Help with Google Adwords API SOAP Request

I am working with the Google Adwords API and am simply hitting my head against the wall. There really is nothing around to help me out. The only threads I can find are from 2005 / 2006. Does anyone have any working examples of a SOAP request for V10 of Google Adwords API? Many thanks.

Here's a little more: I am working with this WSDL: https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v10/KeywordToolService?wsdl The only thing I've really found is that Dreamweaver has some utility for analyzing this WSDL file for me to help me understand (or even generate) the CF code I need. But I prefer to do it by hand so that I have a deeper understanding of what I'm doing. From what I've read at the Adobe help for CFMX7 is that I can do this with one of two methods: CFINVOKE or CFSCRIPT. But both really do the same thing under the hood. I'd like to go with CFINVOKE, which seems simpler to me. However, how do I get from the contents of this WSDL file to what tags are needed in my CFINOVKE call?   With how ubiquitous web services has become, the lack of documentation for CF is amazing to me. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

Really!!! Is it possible nobody is working with Google Adwords API in CF?  That amazes me. I guess it's time to learn PHP... It's sad, after 9 years with CF.

Or maybe, just maybe, it's time to learn CF? > Really!!! Is it possible nobody is working with Google Adwords API in CF?   That amazes me. I guess it's time to learn PHP... It's sad, after 9 years with CF.

Let me address this comment first: " I'd like to go with CFINVOKE, which seems simpler to me. However, how do I get from the contents of this WSDL file to what tags are needed in my CFINOVKE call?  With how ubiquitous web services has become, the lack of documentation for CF is amazing to me." CFINVOKE is documented. It is documented in the reference. In the dev guide there is a whole chapter on using web services. Have you bothered to read these? As for the particular web services... Adobe can't tell you how to use every web service that exists. They can only tell you how to work with web services. Each web service has it's own API and you are responsible for reading the documentation for that. Did you read the Google docs? If they are lacking, then you need to ask Google. From my own personal experience, I've found working with Google services to be a bit difficult. Not from the CF side - but from the Google side. So if you are having trouble, maybe you should look to Google before you blame CF. Now, with that aside, lets look at your first question: "I'd like to go with CFINVOKE, which seems simpler to me. However, how do I get from the contents of this WSDL file to what tags are needed in my CFINOVKE call?" This is where Google comes in. Google's docs will tell you what method to use, and what attributes are required. So begin there. > Really!!! Is it possible nobody is working with Google Adwords API in CF?   That amazes me.

"Someone tell me how to do this or I'm switching to PHP." Nice attitude. A news flash for you: If you can't read the WSDL or the documentation on the web service and figure out what to pass in, you're screwed in any language. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Dude, after all the crying over the price hike on Enterprise only CF, I really don't think crying "I'm just gonna learn PHP!" is going to get you anywhere.  In effect, you are threatening to leave the community, and I really don't think anyone is scared, and most wont miss ya.

I have a feeling you did not get a response because the email side of CFTalk seems to be really hit and miss for the last week. I had to go to the web site to see any of your thread on this subject. CF has great documentation on web service usage. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/ Look in the ColdFusion MX Developer's Guide section under "Using Web Services". Really!!!

Maybe if you posted the problem you are having and code you are using? This is for adsense api, but I am guessing pretty darn similar. http://www.usefulconcept.com/index.cfm/2007/4/30/Google-Adsense-API-Headers-with-ColdFusion > Really!!!
