Core streams

Bing Ads is a SOAP based API. Connector is implemented with SDK library

Connector has such core streams, and all of them support full refresh only:

• Account
• Campaign
• AdGroup
• Ad

Report streams

Connector also has report streams, which support incremental sync.

• AccountPerformanceReport
• AdPerformanceReport
• AdGroupPerformanceReport
• CampaignPerformanceReport
• BudgetSummaryReport
• KeywordPerformanceReport

To be able to pull report data you need to generate 2 separate requests.

• First - to request appropriate report

• Second - to poll acatual data. Report download timeout is 5 min

Initially all fields in report streams have string values, connector uses reports.REPORT_FIELD_TYPES collection to transform values to numerical fields if possible

Connector uses reports_start_date config for initial reports sync and current date as an end data.

Connector has hourly_reports, daily_reports, weekly_reports, monthly_reports report streams. For example account_performance_report_daily, ad_group_performance_report_weekly. All these reports streams will be generated on execute.

If lookback_window is set to a non-null value, initial reports sync will start at reports_start_date - lookback_window. Following reports sync will start at cursor_value - lookback_window.

Request caching

Based on library

Connector uses caching for these streams:

• Account
• Campaign
• AdGroup
