    legal matter. I'll see if I can find someone at Google that can help you
    with these issues, and get back in touch with you!
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio

    Hi Raúl,
     
    I'm afraid we really can't provide any legal advice on this matter; you
    should probably seek your own legal counsel on these licensing issues if
    you have any questions. Here is the FSF's page regarding the Apache License
    v2, which may be a good start:

    Hi all,
     
    I am querying the Adsense Management API for a report in earnings
    similar to the one in the google-api-php-client example
    (metric: 'PAGE_VIEWS', 'AD_REQUESTS','CLICKS', 'AD_REQUESTS_CTR',
    'COST_PER_CLICK', 'EARNINGS',
    dimension: 'DATE')
     
    , but adding a filter by a specific AD_UNIT_CODE. So, for those days in
    which, I guess, Page Views and/or Ad Requests are 0, I am not getting the
    row from the API for that specific day, thus leaving a gap in my report,
    like:
     
    2012-01-01 xxx
    2012-01-02 xxx
    2012-01-04 xxx
     
    which seems to make the report a bit more confusing. Is this the
    expected behaviour? If so, is there a way to get all the rows, even if they
    show a 0 in all columns?
     
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Raúl,
     
    This is indeed the expected behaviour; if there is no data for a given
    date, no row will be shown for it. This applies to all dimensions, not just
    dates and time periods, so for example if you choose PRODUCT_NAME as a
    dimension, you won't get back any rows for AdSense products which aren't
    being used.
     
    I'm afraid there's no way of changing this behaviour; you'll need to fill
    in the gaps with zeroes yourself, which in your case should be a matter of
    iterating through a calendar of your desired time range.
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio

    I have some AdSense Management API questions -
     
    1. As I understand, startIndex and maxResults support pagination for
    records within 5000
    How do I paginate in case if records are more than 5000?
     
    2. I have noticed that the quota for this API is set to 1.0 request per
    second per user. Which means that if 2 users make an api request within the
    same second then this limit will kick in. I am trying to avoid this
    situation.
    What defines a user? Is it the Client ID/Client Secret per project that we
    create?
     
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    -Vaibhav

    Hi Vaibhav,
     
    1. I'm afraid there is no way to paginate beyond 5000 rows. Pagination is
    meant for very specific use-cases only, where the end devices are lacking
    in bandwidth or capacity to retrieve the entire report in one go, and in
    these cases there's usually no need to go beyond a few thousand records.
     
    2. A user is defined as an individual Google account (so in the case of the
    AdSense Management API, an AdSense account). Do bear in mind that the limit
    you're referring to is just the default, and it's actually configurable.
    You can set it to a higher or lower value for your project by using the
    "Set per-user limits" button in the Quotas section of your project in the APIs
    console <https://code.google.com/apis/console>.
     
    Cheers,
    Sérgio
