With the ColdFusion Adwords API Client Library it is possible to get access to the Google Adwords API (V201101) to start new campaigns, adding ads, to add keywords and so on. All with the help of a simple and robust set of coldfusion components accessing the google adwords api. More at http://www.cfsolutions.de/coldfusion_adwords_api/ .

Install The downloadable Zip consits of the following directories: adwords_api - com - docs - examples To install the ColdFusion Adwords API Client Library you have to extract the zip file to your webroot directory. After doing that you have to move the com folder from webroot/adwords_api/com to webroot/com. Requires: ColdFusion 8 All examples are connecting to the sandbox. You need a google account to get access to the sandbox. Go to the examples dir and change the user settings inside config.cfm to a valid google account and the examples should work. Once you get your api account you can change the settings inside config.cfm again. I suggest using the included coldfusion and extjs based Google Adwords Account Viewer or the Sandbox Account Viewer (Java based GUI for the Adwords API Sandbox) during developement.
