May be my question will look dumb but i'm new in using AdWords API hence i got some problems. I'm using Ruby to add campaigns. So i created my MCC account, there I have a client.I'm using SANDBOX. so i create new API object like this:

creds = {

     'developerToken' => 'user@domain.com++USD',
     'useragent' => 'Sample User Agent',
     'password' => 'password',
     'email' => 'user@domain.com',
     'clientEmail' => 'client_1+user@domain.com',
     'applicationToken' => 'IGNORED',
     'environment' => 'SANDBOX',
}
@adwords = AdWords::API.new(AdWords::AdWordsCredentials.new(creds))

then i add some campaigns and finally i get an answer that campaign is added BUT i don't understand where i can see it. I have my my MCC account but i don't understand where these campaigns will appear if i use sandbox not production. Can anybody explain me how to test on SANDBOX? Thanx in advance.

Could you post the code to add the campaigns? – Ewan Heming

Google doesn't provide a front end for the Sandbox to check that code is working. I usually end up just uploading test campaigns to my own production account.

However, if you don't want to do that then there's a Java application that can be pointed at the sandbox to see what's in an account. It can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java/wiki/SandboxAccountViewer

You can view campaigns in Campaign Performance Report (retrievable in XML).

You have to write script which fetches campaigns from sandbox. Whether you are using adwords4r or the new google-adwords-api gem, both of them provide example scripts for various tasks. Here is how to fetch campaigns in google-adwords-api, which is probably what's you're looking for.
