Reporting w/ Bing Ads API & PHP Client Library "Bad Request' Error


I'm trying to pull a keyword report from my Bing Ads account using the PHP client library. I'm getting a 'bad request' error and the report doesn't download.

I'm trying to use version 9 of the Bing Ads API.

The following is the error (using print_r($e) in the middle of the script).

Solution

  • It's not quite clear, are you using the Reports in PHP example provided on MSDN, or writing your own from scratch? It appears you might be trying to set the UserName header element to an email address which is not supported. To authenticate a Microsoft account user, you must use OAuth e.g. please see Server Side OAuth Authentication in PHP. The "Bad Request" error is likely the result of something else though, so please share the SOAP request and response if available, and I'm happy to take a look.
