#The Google Ads APIs Python Client Libraries

This client library simplifies accessing Google's SOAP Ads APIs - AdWords, DoubleClick Ad Exchange SOAP, DoubleClick for Advertisers, and DoubleClick for Publishers. The library provides easy ways to store your authentication credentials and log SOAP interactions. It also contains example code to help you get started integrating with our APIs.

##How do I get started? Install or update the library from PyPI. If you're using pip, this is as easy as:

$ pip install [--upgrade] adspygoogle

If you don't want to install directly from PyPI, you can download the library as a tarball and then install it manually. The download can be found here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/adspygoogle Navigate to the directory that contains your downloaded unzipped client library and run the "setup.py" script to install the "adspygoogle" module.

$ python setup.py build install

You can find code examples in the git repo and in the library's releases within the examples folder.
